THE BEVERLEY SISTERS
A member of the popular British vocal trio signs this album leaf on behalf of the group
Autograph Sentiment signed: “With every good wish xxx/ Beverley Sisters” in dark blue ink, 6¼x5½. The Beverley Sisters were a British singing group who enjoyed their heyday in the 1950s and 1960s. Made up of twins Teddie and Babs Chinery and their elder sister Joy, the sisters, according to many sources, were evidently the highest paid female performer in the United Kingdom for over 20 years. A few of their most popular songs are “Sisters” and their rendition of the “Little Drummer Boy”. They began their singing career by appearing in an Ovaltine advertising campaign. Shortly afterward they auditioned for BBC radio in 1944. Following World War II, the sisters toured with Eric Winstone and his Orchestra and started appearing regularly on various BBC programs. Eventually, the BBC gave them their own series: Three Little Girls on View, which later became Those Beverley Sisters. The show ran for seven years before going off the air. Their career enjoyed a revival in the 1980s, during which time they even recorded an album: Sparkle (1985). Impressively, the sisters continued to perform into the 21st century, appearing in shows up until 2008 before retiring. Ink smudging toward right-hand side, not affecting signature. Pink album leaf containing printed cut-outs and a 3¼x5 photo of the sister affixed to verso. Lightly toned. Otherwise, fine condition.
