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. Here they do their version of the classic by Darlene Love.
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.
They recorded six sides and one unreleased track in their two years with Del-Fi. None were major chart impacts. Ersi went on to record later with El Chicano.
Arthur lee had something to do with jimi hendrix first recording as well [ which was on a jayne mansfield record ] .

Great stuff,wally1435! A shame that many talented local artists never hit it big nationally. But we remember them fondly.

Thanks. I was glad I remembered I had this cd and that no one else on YouTube had yet uploaded anything by them.
