The Marlin Sisters were an American vocal duo consisting of sisters, Gittele (Trudy) and Goldele (Gloria) Malavsky. They were daughters of the well-known Cantor Samuel Malavsky (1894–1985). Goldie and Gittele performed as the Marlin Sisters, recording over fourty records, and collaborating with Guy Mitchell, Eddie Fisher, Ted Steele and others. They had several charting hits on their own including "Toolie Oolie Doolie (The Yodel Polka)", "My Happiness". They also provided vocals for a number of other charting tracks including Eddie Fisher's "You Can't Be True, Dear", Frankie Yankovic's "Blue Skirt Waltz", and the Pinetoppers' "Lonely Little Robin". In addition to popular music they also recorded Yiddish, Cantorial and Liturgical music as a duo and as part of The Malavsky Family Choir.
Note: The first 78 RPM record came into existence around 1894, and in 1912 the Gramophone Company established 78 Rotations Per Minute as their recording standard. The production of shellac records continued throughout the 78 rpm era, with "non-breakable" 78 rpm vinyl records being introduced in the 1940s. The popularity of the 33 1/3 rpm "Long Play" record, initially released in 1948, caused the 78 rpm record to become obsolete before the end of the 1950s. As these 78 rpm recordings are quite old, they may contain derogatory language and/or negative stereotypes. It is important to evaluate such recordings within their historical context and consider them as a reflection of the attitudes prevalent at the time. These recordings form an integral part of the historical record and do not represent the views of this poster, channel, or Bowness Arts.
