Genre: Pop
Places I remember: Second hand shop in Turakina (between Bulls and Palmerston North)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Medley: Goodnight Baby-Baby I Love You
Gear costume: I Can Hear Music
Active compensatory factors: Ellie is, of course, a famous writer of classic pop songs with her partner Jeff Barry.

Among the songs she wrote or co-wrote Da Doo Ron Ron, Be My Baby, Maybe I Know, Then He Kissed Me, Do Wah Diddy Diddy, Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), Hanky Panky, Chapel of Love, Leader of the Pack, and River Deep – Mountain High, among others.
Yes, we're in genius territory, plain and simple.
As a singer? She's fair to middling, with a pleasant voice but it's not a commanding voice (like say, Carole King's).
This album has her versions of songs she wrote with Barry and others. It's always lovely and while I still can't not hear the original vocalists (I Can Hear Music is The Beach Boys!) I still can enjoy the warmth and genuine quality of these songs.
Where do they all belong? A worthy addition (rubbish cover though from MGM).
