Shirley Ellis - Sugar, Lets Shing-A-Ling '1967

Tracks list

New York vocalist and composer Shirley Ellis was in the Metronomes before
earning fame as co-composer and performer of some enjoyable soul novelty tunes
in the mid-60s. These included the Top Ten R&B hits The Nitty Gritty and The
Name Game. The Name Game was co-written with her manager and husband Lincoln
Chase, and peaked at number four R&B and number three pop in 1965. She and Chase
also collaborated on the follow-up, The Clapping Song (Clap Pat Clap Slap),
which reached number 16 R&B, but also represented the end of the creative line
for the trend. Ellis landed one final moderately successful, more conventional
soul tune two years later, Soul Time. All except Soul Time were recorded for
Congress; she had moved to Columbia by 1967, when Soul Time was issued.
