Bleachers' new release "Tiny Moves" is our featured song today. Lead singer and songwriter Jack Antonoff's wife, actress and dancer Margaret Qualley, also performs in the video.
Last week's passing of The Shangri-Las lead vocalist Mary Weiss at age 75 was another nudge for us about mortality and the ever-faster passage of time. As a teenager, Weiss, along with her older sister Betty and twins Mary Ann and Margie Ganser, sang songs of teenage angst and longing that were overtaken by the British invasion and changes in popular music in the 1960s. "Leader Of The Pack," "Remember (Walking In The Sand)," and "Give Him A Great Big Kiss" were three of their best known songs from that era. Here, in a worn video from 1965 when Weiss was 16, they perform "Right Now and Not Later" on ABC's "Shivaree" program.
