Shirley ellis

It was not always about who sang with more soul...Shirley Ellis always had great producers, interesting songs and terrific musicians. Rarely was she boring!

Here is a recently posted clip of her performing THE NAME GAME on Merv Griffin's show.

She had a top 10 hit in the UK in the 60s with The Clapping Song. Great track, although having grown up with The Belle Stars version that was a UK hit in '82 I am torn with which is better.

I've wondered for years...WHERE IS Shirley Ellis??

Mojo I have been wondering the same thing. Clapping Song and The Name Game dont do her justice she is a really good singer if you have heard some of her other songs. I love this Merv Griffin clip and seeing her do Tallulah Bankheads name......LOL Thanks for this clip.
