Star Sisters : Stars on 45
I notice lately a lot of 'Google searches' to the Star Sisters.And because somehow my simple Blog seems tot score high on Google (can someone explain in a comment to me why/how ?) a lot (or is it just one person ?) come to my site.
Patricia Paay, her sister Yvonne (later on also known as Yvonne Keely and married to Steve Harley...) and friend Sylvana Van Veen were The Star Sisters at the time and did a nice act as the Andrew Sisters with 1940s voices and music style.
Dutch producer Jaap Eggermont produced before several Stars on 45 medley's.
He saw Patricia (later married to Adam Curry), Yvonne and their mother appearing on a TV show by Ivo Niehe as a kind of joke with an Andrews Sisters act.
So he decided to make a single with them. Mother didn't wanted to go along so Sylvana joined in (although the singing was done just by Patricia and Yvonne).
The title became "Stars On 45 proudly presents the Star Sisters" and for the first time his "Stars on 45" serie had a 'real face'.
They made two more hits with medleys "Hooray For Hollywood" en "A Tribute For Marilyn Monroe".
Sylvana was later on kicked out and replaced by Ingrid Ferdinandusse. They made more records but those didn't became hits.
Go to my archives 2006_november_11 where I wrote about the LP which was issued after that huge succes of that first single. It's a real 'gem'.
Have fun again.
