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, United States.[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]
