The Shangri-Las: A Conversation with DRESSED IN BLACK author Lisa MacKinney
On this episode of the Long Island Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame Podcast, historian and author Lisa MacKinney joins host Tom Needham to talk about her new book, Dressed in Black.
The first full-length history of the Shangri-Las, the book tells the story of how a group of Queens schoolgirls became 1960s pop legends with hits like “Leader of the Pack” and “Remember (Walking in the Sand).”
MacKinney’s meticulous research uncovers the real story behind the group’s meteoric rise and the forces that ultimately cut their careers short.
She challenges long-standing myths and restores the Shangri-Las to their rightful place in American music history.
It’s a fascinating conversation about one of pop’s most influential yet misunderstood groups.
