Patience and Prudence (last name McIntyre, but not used professionally) were two sisters who were a young singing act in the 1950s.

Their father, Mark McIntyre, was an orchestra leader, pianist, and songwriter, who accompanied Frank Sinatra on piano during the 1940s.[1] In the summer of 1956, he brought his daughters, 11-year-old Prudence and 14-year-old Patience,[2] into the Liberty Records studio in Los Angeles, California. They made a demonstration recording of the song, "Tonight You Belong to Me," which had been a hit for Gene Austin in 1927, and was written by Billy Rose and Lee David. Not only did Liberty sign them, but it immediately released a recording of the girls singing the song as a commercial single, (with the B-side, "A Smile and a Ribbon," a composition with music by Mark McIntyre) and by September the song reached #4 on the Billboard charts[1] and #28 in the UK Singles Chart,[3] and was the biggest selling record put out by Liberty for two years. It sold over one million copies and reached gold record status.[4]
After performing on Perry Como's television show,[1] another recording by the girls, "Gonna Get Along without Ya Now," was released the same year and reached #11 on the Billboard chart[1] and #22 in the UK;[3] its B-side, "The Money Tree," also reached #73 in the U.S.
The two girls continued to record - including a pairing with fellow Liberty act Mike Clifford, and several singles for the Chattahoochee Records label - but did not have any subsequent hit records.[1] In 1978, they reunited and appeared on a Dick Clark television feature.[1] Collectors Choice issued a CD compilation of their entire Liberty Records singles.
