The Sisters (feat. Ersi Arvizu) - Ooh Poo Pah Doo (1965)

Chicana girl-group from East L.A., composed of sisters Rosella, Ersi & Mary Arvizu.

Though well-known locally, they failed to have major chart action on a national level and this was their last single release on the Del-Fi label, Del-Fi #4302.

Song was written by Jesse Hill, who originally recorded it; another great version was by Ike & Tina Turner.

More info from the booklet:
Ersi was only 14 at the time of the recordings. It did say they always wore matching outfits and they used "Motown's Supremes as their main source of inspiration". It also mentions 2 members of the rock group Love (Arthur Lee and Johnny Echols) were musicians on these tracks. Ersi went on to record later with El Chicano.

What a nice find. These are some really good voices; don't know if this is the best song for them but liked hearing them sing.

Nice find, young pretty"s living just down the street from me and I had not heard of them. (City Terrace) But we all knew of El Chicano a short time later. Thanks.

Ersi's niece Denise Herrera now sings in Santa Barbara with the Anthony Prieto Band. Good talent runs in that family for sure.
