Babs Beverley, one third of Beverley Sisters, dies aged 91

Babs Beverley, one third of the famous Beverley Sisters, has died aged 91.

Following the death of her older sister Joy in 2015, Teddie Beverly is now the sole surviving member of the celebrated trio.

Born Babette Chinery in 1927, Babs was brought up with her sisters in East London’s Bethanl Green.

The sisters originally all trained as typists, and Babs at first had aspirations of becoming a policewoman.

However, that all changed and they were thrust into the spotlight when they secured a contract to become “Bonnie Babies” in an Ovaltine advertising campaign.

With the support of bandleader Glenn Miller, they all became professional singers renowned for their harmonics.

The siblings would go on to become one of the most popular musical acts of the 1950s and 60s thanks to their chart-toppers including I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause.

Their other hit records included Little Drummer Boy, Bye Bye Love and more.

During the 1950s, they enjoyed success with their own television show on the BBC, and they were all made MBEs in 2006.

In 1951 thanks to a recording contract with Columbia Records, they became the highest-paid female act in the UK.

In 1958, the trio effectively retired when Joy Beverley married the captain of the England football team Billy Wright in 1958.

But in the 1980s they reunited, and entered the Guinness Book of Records in 2002 as the world’s longest-surviving vocal group with no line-up change.

Babs had been diagnosed with cancer in 2013, and had been living in a Brighton care home prior to her death.

Her agent Johnny Mans said: “She still looked as gorgeous as ever.

“She will be sadly missed because they were legends in their own lifetime, and people will still remember them.”

A favourite of the late Queen Mother, the Beverley Sisters performed in identical outfits and had near-identical blonde hairdos.

Babs died on October 28, leaving no children.
