Faye Richmonde, born Mabel Smith on February 12, 1917 in Homestead, Pennsylvania, was an American pop and jazz singer who entered show business during the Jitterbug era. After winning the Pennsylvania Tri-State dance competition alongside her brother, she toured nationally as a professional dancer before stepping in for an ailing vocalist, launching a career as a nightclub singer. Under contract with producer Joe Davis, she recorded the albums Girlesque (1957), For Men Only (1957), and A Little Spice (1957). These releases were marketed for their suggestive themes and risqué lyrics, featuring songs such as “My Pussy Belongs to Daddy”, “If I Can't Sell It, I'll Keep Sittin' on It”, “Where Can I Find a Cherry for My Banana Split?”, and “My Daddy Don't Do Nothin' Bad”. Richmonde died on March 23, 1959 in Philadelphia following complications from the birth of her third child.
