Title: FWIW: Little Known Barker TPIR Factoid.
Post by: TimK2003 on May 16, 2024, 02:05:56 PM

As I do a weekly oldies show on our local Community Radio station, I try to pull out some obscure facts about the artists I play and relay them to the listeners.

Recently, I stumbled on a factoid about former TPIR staffer Sherrell Paris, who worked closely with Bob during much of the Barker era.   I never made the connection that she was a hit-maker in the early 60s!

I believe they showed her briefly on a couple of occasions for game-related reasons, but I don't ever recall Bob ever mentioning her recording career.

Anyhoo, if you wish to learn more about Sherrell's pre-Price career,...

The Paris Sisters were quite well known. Here's a Cullen TPIR fact. Norman Mailer was married to one of the models
