Melody Patterson - YOU'RE THE ONE - (Western Recorders) (1965)

NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED - (Warner Bros. 5658) Recorded August 27, 1965 at United-Western Recorders in Hollywood, the one and only single issued by then sixteen year old actress, Melody Patterson who was just starting her newly acquired role as 'Wrangler Jane' in the ABC-TV series, 'F Troop'. It's interesting that the underage Patterson managed to snag the acting gig with a fake birth certificate but was so professional and well received by the viewers that her age snafu was worked around and accommodated. Also interesting is that not only did the TV series debut in September 1965 but her Warner Bros. single, 'You're The One' b/w 'Meadowgreen' did as well. In the late 1950's and early 1960's, the television arm of Warner Bos. Pictures was known for not wasting any time in getting their hot new TV actors and actresses behind a microphone in a recording studio. Connie Stevens was one of their most successful and curiously, while Melody's version of 'You're The One' with its sprinkling of Phil Spector musical embellishments, was sung in a somewhat lower register, her vocal delivery on the flipside, 'Meadowgreen' was sung with the same breathy, wispy style that helped Miss Stevens sell quite a few records. Composed by Petula Clark and Tony Hatch, 'You're The One' was the plug side on Melody Patterson's lone single. Clark had included her original version on her 'I Know A Place' LP and in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania a group that would be credited as the Vogues recorded their version initially for Blue Star Records in July 1965 which was changed to Co & Ce Records one month later. The male quartet would achieve a world wide hit and the biggest selling version of the song leaving Miss Patterson and others in the dust.
