Fabor Robison had achieved regional success with hillbilly records by acts including Jim Reeves, the Browns and Johnny Horton. So who could have predicted his signing of three singing siblings from Havana, who had idolized the Andrews Sisters? But when Fabor Robison spotted Peggy, Cherie and Babette de Castro performing at the fashionable Moulin Rouge night club in Hollywood, he signed them almost immediately. Teaming them with arranger Skip Martin - an alumnus of Les Brown's band who had become a successful music director for major film studios. Fabor Robison hit with The de Castro Sisters' first single: Teach Me Tonight.
