The McCrary Sisters shared the following on the loss of their sister, Deborah McCrary, yesterday, June 1, 2022: “It is with deep sorrow that we share the news of the passing of our beloved sister Deborah.”

She has performed with Elvis, and with Isaac Hayes on Dinah Shore’s TV show. Deborah spent most of her adult life working as a nurse before focusing on singing with her sisters.

They have released four studio albums and one live album: Our Journey, All the Way, Let’s Go, Live and A Very McCrary Christmas.
