THE COCKTAIL SLIPPERS COVER ELLIE GREENWICH


This is the third video from one of my favorite albums of 2009, The Cocktail Slippers' Saint Valentine's Day Massacre. It's my job to expose more people to this awesome, awesome band. Not my job, but my responsibility. This is a song written by the late Ellie Greenwich, one of the greats of the Brill Building era. She is getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year in the "non-performer" category. Little Steven will be at the ceremony, to present The Hollies. Maybe he can hook it up so that the Slippers can perform a tribute to Ellie.

ELLIE GREENWICH 1940 - 2009

You don't have to be famous to make an impact. Rest in peace, Ellie Greenwich (I got the image here from a post from Little Steven, a guy who certainly appreciates her incredible songwriting abilities).
