Prudence Ann McIntyre, the younger of the singing Patience and Prudence
sisters, died Sept 15 2023 at 78, cause unreported.
The sisters scored a #1 hit in 1956 with their demo of a 1927 Gene
Austin song, "Tonight You Belong to Me." Another hit was "The Money
Tree," which aging New Yorkers will remember was re-enacted by the
great Paul Ashley and his puppets on Chuck McCann's show and was
replayed almost endlessly. In what was apparently their last TV
appearance together, the sisters told Dick Clark in 1978 that their
father squelched their careers for "personal reasons" but did not
explain further.
Patience, who's now 81, survives Prudence.
