In Sunday's Review Journal, Mike Weatherford wrote: Mary Kaye, who blazed dual trails as an early female electric guitarist and pioneer of the swingin' 1950s Vegas lounge scene, died Saturday in Las Vegas of heart and respiratory failure after years of declining health. She was 83. With her brother Norman Kaye and late comedian Frank Ross, she was part of the Mary Kaye Trio, the first group to make the casino lounge a focal point of Las Vegas entertainment. The trio began working the casinos in the late 1940s and remained a major draw until they broke up in 1966.�Full story can be found HERE Read more from Mike Weatherford HERE |
