- Sandy was one of Canada's best singers, in my opinion, but she's also one of the most unknown. She has a fantastic Brenda Lee quality to her voice. Charted at #11 on the Canadian CHUM chart in June 1962. "A Date with Loneliness" was a B-side, if you can believe it, but it's one of my very favorite records. The A-side is "The Poorest Girl in Town". Both sides of the single are too good to be B-sides, so they both should have been released as A-sides of separate singles.
Original Billboard review: "Sandy Selsie sells this country-pop weeper with feeling and emotion somewhat in the Brenda Lee style. Two impressive sides."

Never heard of her until TODAY( 1/18/2020)! I was perusing the CHUM charts and writing down songs I never heard before.This would have been a huge hit in the NYC area if anyone ever heard it in June of 1962. Thanks to Lime Popsicle!
wow....never heard of her before....amazing......
THIS IS THE FIRST RECORDING EVER MADE BY SANDY IN 1961 AT ONLY 15 YEARS OLD. SHE WAS SIGNED TO A 5 YEAR CONTRACT BY COLUMBIA AND WENT ON TO RECORD A STRING OF HITS FOR THAT LABEL. SHE WAS BORN IN RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO AND IS HAILED AS ONE OF BEST EVER FEMALE SINGERS FROM CANADA.
Where do you get your info from?
Agree with you and other posters ... she is very Brenda Lee like ... and that's a big compliment ! ... Thanks for uploading so many interesting songs and artists that I had not known of before ... great stuff ! ... Wayne
Beautiful and touching. Thanks for making us aware of Sandy, who was never played on the radio where I lived.
+Ronald Ayers You're welcome, Ronald!
I remember when this song was on the charts. A co-worker at the time told me Sandy was a girl who hailed from Richmond Hill, Ont. :) :) Her voice sounds very much like that of the great Brenda Lee!
I love these wonderful oldies! Sandy sure sounds like Brenda Lee on this one! Ms. Selsie reached Number 1 on the Canadian RPM Country Chart the week of April 26, 1965 with "I Wish That I Could Fall," which eventually spent three non-consecutive weeks at the top.
Played a lot of songs with her and my cousin ART Lock at her home in Richmond Hill back in 1958.....Great memories
I hear a bit of Brenda Lee in Sandy Selsie .
Yes
no no noooo excatly nooooooo
I have never heard of her, but she is very good , glad i stumbled upon this site...
This lady can sing and she has the sound of Brenda Lee. I like how she phrases and also the background music. At one time this was the Music that we really looked forward to hearing and seeing. Suggestion. Why not put a beautiful voice like this on the Super Bowl Half Time Show????????? This kind of music sure beats the special lighting loud amps and fog machines and fireworks. It would be a sensation to book a singer like Sandy Selsie over the loud garbage they play today.
Never heard of her , thank you !
Thank you for this lovely song and she does have a lovely voice....discovered her for the first time!
Never going to be acknowledged like she should
You're welcome, glad I can introduce you to some recordings you haven't heard!
Sweet. Glad to discover a new singer.
Would love to find a CD or LP containing all of her songs if one exists. Excellent,beautiful voice.
Wouldn't it be nice if someone put together a CD of Sandy and Pat Hervey together!! I am froom the Toronto area and as far as I am concerned neither of them received the airplay they deserved. If I remember correctly Pat attended Harbord Collegiate and I saw her perform there - but it was a loooooooooooooooooong time ago.
Glad that you like Sandy too!
An amazing voice. Sounds like Brenda Lee!
Brenda Lee double ..Great listen
Great Like Brenda Lee Style🎵
nossaaaaaaaaa como eu queria ter nascido nessa época.. as pessoas eram mais romanticas..
En mi opinión Brenda Lee, tiene un mejor registro. Sandy, no deja de ser una excelente cantante. Que gran música de
los 60´. Gracias The Lime Popsicle. PERÚ.
''perfect song'''''
Isn't this great ,My niece Sandy.
