Throwback Thursday Musical Showcase: The Barry Sisters Sing "Nevertheless" in 1961

Today our Throwback Thursday time machine takes us back 64 years to 1961 when the Barry Sisters appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show to sing the ballad Nevertheless, written in 1931 by Harry Ruby and Bert Kalmar.

Born in the Bronx to Yiddish speaking immigrants from Kiev, Clara and Minnie Bagelman started out in show business using their real names as The Bagelman Sisters, but after awhile, Clara became Claire, Minnie became Merna, and Bagelman became Barry. They performed songs in nine languages.

Looking glamorous and sparing no expense for their orchestrations, they sang to a full house at the Concord and other Catskills resorts.

 Enjoy!
