Dead Page: Song-Wrter Supreme

ELLIE GREENWICH Oct. 23, 1940- August 26, 2009

While on our road trip, I was sorry to find out of the death of this prolific songwriter, producer, and, even singer. What she created by herself and other partners is a list of some of my all-time favorite songs.

She discovered Neil Diamond and co-wrote many of these with husband Jeff Barry.

Here's just a partial list:

Be My Baby
Da Doo Ron Ron
Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
Leader of the Pack
River Deep, Mountain High
Baby, I Love You
Chapel of Love
Do Wah Diddy Diddy
Hanky Panky
I Can Hear Music
Look of Love

She'll be missed.
