Various - Ellie Greenwich songs (@256)


















(1) Ellie circa 1968 (2)The Raindrops (Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich along with Ellie's sister Laura who did not participate in the couple's recordings!)

Another major loss... Ellie Greenwich, one of the most prominent composers of the Brill Building left us on August 26. This upload reminds us some of the songs that Ellie Greenwich co-written; most of them are of course with Jeff Barry. It is amazing how outrageously infectious these songs are.

01-Bob B. Soxx and The Blue Jeans - Why Do Lovers Break Each Others Hearts (Spector-Powers-Greenwich) (1962)
02-Crystals - Da Doo Ron Ron (Spector-Barry-Greenwich) (1963)

08-Darlene Love - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) (Spector-Barry-Greenwich) (1963)
