The Kane Triplets were a pop music group made up of triplets Lucille, Jeanne and Maureen Kane.[1] They are perhaps best known for their recording of the "Theme from Mission: Impossible," which was released in 1968 by United Artists Records with vocals written by Fred Milano and Angelo D'Aleo of The Belmonts.[2]
Career
In 1948, when only a few weeks old, the triplets were featured in an advert in Life magazine. Their singing career began after their performance on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts; they were picked up by The McGuire Sisters and performed alongside them in both theater and television performances.[1] They later performed on The Jack Benny Show, The Ed Sullivan Show, The Mike Douglas Show, The Perry Como Show and The Tonight Show.[1]
On 30 January 2007, Jeanne Kane was murdered by her ex-husband and retired New York City Police Department sergeant John Galtieri.[3] Galtieri, who was (at the time) a manager at Quiznos,[4] was sentenced to 25 years to life imprisonment for shooting Kane in a Staten Island parking lot.[3][4]
