wither Imogene Lynn?
The article says "Marjory Garland (1923-1991) replaced Mary Lou Cook after Ride 'Em Cowboy was filmed [in 1942]. ... Garland, who later married Judd McMichael, remained with the group until the 1960s."

But according to Variety, "She ([Imogene Lynn]) later went on in to be the solo female vocalist for the MerryMacs" (ref), which would have had to have been between Lynn 1944 and 1949. And in fact Billboard on July 26, 1947, has this: "Imogene Lynn, who used to warble with the Merry Macs, has switched to Smart Set vocal group.". As a matter of fact, the woman in the picture at the top of the Singers.com page on the Merry Macs is Imogene Lynn.

So it's not true, and not ref'd, that Marjory Garland was their lead singer 1942-1960s. The article is very poorly ref'd. So I don't know where the Marjory Garland info comes from. So I just added this to the above passage: "Imogene Lynn was the group's female lead singer in 1946 and 1947." which leaves it kind of contradictory mishmash...

Vibraphone?
To me one of the characteristics of their music is their frequent use of the vibraphone. It seems an odd "hook" for a vocal group. Did one of them play that instrument? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.202.33.17 (talk) 01:19, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
