Carol Fischer Singer - 10 de abril de 2018
The Murmaids were an American one-hit wonder all-female vocal trio composed of sisters Carol and Terry Fischer; and Sally Gordon from Los Angeles, California who, in January 1964 reached No. 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 with "Popsicles and Icicles". The Fischer sisters were 15 and 17 years old in 1963. Sally Gordon, also 17, was a friend and neighbor (another source says that all three were sisters). The Fischers' father was Carl Fischer, composer of standards such as Billie Holiday's "You've Changed" and "We'll Be Together Again," sung by Frankie Laine. Carl Fischer was also Laine's musical director and arranger for 10 years. Their mother, Terry Sr., sang with the big bands of the day, ultimately becoming the first girl singer with the Stan Kenton Orchestra. Their grandmother and her three sisters played the vaudeville circuit as the Locus Sisters.
"Popsicles and Icicles" began receiving airplay in Los Angeles in October 1963, breaking nationally in November, and reaching its peak at No. 3 on Billboard and Cash Box on charts dated 11 January 1964. The song also spent three weeks at number two on the Middle-Road Singles (now called Adult Contemporary) chart. The Music Vendor chart ranked "Popsicles and Icicles" at No. 1 for the week of 18 January. Music Vendor's next No. 1 was "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by the Beatles, "Popsicles and Icicles" is sometimes cited as the last No. 1 of the pre-British Invasion rock and roll genre.
