Patience and Prudence was a young sister singing act in the 1950s. Their father, Mark McIntyre, was an orchestra leader and pianist who accompanied Frank Sinatra in the ’40s.
Their whimsical, dreamy tunes captivated audiences in America and the UK, eventually pushing their most well-known commercial single, “Tonight You Belong to Me,” (Gene Austin cover, 1927) to #4 on the Billboard charts. This success made the sister duo an important act for Chattahoochee Records and Liberty Records (home of Eddie Cochran), who would release such singles as “A Smile And a Ribbon,” “Gonna Get Along without Ya Now” and “The Money Tree” (b-side to the before-mentioned).
They gained further success with appearances on The Perry Como Show and a Dick Clark television feature.
They released no full album, only six additional singles between 1957 and ‘59.
“Tonight You Belong to Me”
“Gonna Get Along without Ya Now”

“Witchcraft”
