CARL BENSON
Although best known as the composer of many early 1960s classic rock songs, the multitalented Ellie Greenwich also excelled as a singer, studio arranger and producer, and music business entrepreneur. Her songs-recorded by stars such as Lesley Gore, the Dixie Cups, the Shangri-Las, Jay and the Americans, the Exciters, and Phil Spector’s Philles roster-were unsurpassed in reflecting the teen experience of that era.
