Marcie Blane
Marcia Blank, better known as Marcie Blane (born May 21, 1944),[1] is an American pop singer.
Life and career
Blane was born in Brooklyn, New York.
As a favor to a friend, Marcie recorded a demo for Seville Records. The song was "Bobby's Girl". Released in the fall of 1962, "Bobby's Girl" made #2 on the Cash Box chart and #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was later recorded for the German market in their language. It sold over one million copies by 1963, and was awarded a gold disc.[2] In the United Kingdom the song was covered by Susan Maughan who had the hit.[2] "What Does A Girl Do?", the follow-up single, rose to #82 on the Hot 100 list in early 1963, and was Blane's only other appearance on any Billboard chart.[3]
