Read "Lavender Girl - The Patty Michaels Story" by John
Grecco and Phil Milstein here: http://tinyurl.com/5mnbc
An excerpt: "Lavender Girl", by unknown writer Kathy Legan,
intros with awesome, Drifters-ish tympani thuds, crosscut
with stings of electric guitar. The lyric positions the
singer's mood midway between the metaphorical meanings of
the colors green and blue, thus arriving at "Lavender Girl".
The melody evokes, of all things, "Oh Holy Night", but
there's little Xmasy in Patty's ominous whispering of the
title in response to the refrain, nor in the skipping rhythm
that propels the song's anxious bridge. The net effect is
two fleeting minutes of girl group ecstasy.
