about

The Stocking Tops (also written as The Stockingtops) were a British late 60s/early 70s sister duo consisting of Yvonne Wheatman (stage name: Sue Glover) and Heather Wheatman (stage name: Sunny Leslie). They were also known as The Myrtelles, Sue & Sunny, Sue And Sunshine, Pat & Penny.

In 1965 they sang backing vocals on Alex Harvey's single "Agent OO Soul" / "Go Away Baby" (Fontana - TF 610), produced by Chris Blackwell of Island Records. In 1966, when Sunny (the younger of the pair) was still only 15, the two turned professional doing the cabaret circuit. After three years they decided that their audiences were too old for them, and went to Germany to play the airbase circuit, where, despite releasing two German singles, they still felt out of place and returned to London. Whilst in London they were asked to do a session as backing singers for Lesley Duncan. The session went well and suddenly the duo found themselves in demand, recording with, amongst many others, The Ace Kefford Stand, Dusty Springfield, Elton John, Cerrone, Love Affair, Lulu, Mott the Hoople, T. Rex, Tom Jones, David Bowie and Joe Cocker. It was the Cocker sessions, and in particular "With a Little Help from My Frie
