They were together only five years, but within that time they subverted pop standards and foreshadowed a generation of tough women in music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCritically, they are not lauded in the way of the Ronettes, and they are certainly not a household name like the Supremes. They were a little too low-brow with an uncouth flair for theatrics that has placed them just left of the girl-group canon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the still-elusive validation of 1960s girl-groups as a whole, but also paradoxically aims to free the Shangri-Las from that category, viewing them instead with the sort of individuality traditionally afforded to rock groups. They were somehow able to challenge the status quo under the guise of sticky-sweet pop, a feat not many pop groups can achieve, but which they do fleetingly but not insubstantially in \u003ci\u003eGolden Hits of the Shangri-Las\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471828500716,"sku":"9781501331749","price":21.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/ef5aefb82e37379dad0a0e33aec902bc.jpg?v=1775694163"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/ada-wolin.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
