The duo consisted of vocalist Lucille Starr, and her guitar playing husband, Bob Regan. They are best known for the rockabilly song, "Eeny Meeny Miney Moe." Their contribution to the genre has been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.[2] HistoryRegan was born Robert Frederickson, on March 13, 1931)[3] in Rolla, British Columbia. As a child he played harmonica, guitar, mandolin and fiddle.[2] Starr was born Lucille Marie Raymonde Savoie on May 13, 1938 in St. Boniface, Manitoba. In 1958, Regan had been performing in his brother's band The Peace Rangers and had recorded a single, "“Teenage Boogie/I Will Never Hold Another”, singing a duet with his sister on the B side.[2] Starr had performed in the French band Les Hirondelles and later as a solo singer. The two met at a wedding and began performing together. They soon married, and began to perform and record in Canada, calling themselves "Bob and Lucille".[4][5] Their first recording was the 1958 single “Eeny-Meeny-Miney-Moe,”, released through Ditto, a small recording studio in Hollywood, California. A second single, “The Big Kiss/What’s the Password”, was also released through Ditto.[2] At this point the pair started billing themselves as "The Canadian Sweethearts", and in 1961 released a single, “No Help Wanted,” with Soma. They performed and toured in the US and Canada.[6] In 1963 the duo signed with A&M Records, and released two albums and a number of singles, including "Out For Fun/Freight Train". None were commercially successful in the US, although three were near the top of the Canadian charts.[2] In 1964 Starr recorded "The French Song", singing solo and backed by the Tijuana Brass, label co-owner Herb Alpert's band.[1][7] The single was a hit in Europe[2] and was also popular in Canada. The Canadian Sweethearts appeared on various television programs, including regular appearances on ABC's Country America show,[2][8] and toured with Hank Snow.[9][6] In 1966 they signed with Epic Records in Nashville, Tennessee,[10] releasing a series of singles, some of which appeared briefly in the charts. The next year the couple divorced, but continued to perform and record together until 1977. The two went on to perform separately. Regan died on March 5, 1990.[3] DiscographyAlbums
