Dave Marsh once wrote of "Chapel of Love" that it was the absolute best argument he'd ever heard in pop or rock for giving up the single life and gettin' hitched. Even if the marriage between the song's two composers wasn't destined to last, sadly.

RIP, Ms. Greenwich. You wrote some great ones, and you produced the best music Neil Diamond ever made.

She and Jeff Barry [as the Raindrops] had a hit single “{He’s} The Kind of Boy You Can’t Forget”. She sang lead. Very talented lady.

I think she was one of the many Brill Building writers.Lots of great stuff came from her and others from that building just off of Times Square.

I'm sad to hear this. Thank you for all the memories, Ellie. Prayers for her family.
