  • King Sister Yvonne Burch Dies at 89
    King Sister Yvonne Burch dies at 89 (AP) – 4 hours ago SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Yvonne King Burch, who gained early fame as one of the singing King Sisters during the big band era before launching her entire extended musical clan into show business as the King Family, has died. She was 89. Burch died in a Santa Barbara hospital Sunday, where she was taken for injuries she suffered in a fall last week, said her daughter, Tina Cole. Burch was the matriarch of the King Family, a popular and enduring show business dynasty. She spent three decades singing and recording with the King Sisters, one of the most popular vocal groups of the 1930s and 1940s. A Grammy nomination for their Capitol Records album "Imagination" capped the group's career in 1959. In 1963, Burch conceived and produced a benefit concert with her sisters and three dozen relatives including brothers, husbands, wives, aunts, uncles and children that marked the debut of the King Family. The King Family appeared on "The Hollywood Palace" before headlining their own TV special. Strong fan response led to two variety series and 17 specials during the 1960s and 1970s. The family appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" and performed with entertainment legends, including Bing Crosby and Dean Martin. Besides landing a national concert tour, the clan recorded five albums for Warner Brothers. The family showcased its multigenerational talent with performances by the King Cousins and the King Kiddies. The King Sisters performed and toured with big bands led by Horace Heidt and Artie Shaw before starting their own orchestra with Luise King's husband, Alvino Rey.

  • The King Sisters
    THE KING SISTERS : A CHAPTER FROM THE HISTORY OF HARMONY By David W. McCain The recent death of Yvonne King of the King Sisters prompted me once again to observe that when you trace “the history of harmony” back to its roots, those roots more often than not end with the names of Martha, Connie and Vet Boswell. Like the Andrews Sisters, the King Sisters admired and were inspired by the Boswells and went on to develop their own particular blend and style which carried them to well-deserved fame and fortune. The rich harmonies of the King Sisters are a delight to experience, and to me they are the most musically interesting female harmony group after the Boswells. A quartette, the King Sisters had a full-bodied blend reminiscent of the Boswells. (The Boswells always sound like more than three voices to me because of the heaviness and depth of both Martha and Connie’s contralto lines). It’s interesting to note that in 1944 Connie (by then she was “Connee”) told John Lucas for a Downbeat cover story that originally the Boswells had wanted to form a quartette, and how they had searched for someone to take the fourth part! Lucas rather understatedly surmised, “Fortunately, I think, they found no one who satisfied their requirements.” Maybe their search for a fourth voice was because they had been raised on the barbershop quartette singing of Mama and Papa Boswell with their Uncle Charlie and Aunt Mattie (two brothers who had married two sisters), so the thought of creating a vocal trio was at first rather foreign to them.

Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Norma Teagarden dated March 28, 1994.
