The Paris Sisters, born Albeth Filtzer in 1935, Sherrell Filtzer in 1940, and Priscilla Filtzer in 1941, are an American girl group from San Francisco. The daughters of an operatic singer, the sisters adopted the stage name "Paris" after their paternal grandmother's maiden name, Peres. Their mother trained them as singers and accompanied them on piano.
In 1954, Decca Records released eight singles under the name The Paris Sisters; however, these recordings were unsuccessful. They later signed with Imperial Records in 1957 and 1958, but these releases also failed to gain traction. In March 1961, their first single "Be My Boy"n was released by Gregmark Records, produced by Phil Spector. The song reached umber 56 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their subsequent singles with Gregmark, including "I Love How You Love Me", achieved notable success, peaking at number 5 on the same chart in August 1961. After their contract with Gregmark ended in late 1962, The Paris Sisters appeared in Richard Lester's film Ring-A-Ding Rhythm and toured with Dion and the Marvelettes. In 1964, they released "Dream Lover" through MGM Records, which reached number 91 on the Billboard Hot 100. They continued to release singles and albums through various labels until 1968. After disbanding in the early 1970s, Priscilla Paris died in 2004 at age 59.
