Als die Familie nach Queens, (Long Island) umzog, schloss sich Marcia der Schulband der New Yorker Jamaica High School an und spielte dort Flöte. Als sie 18 Jahre alt war, wurde sie von einem Freund gebeten, ein Demoband mit seiner Komposition zu besingen. Als dieses Band in die Hände des Managers Marv Holtzman von der Schallplattenfirma Seville kam, war er so von der Stimme der Sängerin beeindruckt, dass er Marcia einen Plattenvertrag anbot.

The month of December 1962 found the US airwaves filled with female teen idols. "All Alone Am I", lamented Brenda Lee, while Dee Dee Sharp urged everyone to "Ride", Mary Wells sang about her "Two Lovers" and Little Eva warned her rivals to "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby". Sitting pretty above them all in the record charts at the time was MARCIE BLANE, who wanted to be . . . BOBBY'S GIRL.
Prior to that moment, Marcie had lived the life of the archetypal American teenager. Real name MARCIA BLANK, she grew up in Brooklyn, New York with her parents Ernest and Muriel, older sister Janet, and younger brother and sister, Carl and Sandra. Marcie had music in her blood. Pa Blank earned his living as a professional musician and music teacher. He had been working as a pianist in the Catskills when he first met and fell in love with 16-year-old Muriel Shalit, whose parents would only consent to their daughter's marriage on the understanding that Ernest graduated from college first. Sure enough, after gaining a degree in music education at NYU, the couple were wed.
