The lovely King Sisters, hailing from Utah, were six in number, though the group usually featured four at a time, allowing for flexibility as family commitments encroached. Having been influenced by the Boswell Sisters, they sought fame and fortune in the early thirties, and began singing with bandleader Horace Heidt. Their success continued into the forties and fifties, as contemporaries of the Andrews and McGuire Sisters, and even into the 1960's, when they had their own television program, 'The King Family Show.' With their orchestra, conducted by Frank DeVol, the girls produced a slew of close harmony classics, from the wistful ballad, as in 'The Day You Came Along' and 'I Don't Know Why,' to the cheerful 'Cielito Linda,' 'You Made Me Love You' and 'Pagan Love Song'; and who could forget 'When The Swallows Came Back To Capistrano'? What a trip down memory lane! Listen to You Made Me Love You in RealAudio. |
