Dodie Stevens (born Geraldine Ann Pasquale, 17 February 1946, Chicago, Illinois) is an American pop singer. She is best known for her 1959 song "Pink Shoe Laces", which made her a star when she was only 13 years old. The president of Crystalette Records, Carl Burns, happened to see her in a local show called "Strickly Informal." Mr. Burns gave her the name Dodie Stevens and the song "Pink Shoe Laces." Although Stevens did not initially like her new name or the song, she recorded "Pink Shoe Laces" in 1959 for the Crystalette label. The song reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. She became the youngest female ever to sell a million copies of a single. Following the song’s success, Dot Records signed her to a recording contract. In the early 1960s, she had several minor hit singles on Dot including "No" (Dot 16103) and "Yes I'm Lonesome Tonight" (Dot 16167), as well as "Merry, Merry Christmas Baby" (M. Sylvia / G. Lopez) (Dot 16166), which continues to enjoy considerable airplay during the Christmas season. [1] |
