Her singing career spanned six decades and she also made a few television appearances, including an episode of M*A*S*H.

  1. Marilyn King really was the main force in The Miller sisters line up. Great singer and dynamic personality.

  2. Were the Miller Sisters ever an actual “trio” as shown in the M*A*S*H episodes, or only a Duo per various album covers and some bibliographies?

    Also would someone be kind enough to let me know the song titles as used in the TV series and where I can obtain the complete and same musical arrangements as I have had no luck myself.

    Thanks,
