The Shangri-Las find success with, “Leader Of The Pack"

Back in 1964, the 1960’s erupted with popular singing groups of girls such as “The Ronettes,” “Shondells,” and  “Crystals.”  "The Shangri-Las," scored a #1 hit with the famous hit, “Leader Of The Pack.” 

The lyrics of this song told a interesting story of from history.com “From its sweet beginnings in a candy store—"He turned around and smiled at me/You get the picture?"—the romance described in "Leader Of The Pack" between the song's protagonist and her leather jacket-wearing, motorcycle-riding boyfriend, Jimmy, quickly progresses in the face of strong disapproval from her parents—"They told me he was bad/But I knew he was sad." It was a song, in other words, perfectly calibrated to appeal to the romantic fantasies of America's teenage girls—fantasies that blended wholesome innocence with hints of danger, rebellion and darkly handsome boyfriends.”
