The Brooks Sisters

From Denton, Texas, The Brooks ("The Brooks Sisters" as were known by Dentonites) were a musically talented family of four beautiful daughters, Suzanne, Malynn, Elaine and Annette. Three daughters formed the band that entertained and performed the music of the day. Father Bill Jr., Brooks Drug Store shop manager/owner and mother Miriam, a homemaker and astute business manager, converted the family home's oversized garage into a rehearsal studio with a large stage where the sisters practiced for upcoming shows. The Brooks popularity grew in the early 60's so much that they caught the attention of The Ed Sullivan Show producers and in 1964 made two appearances on the show. The highlight of The Brooks Sisters career probably came during one of their Sullivan shows performances when they were introduced to The Beatles and had a private photo shoot of the two bands cutting up and socializing together. After the Sullivan shows, Miriam and the girls sought greater exposure and show business opportunities and decided to leave Texas for Los Angeles. The family moved to a home in Bel Air, CA that coincidentally was next door to Hollywood film legend, Alfred Hitchcock. In California, Miriam and the Sisters worked to make the most of their move to California by establishing contacts and auditioning for Hollywood talent agents. Those auditions included the youngest and only son, Little Bill singing in the home's living room, "What the World Needs Now Is Love" - Burt Bacharach. The young Brooks family were growing up and after a few years decided to move back to the Dallas area where the sisters continued to perform until disbanding in the latter 70's or early 80's.
