FOUND: SHANGRI-LA(S)


My family used to tune into the local oldies station because it was the only music the four of us could agree on. This created a soft spot in my musical tastes for tunes I never lived through. Recently, I've taken a renewed interested in girl groups of the late 50s and 60s, such as the the Shangri-La's. The La's hit it big with "Leader of the Pack" and a few other jams, but this cd which I received in the mail today thanks to lala.com (best website ev-er) showcases the hidden talent of four overly dramatic teens, ages 15 and 17.

Did you know that Mary Weiss, lead singer of the Shangri-La's, has a new cd coming out. Like, 40 years later?!! Read the interview here.
