Biography

Singing quintet formed by three girls and two boys, four of them siblings, plus one cousin, in order of seniority:

Helen Hall (tenor); Ruth Hall (soprano); James Hall (baritone): Winifred Hall (bass); Fred Hall (anything)

1935 was the banner year for the young quintet. In that year they appeared in nine motion pictures, performed in a couple of radio shows, and appeared in theaters across the country. Their success carried on during the late 30s.

As the kids grew up their popularity waned and they disbanded. During World War Two, the two boys in the group, James and Fred, decided to leave show business. James served in the Army with the 92nd Division. He rose to the rank of Sargent. He was finally discharged in late 1945.

Fred, on the other hand, joined the Navy around August 1945. He was seventeen when he joined the military.

The three girls decided to stay in show business performing as a trio calling themselves The Three Cabin Girls (they would later change their name to The Hall Sisters). By October 1945 The Three Cabin Girls performed in black USO Centers around the United States.

They also performed in various nightclubs such as The Club Bali in Washington, The 666 Club in Detroit, and The Del Grotto and The Delisa Clubs in Chicago. After the war, The Hall Sisters went overseas and entertained the black troops that were stationed in the Pacific.
