Feb. 6, 1965 - On sale today is “Leader of the Pack,” the debut album by the girl group the Shangri-Las.
The album was produced to capitalize on the group’s breakthrough hits “Remember (Walking in the Sand)” and “Leader of the Pack.”
Other songs on the album include cover versions of “Maybe,” originally by the Chantels, along with “Shout” by the Isley Brothers and “Twist and Shout” by the Top Notes. Also on the album is “Give Him a Great Big Kiss,” which the Shangri-Las released as a single last December.
The Shangri-Las, consisting of Mary Weiss, her sister Betty, and twin sisters Marge Ganser and Mary Ann Ganser, formed at Andrew Jackson High School in Cambria Heights, a neighborhood in Queens, in 1963.
