Marcia Blank (born May 21, 1944), [1], known as Marcie Blane, is a former American pop singer from 1962 to 1965.
Blane was born in Brooklyn, New York. [2]
As a favor to a friend, Blane recorded a demo for Seville Records. The song was " Bobby's Girl". Released in the fall of 1962, "Bobby's Girl" made No. 2 on the Cash Box chart and No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, [2] 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. [3] In the United Kingdom the song was covered by Susan Maughan who had the hit. [3] "What Does A Girl Do?", the follow-up single, [2] rose to No. 82 on the Hot 100 list in early 1963, and was Blane's only other appearance on any Billboard chart. [4]
