I saw Lala Brooks at MoMA Queens with Georgia and Ira and Gaylord once. It was really good.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Oh no, I missed the original poll - I can see that quite clearly by the fact that no one voted for Leader of the Pack.
Could very easily be Be My Baby, Da Doo Ron Ron or Then He Kissed Me - but I'm going with Train From Kansas City, not just because I love the Shangri-Las, but because of the frankly amazing cover by the Shop Assistants, where they lovingly re-created not just the harmonies, but the entire *train*, using Mary Chain-esque guitar feedback.

Good thing I voted for “I Can Hear Music.”

In recent years I’ve come to the conclusion that Charlie Gillett titled his book after one of its more prominent lyrics.

So Be My Baby did indeed win, and maybe stole some votes from the previous poll winners? Christmas and Train from Kansas City fell a bit.
Anyway, all but one track got votes, so in conclusion, Ellie Greenwich penned a shitton of amazing songs.
