Hi friends - anyone know for sure what songs Dionne, her sister and cousin may have sang on - other than "Mexican Divorce" with the Drifters?
The notes in the Drifters' ROCKIN' & DRIFTIN' boxed set also lists Dionne and family singing on LONELINESS OR HAPPINESS, LET THE MUSIC PLAY, ON BROADWAY, IN THE LAND OF MAKE BELIEVE, ONE WAY LOVE, and VAYA CON DIOS.
Thanks Reese - appreciate the quick info - tQuote:

Back ground singers seem to get left out as far as getting credit. I wonder why?
