Other songs the brilliant Ellie wrote or composed her music and songs will forever be remembered. River Deep Mountain High, Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) Da Do Ron Ron, I Want You To Be My Baby, Leader Of The Pack, Chapel Of Love, Look Of Love, Sunshine After The Rain, I Can Hear Music, Do- Wah- Diddy, Today I Met The Boy I'm Going To Marry, Hanky Panky, Be My Baby, Baby I Love You, Walking In The Rain, Then He Kissed Me etc etc Ellie also sang backing vocals and vocal arrangements for other artist such as Frank Sinatra, Dusty Springfield, Blondie, Bobby Darin, ELO, Cindy Lauper, Lou Christie
What I thought were some of my favorite Beach Boys' songs turn out to be the songs of Ellie Greenwich. Until today I've never heard from her. Her fame apparently didn't make it to Switzerland. What a great discovery - (for me, I mean).
Ellie Greenwich "WAS THE 60s"!! How sad that our youth today missed out on the talents of this songstress...Our young ears of today are at the mercy of "hip-hop" and Lady Ga-Ga :-(
The music industry was so much better because of her. She helped boost the careers of so many, and had so, so, many 'magic touches' like this. Ellie was a ONer.
'Let it be written Let it be sung,' is one of my favorite albums which I first heard on Noel Edmonds Breakfast Show in the early 70's. It was such a pity she never liked to perform live because in the studio she was magic. Also had a couple of US hits performing as The Raindrops with' What a Guy' and 'The Kind of boy you cant forget.'
Ellie's Leader of the Pack musical is done in high schools all over the US, and outside the US as well. Not to mention the continued success of the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack. Ellie Greenwich's songbook continues to live worldwide, thankfully.
@jemb2000 who is singing this version of 'I Can Hear Music'? It's not Ellie Greenwich's version from 'Let it Be Written, Let it Be Sung' and I am having a hard time finding this version, so I am intrigued. Please can you let us know some more information, I notice a few people have asked. Thank you for posting! :-)
Is this version on this CD? I have the Ellie Greenwich collection which uses some tracks from her earlier albums, and the 'I Can Hear MUsic' on that is Ellie's 1970's re-working of it. I like this version that you use in your video, but it generally doesn't sound like Ellie singing (although some parts do...), although I know she was quite a vocal chameleon in the different styles and such that she sang. I would love to know which version this is, please.
I just learned of Ellie Greenwich from listening to the Beach Boys version on youtube. She was so talented!! May she RIP! th-cam.com/video/Qqyx4TW4Ptw/w-d-xo.html
One of my favorite songs - hearing this version or that of the late Carl Wilson moves me beyond words. RIP, Ellie.
I agree, she should be put on a postage stamp! She wrote many great songs in the '60's w/ Jeff Barry and on her own. It's long overdue!
The Ronettes need to have their own stamp also
This song is so pretty that no matter who records this, its a great song. A rarity when that happens. Thanks for posting.
I did not know. Wow!
Her version is kickass. I like her vocal swirls.

a too unoticed contributor to all the tunes we sang then in the 60's. You were truly the Leader of the Pack!
Great song
I couldn't even think of the 1960s without thinking of Ellie. Her musical contributions were so much an integral part of that decade. RIP, Ellie.
R.I.P Ellie we all miss you!

Ellie was truly a gifted angel.
She is dearly missed.

Ga Ga isn’t exactly bad…..she’s just no good.
I can hear your music Ellie this is one of my favorite songs

I agree with her on a postage stamp!! What a fantastic talented lady! Love all of her music!! Thanks Ellie! Love Ya
From Levittown, NY! I was too-until 1 year old but still...She was on Jim Croce's first two albums as well. What a gifted artist.

@@jemb2000 THANK YOU SO MUCH for replying, this is a lovely version but never heard it before your post!
I have an Ellie Greenwich CD with this song but not this version.
@bobbyb826 You can find it on Amazon. It was released on CD by Raven Records as a two-fer with her first album.

Well, she is holding a cigarette in that picture.
sadly it's true that smoking has killed some of the most talented people in music history - including George Harrison
This version is quite good but this is not Ellie Greenwich singing.
