"Shangri-Las Lead Singer Mary Weiss Passes Away at 75"

Mary Weiss, the lead singer of 1960s pop group the Shangri-Las, known for hits like "Leader of the Pack," has passed away at 75. The group, with a tough, working-class image, found success with drama-filled songs of teen dreams and heartbreak. After the group disbanded in 1968, Weiss took a four-decade break from music before making a solo debut with the 2007 album "Dangerous Game," recapturing the spirit of the Shangri-Las from a more adult perspective.
