The group was formed in 1963 by three young girls from Harlem, Roberta ( Ferguson ) Rivers, Mary (Young) Seymour-Williams and Karen Buncam. Early on, Karen left the group and was replaced by Eula McNair. They were enjoying minimal local success when their manager booked them at the World’s Fair. The manager stole all their money, and the group became disillusioned. Mary and Roberta decided to go to every record company at 1650 Broadway and were given appointments by all of the companies. They decided to go with Calla Records and recorded three songs but neither was released. Soon after, they decided to go with Charlie Koppleman and Don Rubin (KR Records). Two songs were released in 1967, “He’s Good For Me” in the US and “It’s Got To Be A Great Song” in the UK . When Eula decided to explore other avenues, she was replaced by Mary Wheeler who had recorded “Prove It” on Calla Records. They became a cohesive group that performed extensively in the US and Europe , and you can hear them again today. They were formerly booked by Shaw Artists and Universal Attractions in New York City and venues included supper clubs, night clubs and lounges, military bases, colleges and television shows. Once booked into a venue, they are always called back by popular demand. Over the course of time, the ladies have sung individually and collectively with Musique, The Crystals , The Marvelettes, and DejaVu. Various young women were recruited as fill-ins when needed, the most noteworthy, Connie Questell and Frankie Griffin. The Tiffanies have a vast repertoire that includes everything from Big Band and Oldies to today's popular hits. Contact Sheer Talent at (727) 656-6856 or TheTiffanies@GMail.com.
