About The Brian Sisters
Naturally you all want
to know more about the Brian Sisters as individuals,
even though we nearly always see them as a trio (the
exceptions were Little Miss Broadway and
Love Affair).Their sibling closeness is one reason why they were so good together as a trio, managing to sing even the most difficult songs in perfect harmony, each one 'just knowing' what notes the others would sing.
It was, however, common for their different looks to confuse people as to whether they really were sisters.
Of course they are!
Here is all that you want to know about them (further questions? Please ask):
