  3. I think the one in the middle is the only constant in the lineup. The other sisters came and went (when they started out, there were five or six of them), and were replaced by various cousins, daughters, etc., through the years. Their heyday was in the mid-1950's; they had the original hit of "Teach Me Tonight." After that, their bread and butter was their live act, which they took to Vegas and various top supper clubs across the globe; by the time these late 60's/70's photos were taken, though, they were playing small venues, including one tatty place in the Philippines that I have a scan of an ad for.

  4. These are the sisters themselves. BASED on what I could find, the eldest sister is on the left, the middle sister is on the right and the one in the middle is the youngest sister who just passed away.
