Crayons To Perfume Girl of the Week Is Shirley Ellis, now lets play the NAME GAME!!!

Shirley!
Shirley, Shirley bo Birley Bonana fanna fo Firley
Fee fy mo Mirley, Shirley!

Shirley Ellis started off singing in a band called the Metronomes in the 50's, but it wasn't until the 60's that she found her place in the pop charts with a string of hit songs. She wrote mainly rock 'n roll, but also loved to sing jazz, pop and soul. Here's a Sugar, Let's Shing-A-Ling, a kind of unique song for Shirley. It's a bit funkier than most of her other music.



Along with Shirley's fine hits, there's a great group of songs all with names in the title, so lets get started with Crayons To Perfume 12, and the name game!
