I love how the lead singer always seems so...grumpy. Seriously, I do. She's cranky but cute.

Not so much grumpy as the tortured teen look, I think.

'The lead singer?" That's the immortal Mary Weiss! To me she's up there with Nico, Vashti, Joni, and Dusty. Thanks for posting this.

You have no idea how long I have looked for some film of the Shangri-Las (well 10 years on the net actually). Thanks a lot for this clip! Mary was a babe (I hate that term), and the group were fantastic. Last I heard of Mary Weiss was that she was working (or owned) a furniture store in US, that was back in 80's. I hope she is happy and in good health

Man, Thanks for this video ! Shangri las are the best of the 60s and the lovely Mary Weiss is the queen of the "spoken songs" : just listen "Past Present Futur" or the beautiful "Dress in Black"... This Voice is perfect !
I love you Mary !
