Ellie Greenwich

At what point did you start paying attention to writer's credits when looking at an album. For me it probably wasn't until the 80's. Up 'til then I was more interested in the artist. The death of Ellie Greenwich should make us all think about who's writing our hit songs. She has a lot writing credits that fill up my Ipod.
Greenwich isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but she should be. She's in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. But writers like her who made AM radio a glorious place to be in the 60's deserve as many accolades as we can give her.
Here's a link to her songs:
