The Kaye Sisters were a trio of United Kingdom pop singers, who scored several hits on the UK Singles Chart in the late 1950s and early 1960s. ==Career== The Kaye Sisters were formed in 1954. They got their name and their start in the music industry from their manager, Carmen Kaye.〔 They were also often billed as The Three Kayes or just The Kayes. The three members dressed in matching dress outfits and wore the same blonde haircuts, and became a popular vocal group on par with the Beverley Sisters.〔(The Kaye Sisters ) at 45rpm.org〕 Two of their biggest hits were recorded with Frankie Vaughan. A television appearance in 1956 rocketed them to stardom, and their first recording, "Ivory Tower", peaked at number 20 in the UK Singles Chart. Other singles followed, including "Got-Ta Have Something in the Bank, Frank" (1957), "Are You Ready, Freddy?" (1958) and "Goodbye Jimmy Goodbye" (1959).〔 The trio were headliners in top London cabaret clubs such as Churchill's and the Colony Club, and in variety supported such leading stars as Frankie Howerd, Tommy Cooper and Ken Dodd. They were popular in Blackpool summer seasons throughout the 1960s and 1970s, where they co-starred with Josef Locke, Dick Emery and, in two seasons, with Larry Grayson. In 1992 they returned to the resort to top the bill of the South Pier's Golden Showstoppers.〔 They appeared with Judy Garland in the 1957 Royal Variety Show, and in the United States appeared as guests on ''The Ed Sullivan Show''. The Kaye Sisters were in demand in later years on nostalgia shows. In the 1970s they often appeared on Max Bygraves’ variety bills, notably co-starring with him in ''SingalongaMax'' at the Victoria Palace Theatre in 1972.〔 They recorded several albums, including ''Presenting the Kaye Sisters'' (1958) and ''Kaye Sisters Favourites'' (1960). Sheila Jones left the act in the late 1960s, but they carried on with a replacement, Gilly. The original act reformed in 1992 for a Glenn Miller tribute tour.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Kaye Sisters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
