Originally under The Sacred Hearts Singers, this all-girl group out of Ewen, Michigan released what appears to be 2 albums (and an EP) before changing their names to the Come Alive Singers and releasing 2 more, mostly consisting of original liturgical songs. Created in 1967 by director Dorothy Bessen and Fr. Wm. Richards in direct relation to the Sacred Hearts Parish, their first album was released in 1970. I got my hands on both Happy Feet and Come Alive through discogs for $3 each, and found their Christmas album uploaded by someone else online.
