PATIENCE And PRUDENCE / PRUDENCE

Tonight You Belong To Me / A Smile And A Ribbon

.

▪︎Patience Ann McIntyre (born August 15, 1942) and Prudence Ann McIntyre (born July 12, 1945) known professionally as Patience and Prudence , are two sisters who were a young vocal duo active from 1956 to 1964.

As youngsters , the girls studied piano and learned to read music . In the summer of 1956 , their father brought 11-year-old Prudence and 14-year-old Patience into the Liberty Records Studio in Los Angeles .

The duo made a demo recording of the song  " Tonight You Belong To Me " which had been a hit for Gene Austin in 1927 . Liberty signed them and immediately released a recording of the girls singing the song as a commercial single (with the B-Side , " A Smile And A Ribbon " ) and by September the song reached #4 on the Billboard Charts and #28 in the UK Singles Chart and was the biggest selling record put out by Liberty for two years. It sold over one million copies and reached Gold Record Status . It went on to become one of the best-selling in-store singles in the United States in September 1956.
