The Clark Sisters (Ann, Binky, Peggy and Mary) recorded songs from 1959 to 1962. Formerly known as the "Sentimentalists," they sang with Tommy Dorsey and had several chart hits. While not real sisters,what set them apart as special is their ability to mimic instruments with uncanny accuracy, such as on "Sugar Blues," where they capture every nuance of the trumpet sound, muted and open. The "Beauty Shop Beat" album gave the sisters the opportunity to select their favorite numbers from groups such as the Mills Bros. ("Paper Doll"), the McGuire Sisters ("Sugartime"), the Pied Pipers ("Dream") and the Modernaires ("I've Got A Girl In Kalamazoo"), among many others. Listen to them cut loose on "Bei Mir Bist Du Schon," where they trade licks with the band!
