THE SHANGRI-LAS came to the attention of record producer George "Shadow" Morton, who arranged for a contract with the newly formed Red Bird label. Morton wrote and produced
"Remember (Walkin' In The Sand)", a record that quickly established the group by climbing to the National Top 5. He next employed the writing services of Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry to supply a follow up. Greenwich and Barry provided several hits for The Ronettes, The Crystals, Lesley Gore, and others. Their contribution was
"Leader of the Pack", an instant classic that went straight to #1 and stayed there for many weeks. They had several additional hits like
"Give Him A Great Big Kiss", "Out In The Streets", "I Can Never Go Home
Anymore", and many others.
Today, THE SHANGRI-LAS tour the country on the concert circuit, having performed at Madison Square Garden and Carnegie Hall in New York City, McCormick Place in Chicago, Greek Theater in Los Angeles in addition to all the major casinos throughout the country, including many appearances in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. The girls most
recently performed with Joan Rivers at The Tropicana Hotel in Atlantic City. In addition to performing with Joan many times, they have also starred with Jackie Mason, Dion and Frankie Valli, to name a few.
THE SHANGRI-LAS are by far one of the most exciting, talented and sexiest groups performing today.
