Mary Weiss’s death was confirmed by Miriam Linna of Norton Records, who released her only solo album in 2007 but no cause of death was cited making it unknown whether the singer battled any form of illness.
“Mary was an icon, a hero, a heroine, to both young men and women of my generation and of all generations,” Linna said.
Born in 1948, Weiss developed a passion for music at a younger age, was consistent throughout her career, and became one of the most sought-after singers.
She rose to fame with The Shangri-Las as a teenager, powering hits about teenage love and tragedy including; Remember (Walking in the Sand), and Leader of the Pack.
The group comprised two sets of sisters, Mary and Betty Weiss, and twins Marge and Mary Ann Ganser, who first met in elementary school.
Formed in the working-class New York City borough of Queens, The Shangri-Las’ tough-girl image helped them stand out from other girl groups.
By 1968, the group disbanded and Weiss got a job in the accounting department of an architectural firm where she she later became the chief purchasing agent.
In 2007, Weiss returned to music with a debut solo album Dangerous Game under the imprint of Norton Records. Following the release, she toured the United States, Spain, and France.
In 2019, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame honored the Shangri-Las’ “Leader of the Pack”, on which Weiss sang lead, in the Hall’s Singles category.
In a tribute, Ronnie Spector tweeted; “We are deeply saddened to hear the news of Mary Weiss’ passing. She and Ronnie were kindred spirits; two fearless bad girls of the 60s. Join us as we spin the Shangri-Las in her honor:
