The Lana Sisters
The Lana Sisters were a British vocal group formed by Iris Long in 1958, along with Lynne Abrams. They put an advert in "The Stage" for a third member and got a reply from Mary O'Brien, who would go on to solo success a few years later as Dusty Springfield. After Iris left the Lana Sisters she formed the Chantelles with two friends.

They were managed by Evelyn Taylor, as they toured around England. They appeared on the BBC's "Drumbeat" with Adam Faith and John Barry, and later took part in a Christmas special "Tommy Steele’s Spectacular" with the song "Seven Little Girls Sitting in the Backseat".

They appeared twice at the Royal Albert Hall and toured with Cliff Richard, Adam Faith, and Morecambe & Wise. The song "You've Got What it Takes" became a Top 10 hit in Ireland in 1960.

When Dusty Springfield left the Lana Sisters she joined her brother Tom Springfield and another friend (Tim Feild) to make The Springfields. She went solo in 1963.
