The DeCastro Sisters -- Peggy and Cherie -- call themselves the "Cuban bombshells," and are still living up to that name on the stage.
The DeCastro Sisters were originally a trio with Babette, their youngest sister, who passed away in 1993. Olgita DeCastro Marino, a cousin, filled the onstage gap left by Babette, but she died in 2000.
The DeCastros' mother was a former "Ziegfeld Follies" dancer in New York City, and their father owned a sugar cane plantation in the Dominican Republic.
Their mother took up opera singing as a hobby and pretty soon her daughters were singing too. They were imitating the Andrews Sisters and hitting Cuban stages before any had turned 14.
They moved to America, where they played such places as New York's Copacabana, appeared in a movie with Carmen Miranda and made it big in 1955 with their one and only hit, "Teach Me Tonight." The song remains their hallmark.
