The Forester Sisters

The Forester Sisters consisted of sisters Kathy, June, Kim, and Christy Forester. Having performed together locally in their native Lookout Mountain, Georgia, since the 1970s, the four sisters began singing full-time in the 1980s and signed to Warner Records Nashville in 1984. Their greatest commercial success came between then and 1991, when they charted fifteen top-ten hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, five of which went to number one: “I Fell in Love Again Last Night”, “Just in Case”, “Mama’s Never Seen Those Eyes”, “Too Much Is Not Enough” (with The Bellamy Brothers), and “You Again”. They won the Academy of Country Music Group of the Year award in 1986 and were nominated three times for a Grammy Award. In addition to their Country music albums, they released multiple albums of Gospel music and one of Christmas music.

The group’s sound is defined primarily by four-part vocal harmonies, most often with Kim or Kathy singing lead vocals. Their style has been compared to other contemporary family-based Country music groups such as The Judds and The Whites, while critical reception to their body of work has generally been mixed. The sisters retired from the music industry in 1996 and found work in other fields.
