The Shangri-Las, two sets of sisters from Queens, New York, were in high school when producer Morton hired them to record "Remember" -- a tune he claimed to have written in twenty minutes on the way to the studio. Legend has it that a fifteen-year-old Billy Joel played piano on the session. Morton went on to produce the New York Dolls.
