Link fixed. AoS.
Ellie Greenwich, who has died aged 68, co-wrote some of the most enduring pop songs of the 1960s and collaborated with the "Wall of Sound" producer Phil Spector on such classics as Da Doo Ron Ron, Be My Baby (both 1963), and River Deep -- Mountain High (1966).

In 2004 Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time included six by Ellie Greenwich and her husband and writing partner, Jeff Barry -- more than by any other songwriting team. They had 17 singles in the pop charts of 1964, surpassed only by John Lennon and Paul McCartney of the Beatles and the Americans Holland, Dozier and Holland.

Other hits included: Chapel of Love, Leader of the Pack, This is It, What a Guy, The Kind of Boy You Can't Forget, Cherry Cherry, Kentucky Woman, Baby I Love You, The Look of Love, Then He Kissed Me, You Don't Know, and many others.
