This RIP thing is getting depressing, so I'll keep it short. Reading about the death of Ellie Greenwood today, I knew that she'd written a fair number of 60's hits but I never realised just how many. Let's face it, she'd have gone down in history if she'd only ever written River Deep Mountain High, but she penned so many transcendent pop songs it's untrue. Phil Spector's Wall of Sound would never have been built without her, and the history of popular music would've been very different indeed.
