Page "The Shangri-Las" Paragraph 3

The Shangri-Las were imitated by groups like The Nu-Luvs, who had a hit with " So Soft, So Warm ", which was originally recorded by The Shangri-Las as " Dressed In Black " and used as the b-side to Jay and the Americans ' original, " He Cried ".

Others included the Pussycats and the Whyte Boots, who scored big with their single " Nightmare ", originally intended for The Shangri-las, and written, produced and performed by Lori Burton and Pam Sawyer.

The Goodees had a hit in early 1969 with " Condition Red ", a " Leader of the Pack " inspired tale about a girl who wants to be with her long haired, bearded boyfriend despite her parents ' objections.
