The Sisters (feat. Ersi Arvizu) - Gee Baby Gee (Dixie Cups cover - 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, although this single was the one that looked like it might have been the breakout tune for them.

Released as Del-Fi 4300, this song has been covered by countless other girl groups like The Butterflies and Dixie Cups.

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.
