The Paris Sisters - What Am I To Do
The Paris Sisters bridged the gap separating the traditional vocal pop of the post-World War II era from the equally generation-defining girl group sound that emerged in the wake of rock & roll. By the 1961 release of their Phil Spector-produced breakthrough "I Love How You Love Me," the siblings were already longtime veterans of the music business. Albeth (the oldest), Sherrell (the middle child), and Priscilla Paris (the baby) were born and raised in San Francisco. Their mother, Faye, was the quintessential stage parent, a former opera singer who continued her career vicariously through her children. The Paris Sisters got their start singing and dancing at local Air Force showcases, and circa 1953 they made their recorded debut with a pair of singles for the tiny Cavalier label: "The Bully, Bully Man" (a tie-in with local radio personality Red Blanchard) and the seasonal effort "Christmas in My Home Town." In 1954, their mother engineered a backstage visit during an Andrews Sisters performance at the Warfield Theater, and the trio was so impressed by the Paris siblings' uncanny imitations of their hits that they were invited on-stage for encore performances of the canteen classics "Rum and Coca Cola" and "Beer Barrel Polka." An MCA Records executive in the audience signed the Paris Sisters to the label's Decca imprint immediately thereafter, and the single "Ooh La La" appeared by year's end.
Despite the snowballing popularity of rock & roll, the Paris Sisters' early Decca efforts adhered to the increasingly old-fashioned vocal harmony approach popularized by the Andrews Sisters and the McGuire Sisters. As a result, their singles earned little notice. Although their records fared poorly, the Paris Sisters toured relentlessly, appearing at county fairs, USO showcases, and even in Las Vegas, casino performances made possible with the aid of falsified birth certificates, makeup, and padded bras. After their seventh Decca single, 1956's "Daughter, Daughter," the label terminated the Paris Sisters' contract, and the siblings signed with Imperial to release 1957's "Old Enough to Cry," quickly followed by "My Original Love." Imperial opted to cut its losses then and there, and the Paris girls did not make another record for four years. When they finally resurfaced on Lester Sill's fledgling Gregmark label in 1961, the impresario insisted on a top-to-bottom overhaul of their approach, tapping up-and-coming producer Phil Spector to shepherd the transformation. Spector relegated Albeth and Sherrell to the background, and while he turned the spotlight on Priscilla, he insisted she dial back her powerful voice to a dusky whisper.
While the Paris Sisters' Gregmark debut, "Be My Boy," earned little notice, the follow-up, "I Love How You Love Me," cracked the U.S. Top Five, galvanized by Priscilla's intimate lead turn and Spector's atypically restrained production. After the 1962 singles "He Knows I Love Him Too Much" and "What Am I to Do" also generated positive response at radio and retail, Spector began work on a Paris Sisters LP, but as production costs began to skyrocket, Sill attempted to exert control of the project. Their skirmish ended disastrously when, according to Sill, one of his assistants accidentally discarded the master tapes, although rumors persist of a far more nefarious outcome. Either way the Paris Sisters suffered the most damage, and while their relationship with Sill disintegrated under the threat of litigation, the siblings did not make another record until 1964, signing with MGM to cut a cover of the Bobby Darin smash "Dream Lover" overseen by Spector's erstwhile arranger Jack Nitzsche. After a pair of singles for Mercury, "When I Fall in Love" and "Always Waitin'," they signed to Reprise, which paired them with Nitzsche and production partner Jimmy Bowen -- though a commercial failure, the Paris Sisters' 1967 Reprise LP Everything Under the Sun!!! remains an unsung classic of the waning girl group era, featuring several original songs written by Priscilla herself.
Not surprisingly, Priscilla released her debut solo single, "He Noticed Me," on the York label shortly after Everything Under the Sun!!! belly-flopped. The solo LP Priscilla Sings Herself soon followed, and she closed out 1967 with Priscilla Sings Billy, a tribute to jazz immortal Billie Holiday. The Paris Sisters reunited the following year to release "Stark Naked Clown" on the GNP Crescendo imprint. "Golden Days," a 1968 one-off for Capitol, proved to be the siblings' swan song. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

    the movie is drear - with an inadequate Dick Sargent as leading man - and the more charismatic Pat Boone as one of the group - if it weren't for Pat singing a couple of his hits ("Love Letters in the Sand" and "Bernadine") - this film would be justly forgotten - - you've just watched 3 of the only 5-and-a-half worthwhile minutes of the movie - - the extracted scene of "Love Letters in the Sand" can be found on youtube words and music were written by the great Johnny Mercer who grudgingly announced it would be his only excursion into rock n roll

    Well, he sure wasn't underrated in the looks department!! Sad ass story that this man's life was in shambles. He said in an early interview that no one would ever know how lonely it was to be this iconic teenage heartthrob and be the loneliest person on the planet. He said that it was a dream come true when he and his step- mom Shirley were asked to be on this new sitcom called The Partridge Family! Not only was it a huge hit, but it was loads of fun at the same time. The best part of doing the show was that he was able to show his talent as a singer, too. After a while, he realized that although the show was great, he was burned out and that his true passion was to be a singer. David left the show, but soon realized that he'd waited to late, and like so many other child actors, when they were ready to pursue bigger more serious roles, most were left with nothing but broken dreams, and soon forgotten. So many unfortunately turned to alcohol and drugs. Soon after becoming addicted, without work, and dead broke. Hollywood showed up, of course, but not for the reasons that brought hopes and dreams back to these shattered lives, no, far worse, to show the world that they had made the right decision by not employing these once talented actors & actresses. David unfortunately fell into this group of the fallen and addicted. David's dreams were gone, and he soon found that after his performances that to cope with his loneliness, alcohol helped him to better cope. Soon enough David was now depending on alcohol. David was now drinking when he got up, before going on stage, during his performances, and after. Soon he was having alcohol induced blackouts and finally unable to work any longer. David was in and out of rehabs, and the cycle of alcoholism, and like most alcoholics he began denying he had a problem, was sneaking and hiding his many bottles of alcohol wherever he could. David Cassidy died from complications due to his years of heavy drinking and ended up dying from chirossis of the liver. 😢

    I've saved a lot of vinyl over the years, but the ones I miss the most are The Partridge Family albums. I was 10 when the first one came out and I listened to it over and over and over. Those albums planted the seed for me to become a multi-instrumental musician, taught me about song structure, verses, choruses, harmonies, drum breaks, etc. I believe The Wrecking Crew were the LA studio musicians on these albums and I couldn't have had better teachers. I could tell by watching Jeremy Gelbwaks on TV that he definitely didn't know how to play the drums. I saw Hal Blaine's name on the liner notes as the drummer, and wondering if he was a cool dude. When I listen to PF songs now, it takes me right back to sitting on the floor with a record player and dropping that needle over and over. 10 years old, singing at the top of my lungs. Pure joy.

      I was fortunate to meet him in 1993 at Tower Records in Philly when he was on a promotional tour for the 20th anniversary of one of the Partridge Family albums, and I found him to be a sweet man, who had no problem signing my original PF album, which I bought as a 13 yr old in 1970, along with the Christmas card from the PF Christmas album and several photos I took when I saw him at Atlantic City's "old" Steel Pier, where he appeared in concert in August, 1971. We also chatted a bit and he chuckled when I, then 36, told him that had I met him 20 years prior, that they would have had to peel me off the floor. Funny how we see people and things differently as we mature. Sweet memories of an extremely talented, but, ultimately, tragic man. So sad that he left this world far too soon and under such heartbreaking circumstances.
