Marcia Blank (b. May 21, 1944), professionally known as Marcie Blane, was into a musical family in Jamaica, New York. Her father was a music teacher, and she learned to play violin, flute, piano, and guitar. She was also captain of her high school cheer team, secretary of dance corps, a summer camp counselor, as well as secretary of her senior class.
When approached by two friends, Gary Klein and Henry Hoffman, and asked to record some demos to demonstrate their song writing to record labels, Marcie did so as a favor. The execs at Seville were although were more interested in Marcie. When asked to write her a song that would resonate with teenagers, and the Klein & Hoffman duo came up with “Bobby’s Girl”. Marcie’s debut shot up the charts peaking at #3.
Seville rushed her follow up, “What Does A Girl Do?”, to the markets, but it stalled at #89, being deemed too risqué for airplay. All the four of Marcie’s other singles failed to chart at all and she remains a one-hit wonder. After choosing to leave to music industry, which she had a dislike for, she went to college, and became a teacher.
