She was a frequent collaborator and guest vocalist with the group Thievery Corporation, and the voice on their track "Lebanese Blonde", which was popularised by its inclusion on Zach Braff's Garden State soundtrack. She was also a member of Mad Romance vocal quartet from 1983–1989. Bricker was frequently nominated for Washington Area Music Association (WAMA) honors and won as best contemporary jazz vocalist in 1999, 2000 and 2001, and best contemporary jazz album in 2001 for U-topia.[1] In 2005, Bricker committed suicide.[1][2][3] On May 2, 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 Chernobyl Relief and Development Fund. In 2007, Bricker was given WAMA's "Special Appreciation" award. Her long-time musical partner, Wayne Wilentz (with whom she recorded U-Topia), presented the award. Fellow DC-area singer and former voice student Karen Gray accepted on Bricker's behalf.
