Susan Maughan - Bobby's Girl (1963) 

As a 16 year old who worked in a hotel in 1967.Leeds u/k . Pageboy had to go to her room to collect a letter for posting . Wow, a very attractive woman fell in love . Still think about her to this day . 🎉

my younger brother died in 1978 this was his favourite song love it

This was my dad s song ,as he was called Bobby, and I look the spite of my dad ,and I miss him everyday ,😢

Love this song takes me back to the 60s as a kid ❤

Wonderful singer

In bed singing a long to this great song. hope the neighbours cant hear me its 2-30 in the morning.

I've always loved this song. So many songs from back then were fun, happy and clean songs!

The lovely Susan Maughan...Reminds me so much of my Mother in the early 60s. Nice clear copy this...Thanks for the excellent post.

I remember seeing her on the Royal Variety Performance. I loved that song.

Hi Keith, Remember this one? One of your favourites when you came to stay with your grandma and grandpa.

Bobby, what are you waiting for she's bloomin' gorgeous?

Thinking of my mum on her birthday, miss her every day ❤

Aww childhood memories 🥰

The quite magnificent Susan Maughan.

You'd think someone would iron those curtains.

Nostalgia at its best 👍👏

Love it !

Best singer ever...

Gone are the days of such tallant.

Susan's cover of this one is beautiful!!!! This is how a REAL singer does Pop!!! Marcie Blane's original pales in comparison to this. Marcie's rendition charted to #3 here in 1962. Ironically, Susan's cover went to #3 in the UK. Both versions were released in 1962, months apart. Marcie did it first.

I was nine years old and Susan was my very first girlfriend. Happy days. 🥳 👍

When I first saw her back then, I wanted to be Bobby.

Fab fab fabulous love it

Loved this song

Still listening 2021 :)

She had a pub in Consett years ago I was told well before my time but

She was more than a singer - I've just looked in Her eyes again - I'm now helpless for the rest of today.

That Bobby was one lucky s.o.b.

Great video! Loved Susan! :-)

Music!!!👌

I was and we parted xxxx

Violins take songs to the next level 2:17 to the end

Marci Blane made this a hit in the USA. This is the first time I’ve heard this version. She seems a bit old to be singing a teenage bopper song. BTW it always bothered me that tge grammar is wrong. It should be "if I were Bobby's girl."

When people ask of me What would you like to be Now that you're not a kid any more? (You're not a kid anymore) I know just what to say I answer right away There's just one thing I've been wishing for I wanna be Bobby's girl I wanna be Bobby's girl That's the most important thing to me And if I was Bobby's girl If I was Bobby's girl What a faithful, thankful girl I'd be Each night I sit at home Hoping that he will phone But I know Bobby has someone else (You're not a kid anymore) Still in my heart I pray There soon will come a day When I will have him all to myself I wanna be Bobby's girl I wanna be Bobby's girl That's the most important thing to me And if I was Bobby's girl If I was Bobby's girl What a faithful, thankful girl I'd be What a faithful, thankful girl I'd be I wanna be Bobby's girl I wanna be Bobby's girl I wanna be Bobby's girl Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Gary Klein / Henry Hoffman

The audio is the original recording but it does not go with the video which featured an orchestra and Susan singing live, I think in London. The video, while cleaned up nice, is spliced since Susan ad-libbed some extra words in this great performance. Here's the real audio. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-84D9jD1_qq0.html

In America Marcie Blaine sang the song on American radio. Susan Maughan's version sounds a more mature young woman singing.

Doesn't wanna be Smith's Crisps anymore then? :P

I'm so used to the other version that this seems very forced where as the other one is song by a teenage girl and you hear it in her voice . That childish teenage innocence of the time...i s

Marcie Blane Does The Song Better.

Susan's cover is good but I think I prefer the original.

She's a good singer but not as innocent looking as Marcie Blaine.

Sorry, it stinks! 👎 I only love the original song!
