- Before The Supremes, Before The Andrews Sisters, copied by many white girl groups of the time, The Pope Sisters were 4 beautiful, vivacious, talented sisters with great voices but because of the prejudices of the time, the sisters weren't able to become the superstars they deserve to be like the white sisters groups, most of whom copied their style, but The Pope Sisters opened the doors for the black girl groups sensation of the 1960s that would come. The Pope Sisters were definitely trailblazers!

Outstanding girls singers for Hollywood historical archives! Merci beaucoup from Paris France
An incredible historical social singing strike! Merci beaucoup!
Reminds me a lot of the Pointer Sisters when they begin with four of them in jazz mode. They must have been influenced by the Pope Sisters.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Thank you!
Thank you.
Outstanding historical colored She rendering! Yes! They can do it.
One of them is related to Shavel Pope aka Guce?
RIP Una Pope Tuttle
Now I see where Sanford and son got it!!! Lol
Never heard of them - before the Dandridge Sisters?
Yes. You never heard of them because they wouldn’t let too many black girl groups make it. But they were popular for awhile in black clubs and theaters. Racism deprived this world of many great black talent.
