The Paris Sisters were a 1960s girl group from San Francisco, best known for their work with producer Phil Spector. The group consisted of lead singer Priscilla Paris; her older sister, Albeth Paris; and their middle sister Sherrell Paris. They reached the peak of their success in October 1961 with the hit single "I Love How You Love Me", which peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart,^[1] and sold over one million copies.^[2] Some of the group's other hit songs include the US Top 40 single - "He Knows I Love Him Too Much"(1962, #34), "All Through The Night" (1961),^[3] "Be My Boy" (#56), "Let Me Be The One"(#87), and "Dream Lover" (#91).^[4]
