Artist Bio:
The Shangri-Las were an American girl group formed in 1963 in Queens, New York. The group consisted of two sets of sisters: Mary Weiss and Elizabeth "Betty" Weiss, and identical twins Marguerite "Marge" and Mary Ann Ganser. They were known for their dramatic and rebellious image, often wearing leather jackets and singing songs that featured themes of teenage angst and heartbreak.
The Shangri-Las achieved commercial success in the mid-1960s with hits such as "Leader of the Pack" and "Remember (Walking in the Sand)". Their music combined elements of rock and roll, doo-wop, and pop, and their songs often featured spoken word passages and sound effects. Despite a relatively short career, The Shangri-Las left a lasting impact on pop music and are considered one of the pioneering girl groups of the era.
