The Chicks were a New Zealand singing sibling duo, active in the 1960s. Sisters Judy and Sue Donaldson scored several hits in their native country, including "Miss You Baby", which sounded similar to a song released by Lynne Randell entitled "Ciao Baby". After they split up, Sue launched a successful solo career as Suzanne Lynch, or simply, Suzanne. [1] The Chicks were one of the local New Zealand acts who performed at Redwood 70, the first major modern music festival held in New Zealand in 1970. [2]
On 25 June 2020, the American band formerly known as "the Dixie Chicks" changed their name to The Chicks, dropping the word " Dixie". [3] [4] The band received Judy and Sue's blessings to share the name. [3] [5]
