The Fontane Sisters were a trio (Bea, Geri and Marge Rosse) from New Milford, New Jersey.[2] Originally they performed with their guitarist brother Frank (1941–1944), but he was killed in World War II. Beginning in 1948, they were featured on a radio show and television show done by Perry Como known as The Chesterfield Supper Club and later (1949–1954) as The Perry Como Show.[3]
In 1949 they were signed by RCA Records, and did some recordings as backup to Como. In 1951 they had a minor hit with "The Tennessee Waltz", of which bigger selling recordings were made by Patti Page and Les Paul and Mary Ford.
In 1954 they switched to Randy Wood's Dot Records, where they had 18 songs in the Billboard Hot 100, including ten in the Top 40. Their 1954 recording, "Hearts of Stone", sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.[4]
Please note all vinyl is wrapped in tissue, packed separate from sleeve and sent in a 7” mailer & stiffener added for support.
