Artist Bio:
The Shangri-Las were an American girl group formed in Queens, New York in 1963. The group consisted of two sets of sisters: Mary Weiss and Elizabeth "Betty" Weiss, and identical twins Marguerite "Marge" Ganser and Mary Ann Ganser. The Shangri-Las were known for their dramatic and rebellious style, often singing about teenage angst, heartbreak, and tough-girl attitudes.
Their most famous songs include "Leader of the Pack," "Remember (Walking in the Sand)," and "Give Him a Great Big Kiss." The Shangri-Las' music was characterized by their unique blend of pop, rock, and doo-wop, and their songs often featured spoken-word interludes and strong vocal harmonies. Despite their relatively short career, The Shangri-Las left a lasting impact on the music industry and are considered one of the most influential girl groups of the 1960s.
