Where to begin? If she'd only had a hand in writing the immortal 'Out in the Streets' and those other Shangri Las classics listed here, she'd have a place in any sensible person's pop hall of fame.
ReplyDeleteAside from summing up the depth of the loss of Ellie more eloquently than a more wordy tribute ever could, Everett's list also proves that anyone who doesn't already have a copy of One Kiss Can Lead to Another (Girl Group Sounds Lost & Found) really is missing out...
Rest in peace Ellie. And thank you.
