In late 1964, The Shangri-Las hit # 1 in the US charts with "The Leader of the Pack."
The girls were Mary Ann Ganser, Marge Ganser and Mary Weiss. They had a unique style of singing and speaking in their songs!
The girls were very young and had a few other hits but nothing came close to the success of "The Leader of the pack".
According to songfacts:
"This is a tale of young love, parental disapproval and death by motorbike."
It is one of my all time favorite "girl group" classics.
