Sherry Sisters
Verfasst: Freitag 12. Februar 2016, 03:28
Die Sherry Sisters haben 1966 auf CBS 2136 zwei deutsche Songs veröffentlicht. Auf der A-Seite enthält sie den Titel "Tu' das nie (Pity, please)" und auf der B-Seite "Wenn wir heut nacht nach Hause geh'n (Let's take the long way home)". Beide Nummern sind auch auf Französisch auf der EP CBS 6010 als "Réfléchis (Pity, please)" bzw. "Prenons le long chemin (Let's take the long way home)" erschienen. Die englischen Originale sind nie erschienen. "Pity, please" wurde zwar aufgenommen, wurde aber nicht veröffentlicht.
Die Sherry Sisters waren Lois und Karen Klein.
Und hier ein interessanter Text, in dem allerdings der Hinweis fehlt, dass die Schwestern auch Deutsch gesungen haben.
"Karen and Lois Sherry of the Sherry Sisters had an illustrious career even before they started singing. Karen was already a 27-year-old professor with a Ph.D in Spanish, teaching Spanish literature and language at St. Peter’s College in Jersey City, New Jersey, and her younger sister Lois was studying composition at theJuilliard School of Music in New York when they had their first recording on Jamie Records in early 1972. They had also performed the song in late 1971 at the World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo, Japan—in Japanese.
Their international odyssey began when Karen Sherry, known in her teaching role under her real name of Dr. Karen Klein, entered a talent contest at the age of 16 when she was a counselor at the Catskill Mountain resort of the famous Concord Hotel in Kiamesha Lake, New York. Spotted by a booking agent, she and Lois represented the United States in the First International Song Festival in Bogata, Colombia.
This would have been the beginning of their recording careers, except that their father, a chemical-industry executive, did not want an entertainment career to interfere with his daughters’ studies. He was “strongly opposed to the idea, but finally we came to an agreement,” Karen, who writes the lyrics to her sister’s tunes, says, “If it interfered with my education I would have to give it up. It never has.”
Both daughters graduated from Brooklyn College. For Karen, a Ph.D. from Columbia ensued and then her teaching stint. Besides Spanish and Japanese, the sisters also sang in Hebrew, French, Italian, Greek and Russian.
Karen’s later career included becoming a vice-president at ASCAP and head of the music-rights organization’s foundation."(1)
