+geez louise I have just started listening to the Shangri Las. Mary's voice is full of teenage angst and emotion. It is no wonder that they achieved such popularity with teenagers.
Mary, if you are reading this, know that it may not have seemed like much at the time, but your work and your art lives on and on. We live looking forward, but we only understand what we do looking backward.
Just started following the history of the Shangri-las. It's a sad story of four teenagers taken advantage of by slimy producers and managers. There is absolutely no reason this song wasn't a number one hit. Their story is strikingly similar to the story of Badfinger. Great groups with sorry managers.
There is so much to like in this performance. The Shangri-Las dressed in short white boots, super-tight spangly pants and matching vests; go-go dancers on platforms behind them; and a really good song.
They were consider one of the more tough girl groups because of their stance, posture and outfits. I loved this about them. They weren’t bubblegum, chiffon ballgown- wearing conformists.
@@hotgritz4sho Many real surfers hated the Beach Boys when they first came on the scene, but I have a feeling that bikers would have loved hearing the Shangri-Las on the road house jukebox.
@@chambeet i don't understand why The Shangri-las or The Ronettes were not as famous as The Supremes, those two were too different to The common girl groups in 60's
@@amusic3092 Good question. Maybe the Motown songwriting machine of Holland-Dozier-Holland is what pushed the Supremes over into superstardom in a way that the other groups never quite matched.
I love them so much, I wish I were a Shangri-La. But alas and alec I was born in 64, and heard their songs in the womb and as a baby and toddler, and they were then and still are forever in my heart. I hope to do them justice when I sing their songs with my band! RIP twins and long live Mary and Betty!
The Girl Group had pretty much gone downhill. Them and The Ronettes took a backseat to the British Invasion. The only Girlband that continued was The Supremes.
All 4 women are gorgeous!!! I will never forget seeing them for the first time on tv when i was about 16. They sang a song called Long live Our Love minus Betty, but Mary and those two Ganser twins overwhelmed me!!! I REALIZED THEN I'd seen the most gorgeous group in a band as I will ever see!!!!! I've never seen a rock group as beautiful and SEXY AS THOSE 3 GIRLS in one band!!! SEXY is the scary word to describe those 3 ANGELS who just want to sing!!!!! Let Mary sing!!!!!!
Go Go Dancers and Mary Weiss...what a reason to hurry home after school to see them on TV. When she sings 'SHOUT'--it really makes ya wanna get up & dance!! Bobby Fuller was my favorite guy singer!! He brought the Buddy Holly great sound of the 50's into the Now of the 60's...Great memories!!
Hands Down "Best Damn Girl Group Ever" does not get any cooler! WAAAAAAY AHEAD OF THEIR TIME!!!! Awesome vocals!!!!! Todays groups, need notepad in hand!
Two sets of twins! From the same high school (Andrew Jackson) on Staten Island. They lived two streets away from each other ! when they would walk home from school they would pass a Chinese restaurant, called the Shangri-La Palace. They said the smell of the delicious food made them work hard harder, because their ultimate goal in life was to be able to go in the Shangri-La Palace, and sit down and have anything they wanted! A guy named shadow Morton was there producer. He said that he was out of gas and stuck by the bay front, hoping someone would stop as the night grew on. He took his suit off, and was resigned to go to sleep in his car. When he woke up, he had this sound in his ear of seagulls and waves crashing on the sand, and he knew he had to write a song! He went to school and found the girls in the lunch room on their study hall break and pitched the idea to them. Mary replied we have eight dollars to our fucking names! If you can take that, and make history by all means shadow , lead the way! He went to the library and collected some soundtracks from a video from the national geographic program. He recorded seagulls and waves crashing. He had everything he needed except a motorcycle. They had a date set for the recording. They found a guy driving a Harley Davidson in Brooklyn, and he agreed to drive over to the city and sneak the motorcycle into the studio! He said he needed three dollars to fill up his tank and the address of the place which happened to be the Roosevelt Hotel because the record company had a recording studio there. When he got there, security refused to let him bring this big motorcycle into the hotel lobby. They only have a two track recorder! They definitely needed a motorcycle for the leader of the pack. They had everything else they needed for walking in the sand and two other records that flopped time was running out because they were only given 30 minutes with a 30 minute extension if necessary to cut all four of the songs. Shadow went outside to have a cigarette and think there was a pawnshop next-door and he made a deal to rent a lawnmower for 15 minutes for two dollars. He brought the lawnmower in and that’s what they used for a mighty motorcycle engine! He was a pretty good engineer for someone who never had any experience! By the end of the night they had mixed and recorded the version that you hear of leader of the pack, and what started out to be called walking in the sand, but I believe they changed the title. Mary was the last one to pass away, and she just died a few weeks ago after the group split up Mary was a successful, corporate office furniture designer. When the girls got to be of age, they got legal right to have all of their contracts revealed to them. All four of the girls were paid less than 4% total! Monies that were supposed to be held in escrow for when they turned 21 never existed. You can find a story on 2020 in reference to a guy name Dick, Fox, and the way he and several other long nosed men, robbed these teenage girls !
Most of the comments seem to be about their looks, but Mary's VOICE was what gave them their unique sound! Although only teenagers, no one sounded like them, and those Weiss sisters were beauties!
I knew the shangri las, was in love with Mary ann Ganser, in 63. I was 10, she was 15, she came to my house during the summer. I am old now, but still remember everything....I was in love with her till she died in 70. still think about her today.
the Reigning Sound are a top level band of the 00's on their own merits...for those geezers who think rock and roll died, Greg (guitar/vox/shades) wrote all these songs, though this one already existed, for her to sing and coax her out of retirement.
what a trip to have seen them at that time or to have hung out with them, to think these were real people one could have seen walking down the street heading to the studio or the candy store...they probably would have been smoking cigs and talking in that accent...wild clothes and tall hair. Wow.
@Starclear They don't really suit being lumped into that 1960's "Girl Group" genre, I think. They bear no similarities to groups like the the Supremes, Ronettes, Crystals, Chiffons, et al. They were just a 60s rock/pop band who's members happened to be comprised of females. No?
It's true. The way they're dressed was considered Scandalous in the 60s. But this is what made them such a hit. They were pretty, sexy in the way they dressed and moved on the stage, and they sounded good. That was rare in the 60s. Most female singers weren't so Hot.
WOW im not from this music era but my parents were and my mom was the same age as Mary during this time and I grew up to this music and it is bad ass and talent like that should always be appericated!!
If you think this should have been rated higher then listen to "out in the street". Personally, I think it is the best song they ever did and it only came in at #53. You had to be British to chart back then.
Did you really know them? Mary ann came to my house in queens in 63, with my babysitter shelly.. several times during summer. I was 10, she was 15. we played monopoly and she made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Didn't even know who she was until she was singing in the mirror with my babysitter. Shangri-las! I met all of them at a performance in NYC. they signed my album and pictures. Mary ann died when I was in high school. I had to go home early from class cause I felt so sad.
Mary Weiss and her sister Betty were as beautiful as a woman could be! But so was Marge and Mary Ann Ganser the twin sisters! These 4 Angels were the best looking and sexiest rock n roll band of all times!!!!! I remember how the 3 (no Betty) girls thrilled me one summer late Saturday afternoon on the Upbeat show on TV in Cleveland from 5 pm to 6 pm. I was overwhelmed by how sexy they were!!!!!! They became my hero's then! Oh yes, they made GREAT music too!
Oh my God these girls were so good and so ahead of their time in a lot of ways. This song for example has a Motown song from the late 60s but yet it's from the early 60s just amazing music and I love your style.
I was never into these ladies as a kid, but now I can appreciate Mary's voice and the distinct style. I actually thought that they were a black group when I was younger. They've so much soul.
Great girl group. Great producers ! Mary had that very fantastic voice !!!!! I think that Betty was not really into it (not being the main singer). The twins always seemed to hang in there and they were always awesome. LOVE this group ! Marianne
I love Mary Weiss, she is in my top 15 all time female singers in the rock era. She is a whole lot better than the female singers today. LOVE YOU MARY.
i love this video...one of the few that shows all 4 members (betty was a part time member). And it shows--betty was a step behind in the dancing and singing. Very cool--makes it seem real to those of us that never got to see them in life.
If I was on my death bed and I had one wish. It would be that I could see and talk to Betty Weiss for 30 minutes. Talking and looking at her I could leave the world HAPPY!!!
It's a good thing for Diana Ross that Berry Gordy of Motown did not meet Mary Weiss first...because you know whom he would have given the upmost attention and turned into a huge star. That girl needed someone like Gordy to take her from the 60s to the 70s, 80s, 90s bigger and bigger fame. She had all that it took to be a bigger star. HOT!
Count me in on Betty!!! Google her (Betty Weiss) and check her out her IMAGES on there today (with her daughter). Betty is something. And her daughter looks like a teen TV star. You might always key in "A Thousand Stars" on here (RUclips) and check out Kathy Young. She aged pretty well too!
Hope you people are aware that Mary Weiss just finished off her new lp (to be released in Springtime 2007 on Norton records)! She is backed by The Reigning Sound!!Rumors in garage circles are that it's gonna be mindblowing!!! I cannot wait!!!!
I agree with you azgrooveguy! I have watched this over and over and love it when Margie is taken by surprise at the girl screaming. Her facial expression after the scream is priceless. I love this video and I think Margie is the best dancer in the group. I wish I could have known the Gansers personally. I bet those girls were a riot to hang out with!
The band now is pretty much known as one of the best girl groups of the 60's.
+geez louise I have just started listening to the Shangri Las. Mary's voice is full of teenage angst and emotion. It is no wonder that they achieved such popularity with teenagers.
Yes! They and The Ronettes were a major influence on Amy Winehouse. Then someone samples "Remember Walking In The Sand".
RIP Mary, you were amazing. Thank you!
This is one of their best songs. Nice to see all four of them. Mary's sister Betty is the last surviving La
I dig the classic mid-sixties arm-whip dance movement.
I just finished reading two obituaries about Mary Weiss.
The days and times were changing and so was music. Rest and dream Mary love. Miss you....but can hear you anytime.
Mary, if you are reading this, know that it may not have seemed like much at the time, but your work and your art lives on and on. We live looking forward, but we only understand what we do looking backward.
She never replied to you, so I don't think she read your comment.

Mary Weiss was a beautiful young Lady. I loved to hear the Shangri LA'S all the Girls was cute.
and very old
Too bad one of the original members died in 1970 of a do!

RIP Mary Weiss
I play this song at least once a day. Love it! Who cares who was "homely" - it's about the MUSIC. These girls were terrific.
Are you still alive?
I love their choreograph moves and those skin tight outfits - amazing!!!!!!!!
No ice cream sodas for them. Nice song.
Anytime I want to increase my serotonin and dopamine I come to watch these great girls.
Why didn't these lovely ladies win a Grammy? LOVE this music! Give me old school ANY DAY!!!
GREAT SONG/GRP/LEAD TYVM. AS A TEENAGER WAS IN LOVE MARY!
4 great singers. They are very good looking young women,
The Bad girls of Rock & Roll were just so awesome.
Betty is a Natural beauty. This song had the potential of being a top 20 hit. I wonder why it never went anywhere.
It was popular in my market in Minneapolis. Used to hear it a lot on the radio. Was shocked it was only 99th nationally.
The Girl Group had pretty much gone downhill. Them and The Ronettes took a backseat to the British Invasion. The only Girlband that continued was The Supremes.

My friend who was in a band got to play with the shangri-las when they came to our town
This could be a hit now - by the right artist and brought to a modern arrangement.
This has definitely a Motown groove to it.
Yeah, but it doesn't have the Motown simplicity.
It was produced by Robert Bateman, who had been with Motown.
Glad to have found The Shangi-Las later in life. They were more than just another teen, girl group.
they sang very good. I really miss those days. also loved the way the girls danced.!!
Mary Weiss . . . was every teenage boy's dream girl . . . and I was one of them. Ooooh baby!
Brilliant pop song & the girls are just too cool for words.
Mary's hair was goals in 1965.
The girl groups of the 60's were fantastic. They were pretty too !
The more that I listen to these gals, the more that I love them. This is a nice change from their usual song style (which I love). 👏🏻
HOT! Oh Mary marry me now please. What a great sound, you can see the influence even now all these years later. Timeless...
This lady's group reminds me of a transformation between the 50s and the 60s.
I'm singing this marvelous song at a block party in Teaneck NJ this Sunday, for Mary, Mary Ann, Betty and Marge. RIP twins!!!
These girls were totally unique. Hated their songs as a kid, feel in love with them as an adult. They are well represented on my ipod.
They were amazing. KInda punk - but real pop with some kickin' beat. Like this one.
They were involved in the punk CBGB crowd. Planned on getting back together but…..
By this time the Motown influence was really starting to manifest.
what a trip to have seen them at that time or to have hung out with them, to think these were real people one could have seen walking down the street heading to the studio or the candy store...they probably would have been smoking cigs and talking in that accent...wild clothes and tall hair. Wow.
The best girl group by far of the 1960's . I love them.

WOW im not from this music era but my parents were and my mom was the same age as Mary during this time and I grew up to this music and it is bad ass and talent like that should always be appericated!!
Why this song wasn't a Top 10 hit is a mystery to me. It's great in every way!
Mucho agreements!
You might think so because what was mediocre then was better than what's mediocre now.
It didn't get airplay..at least in Los Angeles.
It's #1 in my brain 'right now '.😊
If you think this should have been rated higher then listen to "out in the street". Personally, I think it is the best song they ever did and it only came in at #53. You had to be British to chart back then.
I knew these girls real well and I can tell you they were a lot of fun and always had a real good time.
Did you really know them? Mary ann came to my house in queens in 63, with my babysitter shelly.. several times during summer.

I was never into these ladies as a kid, but now I can appreciate Mary's voice and the distinct style. I actually thought that they were a black group when I was younger. They've so much soul.
So did James Brown, and another artist, I think Quincy Jones, until they met them. They toured with the Beatles as well.
The Shang's were brill - along with the Ronettes they were the best of the Girl Groups, love this Motown inspired offering !
you're right,it is a good song. i never even heard it before today.
Shangri-Las RULE! QUEENS, NYC!! 🗽🌎
The most under rated girl group of the Sixties ….. & in my opinion the very best.
Great girl group. Great producers ! Mary had that very fantastic voice !!!!! I think that Betty was not really into it (not being the main singer). The twins always seemed to hang in there and they were always awesome.
LOVE this group ! Marianne
Lords Damn.. those leather outfits.. meeeyowww
Maryann's fits the best for these eyes..
I love the twins, Margie & MaryAnn Ganser; they look so happy! They're cute too :))
I knew Mary ann Ganser personally I was 10, she was 15 , and I loved her in 1963.
This is my favorite Shang song!
This was the Shangri-la's best. True.
My favorite Shangri-Las song too.
rare appearance of all four girls - definite Motown influence on this track.
This tune sounds as if they were trying to capture a Motown-style sound - it only made it to number 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1965-
When girls looks awesome, sang excellent, and beautiful
And without the 'help' of tattoos..
beautiful the music and the ladies ah just magic
I love it. I'd not heard this one before. For me, this should have been a number one hit.
They were so underrated.
Not really they were pretty famous back in the day.
there's a short little instrumental hook in this song that is lifted right out of "back in my arms again", released a few months earlier.
She was a Beauty Love Her
I agree about the movie. Think it would be great. And what a soundtrack it would have!
We need the Shangri-La’s in full colour HD
Don't know why but this is one of my favorite songs. Like the tune and, of course, the singing.
I love Mary Weiss, she is in my top 15 all time female singers in the rock era. She is a whole lot better than the female singers today. LOVE YOU MARY.
Excellent.
I love Betty! Wow! What a cutie!
Mary Weiss - truly awesome.
