The Paris Sisters’ honey-coated harmonies formed a bridge between the sweet sounds of such pre-rock groups as the McGuire Sisters (“Sincerely”) and the saucy rhythms of true “girl groups” like the Angels (“My Boyfriend’s Back”). Comprised of three real-life sisters — Priscilla, Albeth, and Sherrell — the group began recording for Decca in the mid-’50s and reached their commercial zenith with a handful of singles for the Gregmark label, all produced by a young Phil Spector — before he built his famous “Wall Of Sound.” One of those singles, “I Love How You Love Me,” became one of the best-loved songs of the ’60s.
After Gregmark, the Paris Sisters recorded for a variety of labels before settling at Reprise in 1965. Working with Jack Nitzsche (another Phil Spector alumnus) and legendary mover-and-shaker Jimmy Bowen, they waxed a series of singles culminating in 1967 with Sing Everything Under The Sun, the definitive album of their career. Among the tracks were four Priscilla Paris originals plus chestnuts from Gerry Goffin and Carole King, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, and the estimable Burt Bacharach. Anchored by Priscilla’s seductive purr, the Paris Sisters stamp these songs with their smooth-but-sexy trademark.
Initially a commercial flop, Everything Under The Sun has grown in stature over the years, becoming a highly sought-after rarity — until now. Thanks to Eric Records, it’s available again, mastered in brilliant stereo from the original master tapes.
This CD reissue includes a 16-page booklet with color photos, new liner notes, and a special memorial tribute written by Albeth and Sherrell Paris to their recently departed sister, Priscilla.
