Paul Pascoe I was watching that Shop Assistants vid yesterday I love their version. I'm staggered by the lack of comments and general respect for one of the greatest songwriters in pop history. Weird. Maybe it's because she didn't have a penis? How thoughtless. Fri at 7:10pm · Delete
Everett True i agree. it's been quite disheartening Fri at 11:37pm · Delete
Everett True If I'd remembered at the time, I'd have put the X-Ocettes on my Ellie tribute CD. I'm sure there will be a pt 2... Fri at 11:48pm · Delete

Everett True I'm actually quite shocked at how few people seem moved at Ellie Greenwich's passing. One of pop music's greatest songwriters, full stop.
Simon Price I think it's because most people didn't realise she was still alive. Sat at 12:03am · Delete

Andy Barding I seem to have lots of senior gentlemen... that'll be it. That Raindrops album was on constant play when I was Pipette-ing it. That was the benchmark. Didn't get there, of course, but it's good to dream! Sat at 12:35am · Delete

If you’re a photographer or illustrator (or other) and you see your work up here, unfairly uncredited – please contact me so I can either credit it, or take it down forthwith. I have tried to source public domain images, but it can be quite tricky.
