The following comment by Fred Gallant on a youtube video clarifies many misconceptions about the group and the songs.
- “Let me set the record straight. Mary Lee was recorded at a home studio in Seattle, WA. in 1960.
- “The lead vocal was done by Seattle local Gary Tobin. Wayne Gust played guitar, his brother Eddie played bass, Dennis Lyons played piano and Fred Gallant played drums.
- “The background vocals were done by local Seattle gals.
- “Mary Lee was placed on the flip side of the 45 Searchin’ For Love by the Devilles.
- “The Devilles provided the backing on Mary Lee as a favour to the producer.
FRED GALLANT.”
