The Paris Sisters - Best of - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Back In The 1950s, The Beverley Sisters Were The Most Popular, Highest-Earning Female Entertainers In The UK. Although They Viewed Themselves As Essentially A Live Act - Preferring Cabaret, Summer Seasons And Television Work - Rather Than Recording Artists, They Cut Plenty Of Records. This Unique Compilation Pulls Together The Very Best Of Their Output For Columbia, Philips, Decca And Columbia (Again), Between 1951-1962, The Very First Time This Body Of Work Has Been Thus Assembled. Includes Their Biggest UK Hits 'The Ferry Boat Inn', 'Teasin', 'I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus', 'Willie Can', 'I Dreamed', 'Long Black Nylons', 'Little Drummer Boy', 'Little Donkey' And 'Green Fields'. Also Includes Their One-Off US Hit, 'Greensleeves', Alongside Signature Songs Like 'We Have To Be So Careful' (Which Was, Bizarrely, Banned By The BBC), 'Sisters' And 'It's Illegal, It's Immoral, Or It Makes You Fat'. This Is An Absolute Must-Have For Beverley's Fans.

The high school sweethearts of '50s and '60s Americana get the retrospective collection they deserve with this wonderful and nostalgic best-of album.

With their sweet, polished harmonies, cat-eye makeup and beehive hairdos, The Ronettes added a tough, New York street flavor to the girl group model of the early 60s. Spector originally employed them as backup singers for other Philles artists, but when their first single InchBe My BabyInch became an international sensation in late 63, they quickly became Philles leading group.
