Ellie Greenwich was a major influence on sixties rock’n’roll and one of the most successful songwriters of the pop music era, earning a startling 25 gold and platinum records. Think girl groups of the sixties like The Shangri-Las, The Ronettes, The Shirelles and songs such as "Chapel of Love", "Da Doo Ron Ron", "Be My Baby" and "Leader of the Pack" and get ready to take a party trip back to the golden age of pop!
