Heavenly Songs

Henry Ayrton looks through another page of the Greenwich and Barry songbook - this week featuring music by The Shangri-Las and The Dixie Cups. Plus music from November 1959.

Heavenly: songs with a celestial feeling from the likes of Eddie Cochran, Jackie DeShannon, and Ral Donner

The Greenwich And Barry Songbook (Volume Two): The Dixie Cups, The Shangri-Las, and Ellie Greenwich herself will be among those turning the pages

Dave Bartholomew: the third part of a salute to one of the founding fathers of rock ’n’ roll with Fats Domino, The Spiders, and Smiley Lewis with some of his songs and productions

And Adam Faith and Emile Ford will head a pretty slim list of the British Top Twenty Newcomers of November 1959. Expect some bonus tracks.
