about

Kathy Zee was born Kathleen Ann Zaleski in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania June 12, 1946. At age 4, the talented Mz Zee started playing the mandolin and was the youngest mandolin player in the city of Pittsburgh. She started singing at age 4 when her brother Jim was a featured entertainer at a local benefit show for one of the local TV stations. Kathy wanted to be a part of the show and asked to sing a song called "Some of these days". The people loved her and her career started flourishing. She and Jim teamed up and created "the Harmony WIldcats." They were regulars on the Eva Jackson TV and radio show, numerous local tv shows and benefit shows. Brother Jimmy played guitar and was a singer who had won many local talent shows, including the Wilkens Amateur Hour. (He is 8 years older than Kathy). They were featured on many top talent shows including the Ted Mack Amateur hour, where they toured all over the east coast with the show. In 1959, a talent agent from Pittsburgh PA named Elmer WIllett signed Kathy only to a record contract on the Laurie Label based out of New York. The record was called "Buzzin". JIm played guitar and did the backup vocals. Buzzin hit number one in Hamberg Germany for 3 weeks straight and then hit the top 40 in the US. A follow up recording called "Santa Claus Rock and Roll" and "Your Name, Your Name" which featured both Kathy and Jimmy, was released on the Willet Label shortly after. Jim played lead guitar and Dick Glaser and the Glaser Brothers
