![I'm Available - The Rare Recordings [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED] 2CD SET](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/715JA1ZyhCL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
Patience and Prudence recorded their 1st hits when I was only a first-grader or thereabouts. I vaguely remember hearing it from time to time. Most folks' reactions were either "How charming!" or "Yuck - gag me with a spoon!". I thought they were about my age then.
But, with acts like Bianca Ryan from "America's Got Talent" blowing people away with her awesome voice, it's a shock to remember P&P's gentle, breezy songs and their whispery voices..ahhh.
I was never a fan, but, like a few other reveiwers, I still get a smile on my face, too, when I hear them today.
This album has the two songs I remember, "Gonna Get Along Without Ya", and "Tonight You Belong To Me" (heard on a eBay TV ad recently). The rest are very sweet songs in the same vein, and yes, I too was quite drawn to "We Can't Sing Rhythm and Blues" and "Dreamers Bay". Very nice. They then seemed to try to appeal to the Rock & Roll sensibilities of the era by re-doing one of their hits, but the song just lost its charm somehow.
I would have despised them in the '60's and probably did. But now..well, everything old is new again, isn't it?
Would 'tweens dig this album? I have a hunch they might, after the snickering dies down. Hanna Montana they ain't, but the music is still listenable.
Patience and Prudence were the very embodiment of 50's innocence and that innocence has been long stripped away by Britney Spears and others. But now, it's been carefully preserved for us on this CD.

A Smile and A Ribbon was featured in a movie: "Ghost World" {I believe was the name?} as an old 45 playing on a record player with all the scratches, etc.
One of there biggest songs might well be: "Tonight You Belong To Me" another song with some very grown up themes? Most of there songs were done on the Liberty label, with a two records done later on Chattahoochie.
If you have never heard Of Patience & Prudence or had a chance to listen to there sweet voices in a tune - then it is worthwhile at least listening to a few of their songs and maybe you will get hooked as I did?

Early bubblegum songs?
By Patrick A. Teater on February 17, 2010
I am amazed at the vocals and harmony of these two young ladies from the late 50's. You would expect "bubblegum" music from them, but there are some very intricate and grown up themes here: "Gonna Get Along Without Ya Now" & "The Money Tree" for example.By Patrick A. Teater on February 17, 2010
