香格里拉乐队主唱玛丽·韦斯去世，享年75岁

Mary Weiss, the lead singer of the Shangri-Las, has died, the BBC reports. She was 75.
据英国广播公司报道，香格里拉乐队主唱玛丽·韦斯去世。她享年75岁。

Miriam Linna, the founder of the pioneering girl group's record label, Norton Records, confirmed her death to the outlet, saying in a statement, "Mary was an icon, a hero, a heroine, to both young men and women of my generation and of all generations."
这个先锋女子组合的唱片公司诺顿唱片公司的创始人米里亚姆·林纳向媒体证实了她的死讯，她在一份声明中说，“玛丽是我们这一代以及所有世代的年轻男女的偶像、英雄、女英雄。”

Born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, Weiss formed a singing group — which later became the Shangri-Las — with her sister Elizabeth, a.k.a. "Betty," and twins Mary Ann and Marguerite “Marge” Ganser while they were students at Andrew Jackson High School in 1963. 
韦斯出生并成长在纽约皇后区，她和姐姐伊丽莎白组建了一个歌唱团体，后来成为了香格里拉-拉斯。1963年，双胞胎玛丽·安和玛格丽特·“玛姬”·甘瑟还在安德鲁·杰克逊高中读书。

Their performances at talent shows and nightclubs soon garnered the attention of record producer Artie Ripp, who signed them to his label, Kama Sutra, and brought the band into the studio that same year to record their very first song, “Simon Says.”
他们在选秀节目和夜总会的表演很快引起了唱片制作人Artie Ripp的注意，他将他们签下了自己的厂牌Kama Sutra，并在同一年将乐队带进录音室录制了他们的第一首歌《Simon Says》。

In 1964, they scored their first Billboard top 10 with their single “Remember (Walking in the Sand).” They would release a collection of hits that year, including “Give Him a Great Big Kiss” and “Maybe,” but their most popular was their chart-topping heartbreak anthem “Leader of the Pack.”
1964年，他们的单曲《Remember (Walking In the Sand)》首次进入公告牌前十。那一年，他们发行了一系列热门歌曲，包括《给他一个巨大的吻》和《也许》，但最受欢迎的是他们在排行榜上名列前茅的令人心碎的颂歌《Leader of the Pack》。

Reflective of the wave of teen-tragedy songs in the 1960s, “Leader of the Pack” told the story of a sullen girl whose parents force her to end things with her boyfriend only for him to later die in a motorcycle accident. Multiple artists have covered the track since its release, including Twisted Sister, and it was later featured in Martin Scorsese’s classic film Goodfellas. 
《Leader of the Pack》反映了20世纪60年代青少年悲剧歌曲的浪潮，讲述了一个闷闷不乐的女孩的故事，她的父母强迫她和男朋友分手，结果他后来死于一场摩托车事故。自这首歌发行以来，包括Twisted Sister在内的多位艺术家都曾翻唱过这首歌，后来这首歌还出现在马丁·斯科塞斯的经典电影《好家伙》中。

Over the course of their career, the Shangri-Las released just two albums — Leader of the Pack and The Shangri-Las '65! — before disbanding in 1968 amid legal troubles. At the height of their fame, the group performed with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and James Brown.
在他们的职业生涯中，香格里拉- las只发行了两张专辑——《Leader of the Pack》和《the Shangri-Las '65!》在1968年因法律纠纷解散之前。在他们名声最盛的时候，乐队曾与披头士、滚石乐队和詹姆斯·布朗一起演出。

Following their breakup, Weiss spent time in San Francisco before moving back to New York. Although the Shangri-Las would reunite for several performances in the 1970s and one final gig in 1989, Weiss largely stayed out of the spotlight until 2005, when she decided to pursue a solo career. Her debut album, Dangerous Games, was released in 2007. 
他们分手后，维斯在旧金山待了一段时间，然后搬回了纽约。尽管香格里拉乐队在20世纪70年代多次重聚，并在1989年举行了最后一场演出，但直到2005年她决定单飞之前，韦斯基本上都没有出现在聚光灯下。她的首张专辑《Dangerous Games》于2007年发行。

Over the years, Weiss also worked at an architectural firm, managed a furniture store, and was an interior designer.
多年来，韦斯还在一家建筑公司工作，管理过一家家具店，还是一名室内设计师。
