The DeCastro Sisters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The DeCastro Sisters were a female singing group: they consisted of Peggy, Cherie, and Babette DeCastro. (When Babette retired in 1958, a cousin, Olgita DeCastro Marino, replaced her.)
In 1945, the DeCastro family moved to the United States from Cuba. The sisters became protegees of Carmen Miranda, and formed a singing trio in Miami, Florida. They had a style something like the then-popular Andrews Sisters, but with a Latin flavor.
The biggest hit of the group was "Teach Me Tonight," in 1954.
Peggy, the eldest of the group, died March 6, 2004 of lung cancer at age 82.
Olgita died on February 14, 2000 at age 65.
