Marisha Data

Marisha Data (died October 12, 1972) was a Polish-American comedian, singer, and composer.

[1] In 1948 she was performing Il Trovatore while touring with the Chicago Opera Artists Association, in the role of Azucena.

The opera itself received a scathing review, but Data was again praised as someone who could “make a poor aria sound like a fairly good one”.

[9] In the character of "Aggie Klepaczka" she performed comic skits in both Polish and English, over a period that lasted from the early 1950s until the 1960s.

Richie Drongoski in 1992 included her name in his song with lyrical content similar to Rock and Roll Heaven but switched to Polka.
