I'm sad to hear that she died. Popsicles And Icicles by The Murmaids is one of my favorite one hit wonders. Lovely harmonies from the singers and the overall feel of the music is just happy and fun.

I happen to have the song Popsicles And Icicles on a oldies cd of girl groups of the 50's and 60's and I didn't know that The Murmaids sang that song and it's such a cute song. The other info I learned about the song is singer David Gates " The lead singer and founder of the group Bread" wrote Popsicles and Icicles for The Murmaids and was his first ever song he wrote that made him famous as a songwriter before he founded Bread
