Lucia Pamela was a musician with a long and bizarre career: she learned piano from her classic pianist mother, led Lucia Pamela and her Musical Pirates (reportedly the first all-female orchestra), formed the vocal duo The Pamela Sisters with her daughter (who would later own the Los Angeles Rams football team!), and apparently had memorized over 10,000 songs. But given all her other achievements (winning the “Miss St. Louis” title, working in vaudeville and Ziegfeld Follies, hosting radio shows in Kansas City and Fresno), she only ever got around to recording one LP: Into Outer Space with Lucia Pamela, a strange concept album about her trip to the moon (which she naturally claimed was based on true events). Included with the release was a coloring book drawn by Lucia herself — the entirety of which is available by clicking above.Lucia Pamela was a musician with a long and bizarre career: she learned piano from her classic pianist mother, led Lucia Pamela and her Musical Pirates (reportedly the first all-female orchestra), formed the vocal duo The Pamela Sisters with her daughter (who would later own the Los Angeles Rams football team!), and apparently had memorized over 10,000 songs.
