CASTLE SISTERS

CASTLE SISTERS
They were born in a small town called Charleroi, PA and moved to NYC in the 1950's and recorded many singles there - "Goodbye Dad" ranked the highest, I think. They also went by "The Kossol Sisters" but I'm not sure which name came first.

After their brief singing career they turned to singing in their churches. One of the sisters actually passed away (in 2009) earlier this year but the other two are still singing and going strong.

Ganz wenig Biographisches:
Audrey Kossol, Joan "Joanie" Kossol, und Josephine "Josie" Kossol, drei Schwestern aus einer sehr kinderreichen Familie aus Charleroi, Pennsylvania, bildeten im Jahre 1956 ein Gesangs-Trio und brachten bei EPIC als The Kossol Sisters zwei Singles auf den Markt, um zwei Jahre später als The Castle Sisters bei ROULETTE fortzusetzen.
Audrey And Joan dürften, zumindest im Jahre 2010, noch als Duett in diversen Kirchenchören aktiv gewesen sein. Lediglich Josephine, geschiedene Barnes und danach verehelichte Olsen, ist bereits am 18. April 2009 mit 74 Jahren an Krebs verstorben.
