Wikipedia:
Mary, Mary was written by Michael Nesmith and was first recorded by The Butterfield Blues Band for their 1966 album East-West.
In July 1966, Nesmith produced and recorded the song for his own band, The Monkees, at Western Recorders in Hollywood, California. Micky Dolenz sang lead, and Mike used the crack group of session musicians known as The Wrecking Crew to beef up their sound, including James Burton, Glen Campbell, Al Casey, Hal Blaine, Jim Gordon, Michael Deasy and Larry Knechtel.
