The Puppini “Sisters” are Marcella Puppini, Stephanie O’Brien, and Kate Mullins. Their vocal harmonies are reminiscent of The Andrews Sisters. On this disc they cover older standards made popular by The Chordettes, The Ink Spots and The Andrews Sisters, as well as retrofit into the genre more recent standards made popular by Gloria Gaynor and Blondie. To my mind the most unusual song on the disc is Wuthering Heights, the chorus beginning: “Heathcliff, don’t you know that it’s me, it’s Cathy…”, a United Kingdom hit in 1978 by Kate Bush. The best track on the CD, however, is Glenn Miller's In The Mood… engaging vocal harmonies supported by finger snaps, hand claps and foot stomps.
