Kim Sisters LP on Monument

Pages: 1 2 replies

I recently discovered the Kim Sisters - a vocal act of three sisters from Korea - on an old episode of Ed Sullivan. Coincidentally, I found their debut US LP, on the Monument label, at a record show a week or two later. It's a real mixed bag, a combination of eastern/exotic things like "China Nights" and "The Hawaiian Wedding Song," some godawful schlock like "Danny Boy," and, if you can believe it, Leiber & Stoller's "Charlie Brown."

I don't know how many more albums they made. This album is from the early 60s. Checking eBay, they made a number of singles for the Monument label also.

picked that album up years ago because i like the cover.... music not so good.

The album isn't as good as their Ed Sullivan appearances. They were always great on that show.

Still I like the 4 or 5 eastern/Hawaiian tracks on the album.
