The
Clooney
Sisters
-
Rosemary
and
Betty
-
toured
and
recorded
with
the
Tony
Pastor
band
when
they
were
both
teenagers.
On
some
occasions
Rosemary
was
given
solo
material
and
when
it
became
apparent
that
she
was
a
major
solo
star
in
the
making,
and
not
wishing
to
hold
her
back,
Betty
returned
to
Ohio
where
she
sang
on
local
radio
before
moving
to
television.
After
The
Clooney
Sisters
disbanded
in
1949,
Rosemary
went
on
to
super
stardom
in
the
1950s
and
her
life
story
has
often
been
narrated
from
the
golden
days
through
the
dark
days
at
the
end
of
the
sixties
and
to
her
rebirth
at
the
end
of
the
seventies
when
she
resumed
a
career
that
would
last
until
her
death
in
2002.
Betty’s
own
TV
show
was
entitled
“Teen
Time”
and
she
started
to
slowly
build
a
career
of
her
own
as
a
vocalist.
There
were
occasional
link
ups
with
Rosemary,
the
odd
recording
together
and
standing
in
for
Rosie
when
she
became
ill.
By
the
mid
1950s
Betty
had
recorded
for
several
labels.
She
was
also
starring
on
Jack
Parr’s
“Morning
Show”
before
moving
to
CBS
TV
and
Radio
in
the
daily
Robert
Q.
Lewis
show
whilst
living
in
New
York.
And
then
she
retired
from
show
business
to
raise
her
family.
How
sad
it
was
then
that
Betty
died
of
a
brain
aneurism
in
1976
at
the
age
of
just
45.
Following
this
Rosemary
founded
a
living
memorial
to
her
sister
with
the
Betty
Clooney
Centre
in
Long
Beach,
California
for
brain
injured
young
adults.
Our
set
opens
with
13
tracks
by
Betty
followed
by
the
whole
of
the
Rosemary
Clooney
live
concert
album
at
the
London
Palladium
in
1955
before
the
CD
concludes
with
them
signing
off
on
a
number
together.
Well,
what
else
could
it
be?
Sisters
-
there
were
never
such
devoted
sisters.
