5.0 out of 5 stars It seems that Marcie didn't really want to be Bobby's girl, 16 Aug 2005
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Marcie Blane (real name Marcia Blank) is one of countless singers who appeared seemingly from nowhere to have a monster hit only to disappear as quickly to be dismissed as yet another one-hit wonder. In fact, Marcie didn't like the music business at all and showed little interest in doing what was required to promote her records. Radio and TV stations don't encourage such singers, so that explains why Marcie never repeated the success of her first hit.

Marcie was a huge music fan who enjoyed singing folk songs at school. At around the time she finished school, a songwriter friend asked Marcie to make some demo recordings of his songs. The songwriter pitched his songs to a record label, but it was Marcie's voice rather than the songs that created the impression. So it was that Marcie was signed to a recording contract and had an American top three hit with Bobby's girl. It became a huge hit in many countries around the world but one notable exception was Britain, where Susan Maughan recorded a faithful cover and made the UK top three. Singer-comedienne Tracey Ullman covered the song in the early eighties.

Marcie recorded six further singles after Bobby's girl, all of a high quality. The follow-up (What does a girl do) became a minor American hit but the others missed the charts completely. With their B-sides, Marcie's seven singles make up the first fourteen tracks here. Marcie recorded German versions of two of the songs including Bobby's girl, which are also included. The remaining tracks include a stereo version of Bobby's girl and various previously unreleased demos.

It seems that, unlike many other one-hit wonders, Marcie is perfectly happy with what she achieved and has no regrets. She never wanted a recording contract, got one by accident, didn't like the recording industry and has led a normal life away from the spotlight. Yet this collection shows that Marcie had the talent to be a really great singer. If you enjoy early sixties pop music, you'll likely love this set.

3.0 out of 5 stars an innocent gem, 14 Dec 2004
By A Customer
you don`t need to look for a hidden meaning in the work of marcie blane. It`s simple pop from the innocent pre-Beatles period. It`s not advisable for the young ones of the sixties to play this record for their children and expect acclaim.
This CD is only worth the fare for those who were young in the early sixties and can take delight in songs that bring back the good memories of the times when life was a little bit more easy to cope with. Strolling down Memory Lane with this CD from your head phones, reminds you that more lasting music was yet to come, but the charming voice of Marcie Blane is evidence that good memories not necessarily are attached to music of the highest quality.
For the record, Susan Maughan covered this tune for the British market. Her rendering doesn`t hold a candle to the original from Marcie Blane.
It`s Bobby`s Girl that make this CD worthwhile, but it`s interesting to listen to "new" material from a one-hit wonder.

5.0 out of 5 stars It could never happen again, 16 April 2008
By Richard "Alice Collector" (Blackpool England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Marcie Blane -whose real name was as incredible as her "stage" one represents pure high school pop as good as it got.Probably too normal to be attracted to a business even then tainted with payola and scandal she was for 5 minutes the biggest selling girl singer in the country.
Though a one hit wonder by top 40 standards her follow up sold on the strength of the hit
