"Leader of the Pack' remains one of my all time favourite singles. 
RIP

"Walking in the sand" - absolutely haunting.

RIP, and thoughts with her loved ones.

+1 for Walking In The Sand.

And 'Past, Present And Future' is one of the most unusual and greatest pop singles ever. It's her voice that makes it, even though it's only spoken and not sung.

RIP

Someone who was a pop star and pretty much gave it all up. 

Those big productions with Mary’s aching voice were three minute operettas. Covered by loads of people and an influence on many (especially Amy Winehouse’ Back to Black) even if Mary and the Shangri-Las own careers were relatively short. 

RIP.
