I have to confess that I'd never heard the name Ellie Greenwich until today, but apparently she is one of my favorite songwriters of all time. Among the hits she co-wrote with her husband, Jeff Barry: Be My Baby, Then he Kissed Me, Da Doo Ron Ron, Maybe I Know, Do Wah Diddy, Baby I Love You, Leader of the Pack, (Today I Met) The Boy I'm Gonna Marry, I Can Hear Music, Chapel of Love, Tell Laura I Love Her, and River Deep, Mountain High.
Start browsing with this playlist (which includes a few tracks written by Barry solo). Track 6 is the Raindrops, a short-lived group featuring Greenwich herself as lead vocalist.
