Pamela Carroll Bricker (July 7, 1954–February 20, 2005) was a jazz singer, and a professor of music at George Washington University. She was a frequent collaborator and guest vocalist with the group Thievery Corporation, and the voice of their track Lebanese Blonde, which was popularised by its inclusion on Zach Braff's Garden State soundtrack. She committed suicide in 2005. A spokeswoman for the Maryland medical examiner's office said that Bricker hanged herself. Her husband, Gareth Branwyn, said she struggled with clinical depression.
Pam was frequently nominated for Washington Area Music Association honors and won five times: as best contemporary jazz vocalist in 1999, 2000 and 2001; best contemporary jazz album in 2001 for her release "U-topia."
On May 2nd, 2006, Thievery Corporation released one of Pam's last recordings called "The Passing Stars" on iTunes to raise money for Chernobyl Children's Project International and Children of Chornobyl Relief and Development Fund.
