Biography
Jan Panter belonged to the wave of female vocalists who descended on London in the first half of the 1960s and whose releases flooded the British market during those years. Unlike most of them, however, she was a native Londoner. Her first record appeared in 1965 when Oriole—then nearing its demise—issued her version of “My Two Arms -- You = Tears,” the Mary Wells composition. In 1966 she teamed with producer Mark Wirtz for the session that yielded “Put Yourself in My Place,” the most prominent of the four singles she eventually cut; Malcolm Baumgart and Mick Patrick note in their liner text for Here Come the Girls that Wirtz also contemplated renaming her Charlotte Green.
