La cantante y compositora de soul y pop Shirley Ellis, nacida Shirley Marie O'Garra el 19 de enero de 1929 en The Bronk, Nueva York, es conocida por sus éxitos "The Nitty Gritty" (1963), "The Name Game" (1964) y "The Clapping Song" (1965). Contratada por Congress Records, Shirley Ellis alcanzó el éxito con su primer sencillo, "The Nitty Gritty ", de 1963, que llegó al número 8 de la lista Hot 100 y al número 4 de la lista R&B Singles. Sin embargo, la continuación de la canción, "(That's) What the Nitty Gritty Is" (1964) llegó al Top 100, pero no alcanzó el éxito de la original. En 1964 lanzó otros dos sencillos, "Shy One" y "Such a Night ", antes de anotarse otro éxito masivo a finales de ese año con "The Name Game", que alcanzó el número 3. La canción, escrita por Shirley Shirley, se convirtió en un éxito rotundo. La canción, escrita por Shirley Ellis, se basaba en un juego de nombres al que jugaba de niña, y el lugar de la canción en la cultura pop ha hecho que los niños sigan jugando a este mismo juego más de seis décadas después de su lanzamiento. En 1965, lanzó el sencillo "The Clapping Song (Clap Pat Clap Slap)", que alcanzó el número 8 de la lista. La canción ha sido versionada varias veces, incluyendo versiones de Gary Glitter, The Belle Stars, Roger Taylor y otros. Shirley Ellis siguió lanzando singles como "The Puzzle Song (A Puzzle in Song)" (1965), "Ever See a Diver Kiss His Wife While the Bubbles Bounce About Above the Water?" (¿Alguna vez has visto a un submarinista besar a su mujer mientras las burbujas rebotan sobre el agua? (1966) y "Sugar, Let's Shing-a-Ling" (1967), pero su época de éxitos había quedado atrás. A lo largo de su carrera publicó tres álbumes: In Action (1964), The Name Game (1965) y Sugar, Let's Shing-a-Ling (1967), y a lo largo de los años se han publicado varias recopilaciones. Shirley Ellis falleció el 5 de octubre de 2005, a la edad de 76 años.
