Shadow Morton, 71, Producer, Songwriter, Leader of The Pack
"Possessed of a brazen, naïve genius -- he played no instrument, could not read music and wrote his songs in his head -- Mr. Morton was almost single-handedly responsible for the wild success of the Shangri-Las, the Queens girl group he introduced and propelled to international stardom."
