The stroke of fortune that turned Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich into singers and Jeff into a producer started with a song, “What a Guy”, written by the husband and wife team for the Sensations, a doo-wop girl group out of Philadelphia. Jeff and Ellie recorded the demo. What they didn’t know was that Lieber and Stoller thought the demo was good enough to release on the Jubilee label, and they surprised Jeff and Ellie when they told them they needed to come up with a name for the band. Ellie picked the Raindrops in honor of her favorite Dee Clark record. No one was more surprised than Ellie when her voice appeared on the radio in heavy rotation a few weeks later.

No I never did.

Sids life was a train wreck.
Still, he managed a few bits.
I Knew Stiv Bators, he was freaking remarkable but he ended up the same way

Stiv Bators~ Make up your mind

”What a Guy” opened doors that not even Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich thought possible. The duo was asked to sing background on recording sessions all over New York and to sing demos of other writers’ songs. Quincy Jones hired Ellie to sing background on Lesley Gore’s recordings, and she quickly became the preferred demo singer for many of the top Brill Building composers.

They followed up their initial Raindrops hit with another.

The Raindrops: “The Kind of Boy You Can’t Forget”

Speaking of the Sensations, here's their big hit from 1956:

In 1961, Jeff Barry's group the Redwoods released Shake, Shake, Sherry.

[Publius]

The Quincy Jones connection earned more than just background vocals for Ellie. Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich gave Lesley Gore a major success in the summer of 1964. Note Hal Blaine’s “burlesque runway” drum riff after Lesley’s opening vocal line. This song is a masterpiece, with its movement from major to minor throughout. (This is one of my personal favorites.)

Lesley Gore: “Maybe I Know”

I remember when the Dead Boys came out, and the Pistols.
I thought they sucked.

Stiv Bators was a real jerk, he used to hijack the stage from my friends band. He’d just walk on stage in the middle of a song and grab the mike.
The band would wig out trying to keep it all together and then they would follow Bators lead and it just worked.
The man was an ego maniac.

Soon I was starting to like this stuff.
Then Stiv formed lords of the New Church with Brian James in an attempt to go mainstream.
Brian was cool, I had a few beer with him. It was just a gig for him.
But Stivs head swelled and.. POP!

The Brian James Gang~ Work All Day

[Publius]

”Doo Wah Diddy Diddy” was an early composition from Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich that finally achieved hit status when a group from the first wave of the British Invasion recorded it in the summer of 1964. Paul Jones, who later became an actor, handled lead vocal duties.

Manfred Mann: “Doo Wah Diddy Diddy”

[AZamericonnie]

I have never seen this before but I can't tell you the last time I laughed this hard!!!!

Cal seriously want's to sell a car!

The Lieber & Stoller connection brought Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich to the Drifters for one of the group’s last successes.

Must retire – they're dragging us into the office early tomorrow – the bugler already mounts the parapet. Will chat with you all on the morrow.

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

In the spring of 1964, Jerry Lieber, Mike Stoller and George Goldner asked Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich to help them start up a record label. Sisters Barbara and Rosalie Hawkins, and cousin Joan-Marie Johnson were among several New Orleans-based groups brought to Red-Bird Records. The girls were put under the care of Jeff and Ellie who began rehearsing the girls on a song they’d written the previous year with Phil Spector for the Ronettes. It became a massive hit and a huge cash generator for the new label.

Angry Birds Main Theme

The London Philharmonic. It is intersting to me how so much of this music is orchestrated & the Asian dominance.

Everybody's doing well and thank you!

Forgive the delay in answering but I was just flipping through the channels looking for some good news.....either I've got too many channels or not enough.

Here's a little ditty for all of us.

[Fiji Hill]

My favorite version of "Do Wah Diddy" is by the Exciters, from late 1963, available here.

Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich had no trouble following that hit in the summer of 1964.

The Dixie Cups: “People Say”

[LUV W]

Hi, Connie!

I love him too. A gift from a friend. :)

It’s kind of cold, will be warmer on Sunday, and with this
crazy Texas weather, it could snow on Easter! LOL!

[Fiji Hill]

Although this has the same title as the Dixie Cups' opus, it's a totally different song. Once a sought-after collector's item, it's now available for free on Youtube.

Chapel of Love--The Hitmakers, 1958
