Timeline

1936

Royden Dickey Lipscomb (born September 21, 1936), known professionally as Dickey Lee (sometimes misspelled Dickie or Dicky), is an American pop/country singer and songwriter, best known for the 1960s teenage tragedy songs "Patches" and "Laurie (Strange Things Happen)".

1957

Lee made his first two recordings, "Dream Boy" and "Stay True Baby", in his hometown of Memphis for Tampa Records, later released two songs for Sun Records in, although the song were only regional hits.

1962

He moved to Texas, and achieved his first chart success in 1962, when his composition with Steve Duffy "She Thinks I Still Care" was a hit for George Jones (later recorded by Elvis Presley, Connie Francis, Leon Russell, and later Anne Murray as "He Thinks I Still Care").

Glen Campbell also recorded it for his final album, Adios, and the song has remained a country standard.

Later that year, "Patches", written by Barry Mann and Larry Kobler and recorded by Lee for Smash Records, rose to No. 6. The song tells in waltz-time the story of teenage lovers of different social classes whose parents forbid their love.

The girl drowns herself in the "dirty old river".

The singer concludes: "It may not be right, but I'll join you tonight/ Patches I'm coming to you."

Because of the teen suicide theme, the song was banned by a number of radio stations.
