Info from an online hillbilly site interview with Norma Lee.
Norma Lee, a native of Olympia, Washington, who recorded "Paper Boy" and "You Belong To Me" in the late 1950s.Lead guitar player on both sides of that recording was James Burton, who was a part of the legendary Ricky Nelson's band. When she was about 13 yea...rs old, she (known as Norma Palm at the time) was paired with Linda Robinson and they were known as the Harmony Sweethearts. At that time, Norma and Linda were playing at the Fort Lewis Army Base with then PFC Ray "red" Hilbreth, Bobby Carl and "The Rhymthm Riders". The girls later had their own television show over KTVW-TV out of Tacoma, Washington called "Harmony Sweetheart Time". The Harmony Sweethearts were just about to sign with Decca Records. Norma's partner, Linda, decided she did not want to stay in the music business. For Norma, it was a pretty traumatic time, but she decided to forge on as a solo artist. Eventually she moved back to Olympia WA and continued playing the NW until the 90's.
