"Ambrose (Part 5)" While attending Abraham Lincoln High School in Brooklyn, New York, Laurie wrote and recorded a number of demo records, including "Sunglasses," which Linda recorded with her friend Linda Yellin as the "Knott Sisters"; the song failed to chart.

"Ambrose (Part 5)" (despite the name, there were no parts one through four) entered the Billboard charts in January 1959 and peaked at ...
