The King Sisters
Luise, Yvonne, Alyce, and Donna Driggs were raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. Their father, "Daddy King Driggs" was a vocal trainer, and the girls adopted his name as their stage surname. The sisters were phenomenally popular in the 1930s and 1940s; some of their best loved songs include "I'll Get By," "Sometimes I'm Happy," "Jersey Bounce," and "In the Mood." The sisters were also featured in several films in the 1940s and, after fading from public view in the 1950s, reappeared with their own vaudeville show on ABC in the 1960s, "The King Family Show." The King Sisters performed several times at Lou’s Village in the 1950s.
