Nothing is known about Marsha Gee who appears to have released this solitary 45. A catchy mid 60s girlie skip-a-long sound so popular in the mid 70s at large all-nighter venues.
The Peanut Duck record credited to her is NOT Marsha Gee. Peanut Duck was a Virtue studio acetate that was bootlegged in UK on Joker in 80s and 'covered-up' as Marsha Gee. The singer of Peanut Duck is still unknown but what is known is that it isn't Marsha Gee. It got an 'official'? release in 2005 on Penniman using a model on the picture sleeve. There is also an 'illegal'? reissue on Disque D'Or from 1998

This has never officially been released as it was originally discovered on a Virtue studio acetate. I am guessing by DJ Mark 'Butch' Dobson given that the bootleg has Butch Music on it? Virtue Studios offered a service whereby anyone could pay a fee and come in and record 2 sides and either release it on the Virtue label or a label of their your own. Therefore it is pretty difficult to track down who this artist really is unless the someone involved recognises it ... and after nearly 40 years I guess that is going to be unlikely now?
