| | Billboard.com - Biography - The Beverley Sisters |
 | | With a style similar to the Andrews Sisters, female vocal group the Beverley Sisters have been singing together for nearly 70 years as a trio with no change in personnel throughout all this time. |
 | | They really are sisters: the oldest, Joy, was born on May 5, 1929, and the two younger twins, Babs (Babette) and Teddie, were both born exactly three years later on the May 5, 1932, all in Bethnal Green in East London. |
 | | When the war was over, the BBC began broadcasting television from Alexandra Palace, and the Beverley Sisters were early hits of the new medium, always singing live -- although they retained their humble roots, with their mother making all their costumes due to the rationing of clothes that had continued long after the war. |
