From the back cover: One of the youngest and most versatile groups of newcomers in the grand tradition is the Laurie Sisters – Cathy, Carole and Rita. Cathy and Carole are twins; Rita is a year younger. The girls have been singing as far back as they can remember. Their first appearances were on kiddie programs on local radio stations in their native Pennsylvania. While still in high school, they sent a demonstration record to Ted Steele, New York's popular radio and television personality. The result: a six-month spot on Steele's daily TV variety show. The trio then came to the attention of bandleader Ted Lewis, who featured them in a review that played such chic locations as the Desert Inn in Las Vegas and Houston's Shamrock-Hilton. At the conclusion of the Lewis tour, the girls set out on their own. Highlighted among their numerous engagements were enormously successful appearances at Blinstrub's in Boston, the Copa Club in Pittsburgh, and New York's famed Palace Theatre. Currently the Laurie Sisters are touring the country with the popular Olsen and Johnson show.
