Mary Weiss (28 Dec 1948 - 19 Jan 2024) has passed on, age 75. Her sister, Elizabeth "Betty" Weiss (lead singer on "Leader of the Pack") is the last living Shangri-La...
I remember as a little girl when this song by the Shangri las came out I wanted to grow up and look like Betty. (the tall girl, 3rd on the left with long brown hair.) That didn't happen.🤐
I think the hats are historic, "Three Cornered" or something like that? I'll have to look it up in my third or fourth grade history lesson school books from the mid-sixties?
This looks like a moment of insanity from the 1960's. But I was mesmerised by this little bit of social history. And the girl on the left was bloody gorgeous. She somehow seemed more modern looking in her appearance.
soadfan33 You should stay in 2019 mate. 2020 is not going too smoothly,far from it In fact.if you can,go back to the era in the video,hopefully I will be there
@soadfan33 - I just found these TH-cam videos in March and watched everything on them. Got a compilation CD and "You best believe I'm in love: LUV...with Mary Weiss! Gotta have some Shangs everyday😊!
I saw the girls minus the best looking girl Betty on a tv show in about 1967, and 2/3rds were Ganser girls along with Mary and those 3 blew me away!!! I thought at the time THE BEST LOOKING GROUP OF GIRLS I EVER SEEN!!! I still think they were the sexiest rock group ever!!!! The Ganser girls were gorgeous!!! They just had to kind of take a back seat to the Weiss girls who are second to nobody if you know what I mean!!!!!
@@alanmurr6562 they were identical, but I can definitely tell who is who. Some identical twins it is hard to tell. All 4 pretty and talented for sure, but I know what you mean about taking a back seat to the Weiss girls
@@MB-uj1oo because they sure were not better then The Crystals, Ronettes, Martha & the Vandellas, Marvelettes, Shirelles, Blossoms, Jelly Beans, Butterflys, Supremes, Velvelettes, Ikettes, Chiffons, I saw them all in person & the Shangri-Las were the best WHITE girl group.
@@tonyrussi7777 It's entirely subjective, but I can see why so many people have the Shangri Las at, or near, the top of the list. It has to do with their very distinct style and sound. No one ever confused the Shangri Las for some other girl group.
@@dewayneblue1834 yes, as all the groups I listed, they had their own sound. I saw them LIVE in 1966 & was lucky enuff to meet them after the show. They were really cool.
US culture and society peaked around 1963-1965. It has been in gradual decline since the Vietnam War and the counter-culture movement. Don't get me wrong, we were still rockin' it in the 1970's and 1980's but the decline had already begun. This became most apparent after the year 2000.
lmao the cameraman held on to that shot for way too long.. I couldn't help but focus how awkward every single person in that clip was, not just by looks. But yeah, hair styles, just like videography, was truely something else back then
Compare their outfits and performance two days, outrageous, and almost naked attire to get a charge from their audiences, These girls were classy, and could deliver thought-provoking lyrics with their amazing voices. They had an innocence about them
Mary looks so sweet ! Mary Ann looks so sexy! The Shangs are by far the best looking rock group ever! 5 days from now, March 14 will be the 50th anniversary of Mary Ann's passing. I feel sure that she has been in a better place then we are for 50 years now.
@@cliffdiver1965 Mary Ann died of a OD of barbituates in March 1970. I heard her twin sister Marge took it very hard. Imagine having a twin and losing him/her at the age of 21. Marge died of breast cancer in 1996.
it was widely reported that it was an overdose, even in the local paper the weekend she passed..several young people od'd and there was an entire article about it. When a loved one dies of an od, some families decide to keep it private which is their right to do that
Did they ever do American Bandstand. I know that this was the Second Show Dick Clark did "outside" of American Bandstand the first being the Dick Clark Saturday Night Beechnut Show.
Brocade sweaters to match my eyes. No problem, my mother will take me to buy five of them. I was nine, and we dug these girls wicked bad, even my sisters were hip..
Wow!....such talent!..cute and sexy at the same time and nothing dirty!.....also when artists could sing live and sound as good if not better than the recording!......👌
I give her credit. That whole look; the hair, the makeup, the clothes, for the chance of a couple of seconds on national television. It had to be a lot of work. I hope it was a great day for her. Much appreciated across the decades. And we're still here talking about it. 👍👍 "Aaaiii." as the Fonz used to say .
When babes were still and I mean still full of surprises!!! I just love Mary weiss!! Hope to meet you the next life!!! I love you Mary weiss and I'll marry u in the next life!!!I'm truly madly deeply terribly in love with u!!
RIP Mary Weiss....so sorry to hear of her passing just now. Great group, impeccable voice, and one of the most beautiful women in pop rock.

Iconic voice from the sixties. Mary Weiss has timeless soul. I love to hear her sing. There's not enough video of the Shangri-Las.
What’s better than the Shangri-las in the Raiders’ hats? Nothing.
What's better? The Shangri-las in NOTHING BUT the Raiders' hats.
I can't say to much because she was only like 15 or 16 they were all Gorgeous ❤
RIP Mary 19th Jan 2024
Mary Weiss....Incredible and still only 16 or 17.
He's good bad but not evil....Mary Weiss' voice is everything
her voice is hypnotic
The ladies brought me here again thank you
❤
A rarity all four girls appearing Mary sister Betty and twins
God bless these ladies🙏
Look at the beehive at 1:14 holy evil!

Betty is/was Mary’s older sister. Still alive in her late 70’s now
I remember this show came on Friday afternoons. It was hosted by Dick Clark. And the first show had Paul Revere and the Raiders. Great times!
I'm almost certain Paul Revere and the Raiders were on stage right as this started, they're even wearing the hats!
these girls were beautiful
❤🌷🌹🌸🌺 RIP Mary Weiss 🌹🌸🌷🌷❤
blistering with innocence
Aww this is so cute. I love their Paul Revere hats

Tri - cornered hat. But same difference.

Every time I see clips like these it reminds me of the John Waters film Hairspray.
The best girl group of the 60s, no question!

I wish I was there guy
This is one of my favorite songs by Paula Revere and the Raiderettes.

they were all good singers

It's now clear that 'stadium rock' is not rock n roll and never was, THIS IS.
1:13 That girls got some hair.
Cool

Not sure murr it was enciphilitis, give her the benefit of the doubt R. I.P. Mary Ann and Margie.

@@akaginny7516 ok, I will delete my comment. I didn't mean to offend anyone. Also it was 51 years ago now.
Weird seeing all 4 of them.

No
What's Mary doing on the left? I bet it was Fang's idea.
Thanks Dazza B.
The New York Dolls brought me here.
Brocade sweaters to match my eyes.
No problem, my mother will take me to buy five of them.
I was nine, and we dug these girls wicked bad, even my sisters were hip..
...is he tall??
... well, I gotta look up!
looooooooooooooooove them.
1:14 Wow! Look at that hair! Must’ve taken hours to do that?
Wow!....such talent!..cute and sexy at the same time and nothing dirty!.....also when artists could sing live and sound as good if not better than the recording!......👌
Was this about the same guy who sped away on the motorcycle in Leader of the Pack?
The one on the left is Mary Weiss.
Love that hair at 1:15
That took me by surprise.. was that a super classic beehive or was she a Rastafarian??? Lol

They were the best girl group of the 60s
Goodbye Mary weiss
I wonder why Mary is wearing such tiny boots😊
Haha, good catch. I think the others have got their trousers tucked in, but Mary is wearing the hems over the boots.
Is there a full version of this video.
they all looked good here..but ganzer sisters perhaps best in leader of the pack steve allen show...better hairstyle
I was 8 years old and in love with the Ganser twins.
weirdos
Why is this vid so dark?
The elephant man’s sister was in the audience.
This is not the right singer
I beg your pardon?!
@@DzaVideo the wrong person is singing lead vocals
@@1DJSkittles It's Mary singing the lead vocals. It's a live version.
@Dazza B- All the more impressive that they sounded exactly the same live. Great energy, great moves, real beauties. I'm in love: LUV!❤❤❤❤
Lip-synching. You need microphones to record an actual live performance.
