I was thinking this needed a separate thread, only a few folks commented on yesterday's revive! So sad but what a life lived, and what songs!

I was astonished when I first started paying attention to songwriting credits as well as band credits and discovered how many of them included her name.
I mean, to see Barry/Greenwich on the production credits of anything is pretty much a guarantee of quality.
This woman is responsible for such a huge amount of my music collection it's not even funny.
RIP.

this song has her actually singing (she's not in the video montage, obv.) good tune, and she had a nice voice.

This morning, I saw a TV reporting this at a service station, on subtitles.
Apparently, she was involved in writing songs such as "Leader of the Pack", and "bmibaby"

"Don't Ever Leave Me" by Connie Francis is GREAT.
