Susan Maughan

Susan Maughan (born Marian Maughan, 1 July 1938, Consett, County Durham, England) is an English singer who released successful singles in the 1960s.
Her most famous and successful song, "Bobby's Girl" (a cover of the Marcie Blane single), reached number three in the UK Singles Chart at Christmas time in 1962. It also reached number six in Norwegian chart in that year. In early 1963, Maughan had further minor UK hits entitled "Hand A Handkerchief To Helen" and "She's New To You". Also at that time she released her first album on Philips called I Wanna Be Bobby's Girl But.... All songs on this album featured male names, including the John D. Loudermilk songs "Norman" and "James (Hold The Ladder Steady)" which were hits in the US for the American singer Sue Thompson. Thompson had a minor UK hit in 1965 with "Paper Tiger", and the songs were also covered in the UK by Carol Deene.
She appeared at the 1963 Royal Variety Performance, and in the 1963 film, What a Crazy World. Maughan also appeared in the film, Pop Gear and sang the title song for the second Charles Vine low-budget superspy film, Where the Bullets Fly (1966). In 1971 she appeared in series five of the Morecambe & Wise BBC television series. In that year she also replaced Clodagh Rogers in the show at London’s Adelphi Theatre, Meet Me In London, after Rogers withdrew just before curtain up on the first night when one of her songs was cut. Late in rehearsals it had become clear the show was too long for one running twice-nightly.
