Mary Ann Ganser
1947 – March 14, 1970
Mary Ann Ganser was one of the four singers in the ’60s girl group, the Shangri-Las. She, along with identical twin, Marge Ganser, and another set of sisters, Mary Weiss and Betty Weiss, recorded such hits as “Leader Of The Pack” and “Remember (Walking In The Sand).” After record label problems and a downturn in their popularity, the Shangri-Las called it quits in 1968. Bitter from not receiving royalties from their millions of records sold, Mary Ann Ganser retired from the music industry, and on March 14, 1970, she died of an apparent overdose of barbiturates.
