Pamela Blue is one of the more mysterious female pop-rock vocalists of the early 1960's, and one of the more startling discoveries of producer <a href="spotify:artist:2qFfH4tRlRJtTqPoapoerO">Joe Meek</a>, at least based on her one and only single. At 15, she was already out of school and trying to find work as a singer, and even fronted a band for a time. She chanced to meet <a href="spotify:artist:00ByTA04jKtjHCSCEjKFID">Screaming Lord Sutch</a>, who put her in touch with <a href="spotify:artist:2qFfH4tRlRJtTqPoapoerO">Joe Meek</a>, who had a song and an arrangement just waiting for a singer. "My Friend Bobby" was written by <a href="spotify:artist:6IE83tHbgZFyT4pEHbGRv6">Geoff Goddard</a>, and it was of a piece with such works as "Tribute To Buddy Holly" and "Just Like Eddie," other <a href="spotify:artist:2qFfH4tRlRJtTqPoapoerO">Meek</a> production subjects, only more personal. With a sound similar to "Everyday" (by way of <a href="spotify:artist:0cVmc1nQGe7hbRDRRIn51a">the Tornadoes</a>' "Telstar," the obvious conclusion was to substitute "Buddy" for "Bobby" and one came up not only with another <a href="spotify:artist:3wYyutjgII8LJVVOLrGI0D">Buddy Holly</a> tribute song, but a love song, as well--really from <a href="spotify:artist:2qFfH4tRlRJtTqPoapoerO">Meek</a> to his idol. It was all very poignant, and Blue was apparently sufficiently encouraged by the results to give up her factory job. Alas, she never got another record released. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
