Earlier this month, Mary Kath, 91, died on December 8th.
She was born in Towanda, Illinois, (on Route 66 north of Bloomington-Normal)on October 27, 1924. She had one hit song on the pop charts with "Daddy-O" (#14-1955) and several country hits.
She was one of the first female rock and rollers and one of the the first country stars to cross over to rock. In addition, she was on radio in Cincinnati and Kansas City for many years.
I wrote about her in greater detail in my Down Da Road I Go blog today.
I'd never heard of her before
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
