A Brief History

Christine Quaite was born in Leeds on May 11, 1948. At age eight, she entered her first talent showcase and became a regular fixture of the local amateur circuit, later joining the Judean Club, a Jewish youth performance group. Christine received a contract offer from Oriole Records, and in early 1962, the then 13-year-old issued her debut single "Oh My". It was quickly followed by a second single. "Your Nose Is Gonna Grow" These two and her next single "Whisper Wonderful Words" all failed to chart. Christine had some minor success with her fourth single "Tell me Mama" when it climbed to 89th spot in the Billboard Pop Charts of 1964. Two more singles followed for Christine, "Here She Comes" & "Mr Stuck-Up" before the Oriole label found itself bankrupt. Christine released a further two singles on the UK, Stateside label in 1965 & 1966,  it was to be the last we would ever hear of Christine Quaite.
