[Dixielandjazz] The Kim Sisters

[Robert Ringwald]

Presenting... The Kim Sisters
KNPR (Nevada), March 27, 2014
They called themselves "The Kim Sisters" -- three lovely ladies from Korea with matching
dresses, slick up-dos, and big smiles. They sang and danced in the spirit of the
Andrews Sisters, and America loved it. Ed Sullivan had them on his show 21 times,
and they performed at the Stardust and Thunderbird Hotels. One of the surviving sisters,
Sook-Ja "Sue" Kim Bonifazio, joins us to talk about showbiz in the 1960s, how they
were successful in an era of all-white groups, and how three little Korean girls
who used to sing for U.S. troops made it big in America.
