Australian music trailblazer Marcie Jones has died at the age of 79, just days after publicly revealing a leukemia diagnosis.
The beloved vocalist first rose to fame in the late 1960s as the powerhouse lead singer of Marcie & The Cookies, an all-female vocal group that helped break ground in Australia’s male-dominated music scene. Show to global stages alongside The Monkees, The Seekers, Cliff Richard and Tom Jones, Marcie’s impact on Australian music history is undeniable.” Her 2008 memoir Runs In The Blood described her as “an unsung Australian music legend” who “may not have received the accolades of some of her more recognised peers, but has remained stoic in her determination to perform, write and be a mother to her two boys.”
