The family group toured widely and in the 1930s had their own radio show in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, before moving to Memphis, Tennessee, where both Sandy and Donna were born.
[4] Her biography on Allmusic describes Sandra Rhodes as "an artist who could walk the fine line between country and Southern soul.
Donna Rhodes released an album, I See Love, on Epic Records in 1971, with several songs written and produced by Sandy and Charles Chalmers.
Sandra's solo album, Where's Your Love Been, described as "an ambitious mix of soul, country, and rock", was issued by Fantasy Records in 1973, also produced by Sandy and Charles.
