The Paris Sisters

about

The Paris Sisters were Albeth, Priscilla, and Sherrell Paris, a soft-voiced sister trio from San Francisco, California. The group was formed in the early '50s due to the aspirations of their opera singing mother. Mrs. Paris had quit a career at San Francisco Milano Opera Company to raise the three girls as singers, training them around the family piano.

Unable to not notice, The Andrew Sisters put the girls on stage to perform. The three pre-teen sisters preceded to wow the audience with their version of the Andrew Sisters' "Rum and Coca Cola." An MCA Records agent was in the audience and soon had them on the road playing USO shows and fairs along the California coast. In 1954-'55 they recorded pop singles like "Ooh La La" and "Huckleberry Pie" for Decca. Soon thereafter, The Paris Sisters found themselves in Las Vegas working as a lounge act from midnight to seven in the morning at the ages of nine (Priscilla), ten (Albeth), and fifteen (Sherrell). Wigs, padded bras and hips, lots of make up, and false eyelashes hid their youth and their dad's ability to revise their birth certificates, since he worked at the hospital where they were born. They sang at the Dunes with Frank Sinatra and the Frontier with a young Elvis Presley. In 1957, they recorded "Ol
