After the success of Little Pattie’s debut double-A-side single He’s My Blonde Headed, Stompie Wompie, Real Gone Surfer Boy / Stompin’ at Maroubra, which she recorded when she was 14 years old, more hits followed, like We’re Gonna Have a Party Tonight, Pushin’ a Good Thing Too Far and Dance Puppet Dance.
Pattie appeared regularly on television variety programs, including Bandstand, and toured supporting Col Joye and the Joy Boys.
Little Pattie was entertaining troops during the Vietnam War in Nui Dat, Vietnam, as an Australia Forces Sweetheart, when the nearby Battle of Long Tan began on 18 August 1966. In 1994 she received the Vietnam Logistic and Support Medal “in recognition of her services in support of the Australian Armed Forces in operations in Vietnam.”
