Why they might be annoying:

    They were one of many 50s acts that had their biggest success by whitewashing rhythm and blues hits for the pop chart.
    Phyllis dated gangster Sam Giancana.
    Phyllis reportedly had $100,000 in gambling debts that Giancana took care of.
    Phyllis was arrested for slapping and head-butting a Las Vegas police officer (March 28, 1999).

Why they might not be annoying:

    They got their start singing in the choir of the church where their mother was a minister.
    They sang for five US Presidents (Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and George H. W. Bush) and Queen Elizabeth II.
    Charges against Phyllis in the cop-slapping incident were dropped after she contributed $5,000 to the Injured Police Officers Fund.
