[edit] Formation

Riss Chantelle formed The Lana Sisters in 1958, along with Lynne Abrams. They put up an advert for a third member and got a reply from Mary O’Brien – Dusty Springfield, who would go on to popular solo success a few years later.

They were managed by Evelyn Taylor, as they toured around Ireland. They appeared on the BBC's “Drumbeat” with Adam Faith and John Barry, and later took part in a Christmas special "Tommy Steele’s Spectacular" with the song "Seven Little Girls Sitting In The Back Seat".

They appeared twice at the Royal Albert Hall and toured with Cliff Richard, Adam Faith, and Morecambe & Wise.
