The group was founded by <a href="spotify:artist:6tCLlETI9Jo0F6wmxaP0x7">Ruth "Baby Sis" Davis</a> in Philadelphia. Other members included Alfreda, <a href="spotify:artist:5dQ1Nna40fyg3rRANBp6j1">Audrey</a>, and Thelma Davis; Imogene Greene; Curtis Dublin on piano; Jackie Verdell, lead vocalist. They recorded for the Savoy label until 1962. Verdell recorded secular sides for Peacock 1961-1964. Though a quintet, they sounded like a small choir with their full sound. Four members died in separate but tragic fashions. One was burned to death. <a href="spotify:artist:6tCLlETI9Jo0F6wmxaP0x7">Ruth</a> died in 1970, while still a young woman, after fighting diabetes, liver disease, and kidney disease. ~ Bil Carpenter, Rovi
