Susan MAUGHAN - I Want To Be Bobby´s Girl 1996

Jazz

Susan Maughan was born Marion Susan Maughan, in County Durham, in the North East of England, on July 1st 1942.She grew up in Birmingham and lived for some time in London- but you are probably more likely to find her in the North West these days because of her frequent summer seasons at Blackpool.In 1962 she rapidly became seen as the main UK challenger to the chart dominance of the young and very talented Helen Shapiro.This followed the release of her wonderful record, 'Bobby's Girl' - an exceptionally well made cover version of a song released in the U.S. by Marcie Blane. Susan had begun her career, like Helen, as a young teenager- but she was twenty by the time of this great hit.Unfortunately, Susan Maughan's chart career was short lived as she was unable to consolidate her hit credentials with a substantial follow-up. She had the opportunity to cover the Exciters' 'Tell Him', but the number was foolishly rejected as 'unsuitable' by her manager and the benefit went to Billie Davis. Nevertheless, Susan Maughan remained a top live performer throughout the 1960s and 'Bobby's Girl' helped sustain a lengthy and eventful show business career over the next several decades.

Susan MAUGHAN - Hey Look Me Over 1967

Susan MAUGHAN - Hey Look Me Over 1967
2007 Issue.UICY-6750

Jazz

Susan Maughan turns on, tunes in and drops out with Hey Look at Me, the kind of self-consciously groovy vocal jazz set that is unmistakably the product of Swingin' London circa 1967. A square, frustratingly sentimental singer on previous LPs, Maughan digs into pop hits like "There's a Kind of Hush" and "I'm a Believer" with gusto, but what pulls the record back from the precipice of kitsch is the smart, sophisticated arrangements of pianist Laurie Holloway, who manages to generate some truly soulful moments.

Susan MAUGHAN - Swingin' Susan 1963

Susan MAUGHAN - Swingin' Susan 1963

Jazz

British singer Susan Maughan scored just one hit, 1962’s Bobby girl, but continues to make a rewarding career from it. Throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s she issued a string of high-quality releases, including – somewhat unusually for girl singers of the period – a number she had written herself.
She was born Marian Susan Maughan on 1 July 1942, and hailed from Consett, County Durham, in the north east of England. As a child, her family relocated to Birmingham, and after leaving school she became an office typist.
But Susan’s nine-to-five working life was set to change when she answered an advertisement in Disc Weekly for a featured vocalist with the Ronnie Hancox Dance Band. Susan successfully auditioned and during her three years with Hancox she learnt to read and write music.
In 1961 she was introduced to agent Dick Katz, who was looking for a female vocalist to join the Ray Ellington Quartet. Within a few weeks Susan was enjoying her first engagement with the quartet at the Sporting Club in Monte Carlo. She remained with Ellington for a year.
Susan had also signed to the Philips label and was destined for fame with guidance from her producer, Johnny Franz – even though her first three efforts failed to chart.
Her first long player for Philips in 1963 was titled I wanna be Bobby’s girl but…, and was a concept album of sorts, featuring songs that included boys’ names, such as Teddy (a Connie Francis US single) and Sue Thompson’s US releases James (hold the ladder steady) and Norman
(both of which were also issued by Brit girl Carol Deene).
That same year saw the release of SWINGIN’ SUSAN and, a year later, came Sentimental Susan. The two albums present her singing standards, which suit her singing voice very well. She also released four EPs for Philips.
