Various - Greenwich, Ellie and Jeff Barry - Do Wah Diddy

greenwich and barry are often overlooked when people talk about classic songwriters - unfairly so. although they wrote together for just three or four years, you'd need a box set to contain all the hit songs of ellie greenwich and jeff barry. this collection contains famous tracks by the shangri-las, the jelly beans, the dixie cups, the butterflys, lesley gore, the chiffons, the drifters and the beach boys; the first released versions of 'do-wah-diddy' and 'hanky panky' (from before the manfreds and tommy james got their hands on the songs); plus new-to-cd collectables from the darlettes, karen verros, the fleetwoods, the majors and tony pass. and that's just for starters - a fantastic collection.
