- The sister duo Patience and Prudence reached the Top Ten in 1956 with a fluke hit, the ghostly "Tonight You Belong to Me." The daughters of a professional musician -- Mark McIntyre, who accompanied Frank Sinatra on piano during the mid-'40s -- Patience and Prudence McIntyre reportedly learned the song while at summer camp in 1955 (when they were nine and 12, respectively). Their father recognized it as a Billy Rose hit from several decades earlier, and was impressed enough to work up the arrangement as a demo intended for cabaret singer Lisa Kirk (wife of Robert Wells). McIntyre also recorded a version with Patience and Prudence's vocals, strictly for personal reasons, but gave a dub to studio friend Ross Bagdasarian, who passed the record on to Si Waronker of Liberty Records.
Waronker loved the song, so Patience and Prudence signed to Liberty and recut the song with overdubs to strengthen their ethereal vocals, then watched as the record soared to number four nationally (with several cover versions eventually coming along). After performing on Perry Como's television show, they chose for a follow-up single "Gonna Get Along Without You Now" (earlier a minor hit for Teresa Brewer), which just missed the Top Ten later in 1956. The duo recorded several more singles -- including a pairing with fellow Liberty act Mike Clifford and several singles for the Chattahoochee label -- but never reached the charts again. They reunited for a 1978 performance on a Dick Clark feature, and earned a surprisingly long lease on life after their songs were used in a pair of films, 1999's Election ("Gonna Get Along Without You Now") and 2001's Ghost World ("A Smile and a Ribbon"). ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

This is a nice version and maybe a good tune to dance to.
I like both recordings. This one, techniclly isn't an alternate take but was a re-recording from 1965 when the girls were a little older (they were 11 and 14 respectively when the original 1956 version was released).
J De 19 & 22 2 be exact of this version....also cut at the same studio (LA's Gold Star) where they did the original rough cut (which caught Liberty's attention & led 2 the monster hit version!!) 8 years before!!!!
Very interesting fact ... didn't know that. Thanks for the info. :)
This is the super rare 1964 version....good stuff!

Hi Shey! I haven't seen you online for a long time. I finally got all of my channels back up and the index is up to date (I think). Hope to be talking to my good friends more than I have been lately! I hate what google has done to UA-cam.
buy the cd so cool its kind
I know John, it makes me so sad, YT is nowhere what it was! xo
I'm just curious. I see many songs from The Lennon Sisters and This duo are common. Why?
