Throwing back to the week of January 25, 1955, we find a slew of repeats atop the singles chart, as usual for this decade: ‘Let Me Go Lover‘ by Joan Weber, ‘Mister Sandman‘ by The Chordettes, ‘Hearts Of Stone‘ by The Fontane Sisters, and ‘The Naughty Lady Of Shady Lane‘ by The Ames Brothers.

Keeping the sibling theme going at #5 that week were The McGuire Sisters with ‘Sincerely,’ a cover of a song written by Harvey Fuqua and Alan Freed for The Moonglows the previous year.

This recording would reach #1 two weeks later and remain there for a month and a half, giving the Ohio-born trio their first chart-topper.

Though the group’s biggest hits came in the 50s, they continued performing until 1968, when Phyllis McGuire’s relationship with mobster Sam Giancana reportedly contributed to their split.
