The girls started singing professionally at the age of seven, throughout Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas.
Then they sang with Earl Hill's Orchestra from twelve years old until graduating from Harding High School.
Then Syd and Sheri moved to Hollywood and signed with Lute Records and had a hit record, as "Cyd and Cheri" with "I'm A Lookin' For Blue Eyes" and "Lonesome For You".
They then teamed up with "Bill Norvas and the Upstarts", Jerry Wilson and Gary Sneed, performing in "The Blue Room" at the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans.
