The Dale Sisters were an English vocal trio, who had limited chart success in the early 1960s. They are best remembered for their recordings of "Heartbeat"[1] and "My Sunday Baby (un Telegrama)", both of which became minor hits in the UK Singles Chart.[2] Other songs they sang included "Billy Boy, Billy Boy", "Road to Love"[3] and "All My Life".[4] Their work, when they were billed by their alternative name of The England Sisters, was arranged by John Barry.[5]

The Dale Sisters
Also known as	The England Sisters
Born	Betty: 1939 Hazel: 1942 Julie: 1941 Goole, Yorkshire, England
Genres	Traditional pop
Years active	1959–1963

They were born in Goole, Yorkshire, as Betty, Hazel and Julie Dunderdale, a name they later shortened to become the Dale Sisters.[6] In July 1959, they won a talent contest which was organised by The People, at Butlins, Filey. Later that year they made their first London appearance at the Lyceum Theatre.[7] They were on the bill with Helen Shapiro and The Brook Brothers at the Odeon Theatre, Halifax on 7 April 1962, as part of a national tour.[8] In January 1963, they played the Two Red Shoes Ballroom, Elgin, Scotland, just a week after The Beatles appeared there.[9] Their UK television show appearances included Thank Your Lucky Stars with Adam Faith, John Leyton, The Brooks Brothers, Geoff Goddard and Dion in 1961.[10]

The Dale Sisters tracks "My Sunday Baby (un Telegrama)" and "All My Life" appeared on the compilation album, Say When - Ember Sixties Pop Vol. 1 1960-1961.[11][12]

They are not to be confused with a similar named, latter day American singing group composed of Ann, Lorri, Lynne, and Amy Dale.[13]
