Born in Burbank, California into a show business family, Dolenz is the daughter of Micky Dolenz of the 1960s group the Monkees, and British television presenter Samantha Juste.
She came from South London and, with Samantha Juste, who co-hosted BBC television's Top of the Pops, was one of two British female vocalists signed to Strike or (in Juste's case) its subsidiary, Go.
Among Phillips' other songs is "No One Needs My Love Today" (1966), which was recorded by Samantha Juste, co-host of BBC TV's, Top of the Pops.
There are references in the song to the Beatles ("the four kings of EMI") and to others such as Cass Elliot of the Mamas and Papas and Dolenz's future wife, Top of the Pops "disc girl" Samantha Juste.
