Candy and Mandy were the first blonde singers I remember from the rock n roll era of Sydney. They appeared at one or more of the famous Sydney Stadium international rock concerts hosted by Lee Gordon.

This picture was taken during a Saturday night TV show "Six O'Clock Rock" 1957

I thought the taller 'Candy' was something very special when I was aged sixteen. The girls seem to vanish from the music scene far too early.

"Candy and Mandy had themselves success with "Clicketty Clack" before fading away. For a short time they rivaled Annette Funicello as every schoolboy's fantasy". From: http://www.buffpoint.brianbrett.id.au/the_one_shots.html
