"Footsteps On The Roof" by The Shangri-Las

New York girl group The Shangri-Las got off to a hot start in 1964 with a pair of out-of-the-box hits. The brooding "Remember (Walkin' In The Sand)" reached #5 (Aerosmith took it to #67 in 1980) and the classic "Leader Of The Pack" gave them their one and only #1. The latter is a R&R Hall of Fame single.

The group scored some other minor hits but returned to the Top 10 in 1965 with "I Can Never Go Home Anymore" (#6). By 1966 they would see their final chart appearance when "Past, Present, and Future" stalled at #59.

"Footsteps On The Roof" is another gem from this talented group that didn't see any chart action, but remains one of their finest moments to my ears.
