    I'm somewhat binge-viewing everything about dear Mary Weiss and the amazing Shangri-Las at the moment, only having learned about her passing some weeks ago. I was 17 when she was 15, and her songs didn't really register with me at the time they came out. My excuse being that the Beatles and the Stones were knocking out hit after early hit in the U.K. (where I live). But I rediscovered them years ago. I think that all the girls were amazing, lovely characters, and Mary's voice really gets to you. Her voice hangs in the air, really touches you, haunts you, but satisfies you at a deep level. I just now, before this vid, saw an interview, sometime in the 2000s, where she says that she had enough pain in her to be able to convey any emotion in her singing, and it provided a release for her she couldn't get any other way, where people wouldn't give her strange looks. That's so poignant, as is her wonderful singing, which sometimes seems like silver transmuted into sound. May God bless her and give her peace.

But, by the end of the commercial I did not understand what Mary meant when she said, "And you know, all Natural Wonder make-up is medicated even when it isn't." Any insights to what that was supposed to mean, would be appreciated.

    You did a good job with a brief rundown of their first stages of the Bee Gees phenominal career. I know that you have time limitations, so you covered the high-lights rather well. Their career was huge. They were incredibly talented and extremely prolific song writers. Their career spanned over 5 decades. It would take hours and hours to cover just how amazing they were. I enjoyed your presentation very much. Oh and don't feel too bad about mispronouncing Maurice's name. I read one time that people said it wrong so many times he finally stopped correcting people. Then I saw them being interviewed by a British guy who said his name the way that his parents, and everyone in Europe said it, pronounced as Morris. So he asked Mo "why do people call you Maurice"? (the same way that you said it) and Mo said to the guy "because that's my name!" Lol 😅 😂 I will forever love everything Bee Gees. 💕💕💕

    Jagger said he really liked Robin's version of "Out of time". He just turned 17 in the video. They were supporting their family way before '67. During their first TV appearance in 1960 they were @10 and 13 respectively. "Spicks and Specks" was #1 in NZ and #3 in Oz. During the split in 1969 Robin had a #2 hit (Saved by the bell) and Maurice and Barry had a #2 hit (Don't forget to remember). Sad that their overexposure during "disco" wiped out their post "disco" career. Their so called disco era was far superior to their contemporaries like KC and the Sunshine Band (5 minutes of "that's the way I like it, uh huh uh huh") and Donna Summers (10 minutes of "Love to love you baby"). They wrote for other acts in their 3rd career and ironically those songs were hits for them when they could't get airplay themselves. They did great stuff from 1980 onward and it was largely ignored. They had more than 2 careers, the 60's, 70's , then songwriting for others and their own revival in the late 80's. A nice summary. 👍
