Saturday Music Post - Then He Kissed Me

"Then He Kissed Me" was written by Ellie Greenwich, Jeff Barry, and a despicable person whom I will not name. Omitting his many songs, as author or producer, would suppress the artistry of many who have done no wrong, including the Crystals, whose 1963 arrangement was by Jack Nitzsche with accompaniment by the Wrecking Crew. It was 493 on Rolling Stone's 2004 list of the greatest songs of all time, and number 8 on Billboard's 2017 list of the greatest girl group songs of all time. The Beach Boys later covered it as "Then I Kissed Her."

The clips are at The Faculty Lounge.
