The group consisted of lead singer Priscilla Paris (January 4, 1941 – March 5, 2004); her older sister Albeth Carole Paris; and their middle sister Sherrell Paris.[1] They reached the peak of their success in October 1961 with the hit single "I Love How You Love Me", which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart,[2] and sold over one million copies.[3] Some of the group's other hit songs include the US Top 40 single "He Knows I Love Him Too Much" (March 1962, No. 34), "All Through The Night" (1961),[4] "Be My Boy" (No. 56), "Let Me Be The One" (No. 87), and "Dream Lover" (No. 91).[5]

The Paris Sisters appeared in the 1962 British rock film It's Trad, Dad!

Sherrell Paris later served as a production assistant on The Price Is Right, and as host Bob Barker's personal assistant, until she was released in 2000.[8]

Priscilla Paris died on March 5, 2004, from injuries suffered in a fall at her home in Paris. She was 63.[9]
