Originally known as the Bagelman Sisters, Claire and Myrna Barry were popular Yiddish jazz singers made popular in the 1940s-1960s on the New York Radio Show "Yiddish Melodies in Swing", where they would sing jazz versions of Yiddish and popular American songs. During the height of their popularity, they even made appearances on the Ed Sullivan show, and were one of the few American acts to tour the former Soviet Union. Although Myrna Barry passed away several years ago, Claire Barry continues to sing and perform, and was recently featured in the NPR radio show, "Yiddish Melodies in Swing", an exhibit of the Yiddish Radio Project web site.
