Whoever gives the induction speech for the Shangri-Las better mention the fact that they are the first all-white female group to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 08/24/2016 @ 21:43pm |

There is a problem with the Shangri-las and it is the same problem with many girl bands of the 50's and 60's. In many cases on the records we still hear--it is not them singing but some of the girls who appeared in the Doc 20 feet from the spot light. While many times Mary Weiss was put into the studio to do some over dubbing. And for some rock and roll purist there is still the debate on the fact they lip synced a lot when they performed live and for about two years you had a fake band on tour under the name after the sisters split amongst law suits and other fun stuff. The Shangri Las are a two hit wonder band and I do not think they should be on the same list as Kate Bush, Dolly Parton or Whitney Houston. And lets not forget that they were a creation of Brill Building machine. Posted by jumptheshark on Friday, 04/20/2018 @ 17:01pm |
The Shangri-Las are one of the best and one of the most iconic of girl groups; an important and too often over looked genre of rock music. Posted by Mark on Tuesday, 04/24/2018 @ 12:30pm |
They were the Molly Vanilli of their time, so NOT happening! #noonecares Posted by KXB on Tuesday, 04/24/2018 @ 13:41pm |

Nobody sang on Shangri-Las records except for the Shangri-Las. Producer George Morton confirmed this, along with Mary Weiss herself during a long interview conducted by the founders of Norton Records. Posted by Chris on Wednesday, 05/9/2018 @ 21:58pm |

Thanks, Mark. For some reason, self-styled "critics" seem to have an influence over such decisions, even though they don't create music. This can be good or bad, I guess, considering that Greil Marcus has recently argued, in the "Ask Greil" column on his website, that no "Hall of Fame argument has merit when Joan Jett...is in, and the Shangri-Las are not."

The name of this website is actually comical. Many of the artists featured here, including (of course) the Shangri-Las, are already rock legends. The title "Future Rock Legends" suggests that recording artists aren't legendary until they're in the Hall of Fame at some future point, which is of course a ridiculous idea.

Understood, Steve. Thanks for the explanation. Posted by Freddy on Friday, 08/17/2018 @ 03:26am |

If the Shamgri-Las are not in the RRHOF it's a travesty. I am a pioneer of Hip Hop (Afrika Bambaataa and Soulsonic Force) and how could you put GM Flash & The Furious 5 (close personal friends of mine) and others ahead of them?? Posted by Cholly Rock on Sunday, 05/28/2023 @ 12:17pm |
Rest in Peace Mary Weiss, 1948-2024. Posted by Joe S. on Friday, 01/19/2024 @ 21:31pm |
