Sunday Morning Vault: Marcie Blane--Bobby's Girl (1962)

    Am bringing back the Sunday Morning Vault by popular demand...well, not really, just had this stack of songs that fit the mold...

     When one thinks of the gigging, recording, scraping, begging and pleading that most musicians have to do just to get heard by an audience of any size, the idea of just walking into a small studio and making a demo seems beyond belief. However, in the 50's and early 60's, more than a few stars found their way just like that. Remember Elvis? He was discovered while a truck driver just going into a studio and making a 45 for his mother.

     Which brings us to Marcie Blane. While in high school, she recorded a demo and the Seville record label released it as a favor to for a friend. The demo ended up going to #3 in the fall of 1982, but after another single that barely reached the top 100 her "career" was over. She left music for good and became a music & arts educator.
