NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED - (Warner Bros. 5658) 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' was sung in a somewhat lower register, the flipside, 'Meadowgreen' her vocal delivery was sung with the same breathy, wispy style that helped Miss Stevens sell quite a few records. Recorded at Western Recorders in August 1965, the tune is quite dreamy and the beautifully orchestrated backing track is played to perfection by L.A.'s Wrecking Crew. It is also noteworthy that the ending fade of the backing track is an almost note for note recreation of the fade heard on the Walker Brothers recording of, 'The Seventh Dawn' which was recorded four blocks west on Sunset Boulevard at RCA Victor Studios in January 1965.
