Green grew up in a musical family – her father, Norman Sherratt, was a guitarist and her older twin sisters, Christine and Norma, were also singers.

[2] Green left school at the age of 14 years to work at a deli, and, with her father's musical backing, she recorded a demo tape.

[3][5][6] According to The Australian Women's Weekly's Ainslie Baker, Green's "Little Girl Lost" is "a slow romantic ballad, and [she] sings it sweetly".

[8] In 1964, Green married fellow rock and roll singer and Bandstand regular, Barry Stanton, with whom she had two children – a son and a daughter – before divorcing shortly thereafter.

[2] In July to August 1964, Green and Stanton supported English rock and roll entertainer Screaming Lord Sutch's tour of Australia alongside Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs, Digger Revell and Laurel Lea.

In 1999, Green was inducted into the Rock and roll Council of Western Australia's Hall of Fame, making her the first female in the state to be nominated.
