Sad news of yet another from my childhood departing this mortal coil. Marcie didn't have all that many hits but was on the telly a lot and continued performing right up near the end.
Marcie always seemed to be full of life.  RIP

I played a local gig with Marcie around 10 years ago, and she was on the bill directly before my band. She was very down to earth and a delight to work with.
