Legendary singer Teddie Beverley has died at the age of 99. She had been the last surviving member of the popular trio The Beverley Sisters which she formed with her sisters Joy and Babs, who was Teddie's twin. They were famously inseparable and always wore the same outfits.
They began singing together when they were evacuated to Northampton during World War II and they were then recommended to a BBC producer after they started singing on set when they were scouted for a photoshoot. The BBC later offered the group a contract and they began singing weekly in a broadcast from Alexandra Palace, London. They went on to become amongst the most popular entertainers of the post-war era. In 1951, they had their first chart success with The Ferry Boat Inn and they ended up on tour with Elvis Presley and the Everly Brothers.
