The ones the listeners loved most of all in those early years were the four Lennon girls who became the whole nation's little sisters.

I was one of those little girls who practiced signing autographs since I was 5 years old.

In spite of the Depression, or maybe because of it, folks were hungry for a good time, and an evening of dancing seemed a good way to have it.

Dreams do come true, even for someone who couldn't speak English and never had a music lesson or much of an education.

I was a little girl who grew up idolizing musical-theatre stars.
