[edit] Judith Durham?
I'm rather doubtful about the reference to Judith Durham (another fine vocalist). She doesn't quite fit the mould, although the Seekers could be described rather loosely as "folk rock". Having moved from Australia, the Seekers were already established in Britain by the time that We Five came to notice and in fact We Five barely penetrated the UK. They probably owed more to groups like the Springfields (and, indeed, Tom Springfield wrote songs for them) and Peter, Paul & Mary. The link seems tenuous. IXIA 07:27, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Have inserted a new reference that covers the point above. IXIA 20:14, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article Needs Work
Does anyone else think this article carries an ever so slightly crazed, obsessive tone? It is full of fanciful musings, digressions, speculations that shouldn't really have a place in an encyclopedia article. I mean, look at some of the footnotes for goodness sakes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.117.29.90 (talk) 18:14, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
I don't know if this articls is "crazed" or "obsessive" but it does need work. It has a lot of irrelevant stuff, as well as some awkward writing. I have seen much worse articles— like the main We Five article which is almost unreadable. The reason I wandered over to this article was because I wanted to find out the date of her death... which hasn't happened yet, happily. I was one of those who had heard that she died young. The story arc of her life should be straightforward enough: she was in a folk-rock band with some friends, they were pretty good, she got tired of the band and left, met an older jazz musician, and soon began raising a family and living quietly in Berkeley, California. She is exceptional because the band was a memorable one hit wonder and because she was strikingly beautiful. I don't know how hard it would be to fix the article.

[edit] A False Positive
I wasted some time poking around Google looking to see if Beverly Bivens Marshall, in her post-We Five persona as an East Bay housewife, had left any net droppings. I found some promising news stories dated around 2005 which referred to "Beverly Marshall", Finance Director of the Berkeley Public Library. (There was a local uproar around that time over a plan to put RFID tags on library books.) But it turns out that this was a false positive: the news stories actually involved a younger woman (actually named Beverli Marshall with an "i" rather than "y" at the end of "Beverli"), who is now an assistant city manager in nearby Orinda, California.
