I Know My First Name Is Stephen
Message from Randy Schmidt on his “Little Girl Blue” Facebook page:
I am saddened to report on the passing of Karen Ichiuji Ramone, wife of the late Phil Ramone, and one of Karen Carpenter’s closest friends and confidantes. KC called her “Itchie,” but she was known to the entertainment world by her stage name of Karen Kamon and for her performance of "Manhunt" on the FLASHDANCE soundtrack.
On a personal note, “Itchie” was one of my most enthusiastic, generous, and important sources during the writing of LITTLE GIRL BLUE. We spent many hours on the phone, right up until my deadline with the publisher. She will be greatly missed! ❤
