"Pretty Ballerina" #15 2/25/1967

The followup to "Walk Away ReneƩ" was the second and last hit for the Left Banke. Like their first single, keyboardist Michael Brown wrote this about the girlfriend of the band's guitar player. Can we say "awkward?" And like their first single, it contained an intricate pseudo-classical arrangement, in a style that came to be called baroque pop.
