  1. In church last Sunday, the choir sang I believe and memories came flooding back from the late sixties about three female singers singing this song and it took me quite sometime to track them down.
    I am hoping if anyone out there have the version of the song I believe by the Tidbits that can be downloaded.

    Thanks and regards,

    John

  2. I used to adore these three schoolgirl singers when I was in Form 3. I even possessed their debut EP.
    Wonder where they are now and what they are doing in the 21st century?

  3. By the way, I remember their sweet voices and excellent harmony, when I was in sec 4. Just sweet memory hearing them sing I believe and Lace Covered Windows.

  4. Oh yes. Does anyone know of their whereabouts? What are they doing now? Are they still singing? They should be grandmas now 🙂
