She was also the Late Chrissie Amphlett's ( Divinyls ) cousin. And in her case a Breast Cancer survivor.

Musical family.

P.S. Very early surf music down here ( Australia ) is really different from the "Classic California Surf Sound" that developed just a few years later from the States.

The sound of the recording of Little Pattie seemed a little bit too "British Invasion", as we call it here in the States, so I looked up the release date and found it was Pattie's first single release from 1963, so it actually is about a couple of years behind the "Classic California Surf Sound" that started around 1961; the song also sounds like some of the numbers written for all those teen surf movies from the early to late 1960s; it shares the same sort of transitional styles from the dominance of Tin Pan Alley/Brill Building pop music to its replacement by the evolving Dylan/Beatles, singer/songwriter norm of today...

I stumbled across this song while looking up the Little Pattie story and, although I remember this song now, it had completely slipped my mind; this was released in 1961 and the band, The Belairs, had members pass through who would later become parts of more famous surf acts...

The Bel-Airs --

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bel-Airs

The fact many of The Belairs' members later joined so many different acts is not unusual in the CA surf scene; the various musicians and/or singers often appeared on each others' recordings, usually without credit, due to record company restrictions; Jan & Dean used to sing on Beach Boys recordings and members of the Beach Boys performed on Jan & Dean's releases; interestingly, at the start of surf music, a lot of the instrumental side of the music was not recorded by the acts themselves, but by elite studio musicians such as the famous "Wrecking Crew", a situation that led to problems when the bands would go out on tour; a lot of the band members didn't really have the musical or technical chops to recreate the pros' work, so live performances were kind of erratic at times, with band member playing 'dumbed down' versions of their own released recordings; I saw the Beach Boys live once, very early on, and was a bit disappointed with the musicianship and looseness of the band; I never bothered to see the live after that...

"A tremendous video. so beautiful. a perfect video, really. a lot of people they're calling and saying it's the best video ever in history. a perfect video. and it's unlike anything anybody's ever seen. and excuse me excuse me it's been viewed over 125 billion times, maybe, more perhaps, even a brazillion, I've heard well over a brazillian in some parts of the world."

I promise to stop here.
