DieselDaisy Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Queens? They all have thick New York accents which is one of the reasons that set The Shangri-Las from the other, more demure, girl groups of that era. One of the distinctive aspects of their music is the talking so this is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Queens? They all have thick New York accents which is one of the reasons that set The Shangri-Las from the other, more demure, girl groups of that era. One of the distinctive aspects of their music is the talking so this is important. Specifically Jamaica Queens. Shangri La's always felt more coarse and common than your Ronettes. The talking, the sound effects, there was a distinctly urban feel to it all too. Big influence on some of the very early NY punks too like New York Dolls, Ramones etc. Johnny Thunders as well as The Dolls did a great cover of Great Big Kiss, its why in The Spaghetti Incident in his Thunders tribute Duff is found saying 'hey Johnny what colour are her eyes?' In the Thunders version he goes 'i dunno, shes always wearing shades!' I got my first Shangri La's album on cassette in a church fete.

DieselDaisy Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I was attempting to find rare Shangri-Las' tracks and it was disappointing to note that they ended their career in two inept hippy singles in 1967, for Mercury records. They were subsequently dropped and broke up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
