Three X Sisters, забытые радио-звезды 1930х
Трио первоначально называлось The Hamilton Sisters and Fordyce, потому что состояло из сестер Pearl и Violet Hamilton и Jessie Fordyce.
"Спелись" они довольно рано, еще в начале 20х, и успешно выступали и записывались в течение почти 25 лет.
Во времена Великой Депрессии, в 1930 х годах, это трио просто царило на радио. Певицы пели не только на радио, но и в мультфильмах, а также снялись в нескольких короткометражных фильмах, благодаря чему мы сейчас имеем небольшую возможность посмотреть их выступление.
Песенка называется "Rex And His Sound Effects" (Рекс и его звуковые эффекты) и повествует о талантливом, но немного незадачливом мастере звуковых эффектов на радио.
Отрадно, что на радио Three X Sisters все же помнят - вот недавняя запись современного лондонского вокального (радио) трио Haywood Sisters, исполняющих эту же песню в память о родоначальницах женских "сестринских" вокальных групп.
