The originators of the Las Vegas lounge scene perform three great songs. The guitar she is playing is the very first Stratocaster to come out of the Fender custom shop!

  • What a talent! And she is playing what would become known as the Mary Kaye Stratocaster. That must be the movie 'Cha Cha Boom' the movie that features her playing it. She favored D'Angelicos and would not own a Strat for some years. Fender did a promo ad with her Trio and sent over an Ash bodied blond Strat with gold hardware. The name stuck due to the ad. She was awesome!

  • This is freakin' awesome! Thanks for posting!

  • What a treasure this group was. Loved seeing them often so many years ago in Lake Tahoe and Reno. Thank you for preserving these moments.

  • breautiful and all classy

  • Rockin' on the custom Strat!

  • frank ross is my dads cousin, one of the best guys you could ever meet

  • Before Bruno Mars, there was Don Ho. Before Don Ho, there was The Mary Kay Trio!

  • this has to be the oldest playbacking on youtube.

    epic music though

  • She was awesome! If that strat would have been plugged in they would have had to use 100 ft. of cord! Also note the lucky rabbits foot hooked where her bottom strap would have been on the strat.

  • talk about Retro.. that strat is probably worth a million bucks by now.

  • What a talent! And she's playing what would become known as the Mary Kaye Stratocaster. That must be the movie Cha Cha Boom that shows her playing it, she often favored D'Angelico hollow bodies and would not own a Srat for some years, Fender did a promo ad with her Trio sending over an Ash bodied blond Strat with gold hardware. The name Mary Kaye Stratocaster stuck due to the ad. She will be missed.

  • Her guitar isn't plugged in.

  • That's quite a trio! All 9 of them.

  • Her mouth is humongous.

  • So cool to see them in action. Wish I was alive back then when they were performing.

  • What a treat. Never seen this one before. Sure miss her. Love to you my Mary!!!

  • I just love them! Thanks so much.
