Notes

The original 1967 musical version of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown featured the original Patty (pre-Peppermint Patty) as part of the Peanuts gang. As characters like Patty, Violet and Shermy gradually faded from the group, Charles Schulz opted replace the lesser known characters with Sally and Marcie.
