The Beverley Sisters
The Beverley Sisters were an English female close harmony traditional pop vocal and light entertainment trio, consisting of three sisters from London. They were eldest sister Joy (born Joycelyn Victoria Barbara Chinery; 4 May 1924 – 31 August 2015), and twins Teddie (born Hazel Pamela Chinery; 5 May 1927) and Babs (born Babette Patricia Chinery; 5 May 1927 – 28 October 2018). The sisters were each appointed MBE in 2006.
The Beverley Sisters were most popular during the 1950s and 1960s, and became well-known through their radio and television appearances. Their style was loosely modelled on that of their American counterparts, The Andrews Sisters. Their notable successes included the Irving Berlin-penned "Sisters" and the Christmas songs "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", "Little Donkey", and "Little Drummer Boy", while in the United States, they charted with a version of "Greensleeves". They also toured the cabaret circuit, and were known for their matching outfits, which they wore both on- and off-stage.
