Biography
The Merry Macs were an American and British close-harmony pop music quartet active from the 1920s until 2000. Known for hits such as "Mairzy Doats" (1943) and "Sentimental Journey" (1944), the group formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, initially consisting of the McMichael brothers: Judd, Joe, and Ted. They were discovered by Eddie Dunstedter and renamed the Mystery Trio. In 1933, they added female lead singer Cheri McKay and changed their name to the Merry Macs. Their first recording was released by Victor Records that year. The group began appearing on national radio programs in 1936 and signed with Decca Records in 1938, recording "Pop Goes the Weasel" (1938). They also sang in films such as Seeing Red (1939) and Ride 'Em Cowboy (1942). The Merry Macs continued performing until Judd McMichael retired in 1964. Vern Rowe and Ted McMichael took the group to the UK, where they performed until 2000.
