The Daisy Chain was formed in Fullerton, California. Their lineup consisted of bandleader Michelle "Shele" Pinizzotto (née Tary, later Urquhart) on vocals, Camille Orosco (alias Sherry Scott) on the
organ,
Rosemary Butler (née Lane) on
bass guitar, and Dee Dee Lea (née Bagby) on drums. Members of the Daisy Chain, including Butler and Lea, Urquhart, while not a formal member of the Ladybirds, helped coach their vocals in the early phases of the band. In 1965, they signed on to M.P.I. of the United States, cutting another single, a cover of the
Pomus—
Shuman song "
Sweets for My Sweet" backed with "Why Must I Be Lonely" composed by Ladybirds member Marilisa Read. The Ladybirds found modest success, opening for
the Rolling Stones and touring internationally, including to
Thailand and
Vietnam in 1967. Between October 1966 and September 1967, Lea and Butler split from the Ladybirds and formed a new band with Urquhart. ==Later years==
