    (this recording will likely not appeal to Roger, Bruce, or DianeE,
    but it might have some appeal for Steve, Jim, and thousands of other
    70+ Americans who enjoy rockin' femme music from the mid 60s)

    DeepSeek tells me (amongst other info):

    Little Pattie, born Patricia Amphlett on September 17, 1949, in
    Sydney, Australia, is an iconic Australian pop singer who rose to fame
    in the early 1960s. She became one of the country's most beloved teen
    idols during that era.

    Following her debut success {in 1963}, Little Pattie released several
    other popular singles, including "Stompin' at Maroubra" and "A Love
    Like You." Her music often reflected the surf and beach culture that
    was prevalent in Australia during the 1960s.

    Little Pattie is also remembered for her involvement in entertaining
    Australian troops during the Vietnam War. In 1966, she performed at
    the Nui Dat concert in Vietnam, which tragically coincided with the
    Battle of Long Tan. Despite the danger, she continued to perform,
    earning respect and admiration for her bravery and dedication to the
    troops.
