- The Lennon Sisters are a singing group consisting of four siblings: Dianne (born December 1, 1939), Peggy (born April 8, 1941), Kathy (born August 2, 1943), and Janet (born June 15, 1946). They were all born in Los Angeles, California of German/Irish and Mexican ancestry. The original quartet were the eldest four in a family of twelve siblings. In 1992, younger sister Mimi replaced second sister Peggy who retired. Sister Dianne (DeeDee) has also retired. The group were a regular on the weekly television show, The Lawrence Welk Show. The current group line-up, appearing mostly at Welk resorts, consists of Mimi, Janet and Kathy.
The quartet debuted on The Lawrence Welk Show on Christmas Eve 1955[1] after their school classmate, Larry Welk, son of Lawrence Welk, brought them to the attention of his father. Mr. Welk was home, sick in bed, when his son brought the sisters in to sing for him. He was so impressed he picked up the phone and booked them for that week's show. Their immediate and immense popularity was due not only to their beautiful harmonies, but to their natural charm and genuine sweetness as well. They were a mainstay on the show until they left to start a career of their own in 1968. The quartet was only three members from 1960 to 1964; oldest sister Dianne (also called Dee Dee) got married, left the group, and then rejoined them. Peggy sang the high harmony part, Kathy the low harmony, and Janet and Dianne sang the middle harmony and lead parts.
Their first hit, "Tonight, You Belong to Me" reached to #15 on the charts in 1956. This was followed by their 1961 single, "Sad Movies (Make Me Cry)", (Dot 16255), which turned out to be their highest-charting record. It provided them with the only number #1 single of their career, reaching the top of the charts in Japan.
Items such as coloring books, paper dolls and story books were produced with the Lennon sisters.
In 1969, the sisters starred in their own variety show, Jimmy Durante Presents the Lennon Sisters Hour. Six weeks before the show premiered on August 12, the sisters were forced to deal with the shooting death of their father, William, by a deranged fan, a stalker named Chet Young, who believed himself to be married to Peggy and that the father stood in the way and had to be eliminated. Lying in wait, Young shot Mr. Lennon in the parking lot of the Marina Del Rey golf course and two months later used the same gun to commit suicide. The sisters discovered an unopened letter having a cutout of Bill, a picture of a gun pointed at his head, and the words "High Noon" (the time of the murder). (Source, Dr. Doreen Orion, I Know You Really Love Me) In the wake of the murder, Jimmy Durante Presents The Lennon Sisters Hour lasted one season before it was cancelled by ABC.
In the 1970s, the sisters performed regularly on The Andy Williams Show, and toured with Williams across the country including engagements at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. They also appeared on several game shows as well, such as Family Feud, Tattletales and The Hollywood Squares. From 1994 to 2004, the quartet performed as headliners at the Welk Champagne Theater in the Ozark community of Branson, Missouri. When Peggy retired from singing in 1999, younger sister Mimi took her place, and when Dianne left for a second time in 2001, the act became a trio again for the rest of its run in Branson.
While continuing to play tour dates, Kathy and Janet Lennon have branched out into the toy market, designing and selling their "Best Pals" dolls. In addition to the dolls, the sisters have recorded CDs of favorite children songs for their "Best Pals" line.
The four original Lennon Sisters wrote their autobiography Same Song, Separate Voices, which was originally published in 1985 and updated a decade later. ~SOURCE: Wikipedia

My precious mother and I made a scrapbook of the Lennon sisters when I was little. She died of cancer when I was 7 and this is one of the happy memories I have of her ❤️
I'm 59 now......I STILL miss you mama😥🌻
I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your mother at such a tender age. May your happy memories of her give you comfort.
@@debrajean9432 thank you
Condolences!
@@ScienceisStupid-f3r thank you
The Lennon sisters represented the elegant side of the sixties! Such a class act! love the big beautiful hair and those sheath satin dresses
I love you =>
You are right
My parents watched Lawrence Welk every week. The Lennon Sisters were my favorites.
My favorites too. I had a huge crush on Janet. 😂
I was sixteen and head over heels in love with Janet back in the early 60's,
One of their best. Great styling and sung right on with each other
What a great version. They sound great and look so pretty. I love their dresses. Janet always always has pretty lipstick on.
Well now sugar in the morning sugar in the evening sugar at suppertime
Be my little sugar and love me all the time
Honey in the morning honey in the evening honey at suppertime
Be my little honey and love me all the time
Put your arms around me swear by stars above
You'll be mine forever in the heaven of love
Sugar in the morning sugar in the evening sugar at suppertime
Be my little sugar and love me all the time
Now sugar time is anytime that you're near oh you're so dear
Now don't you roam just be my honeycomb and live in a heaven of love
Their voices are so soothing. ❤️
Usually singers back then ( not just in the west ) have soothing voices idk what happened to singers in these couple years but maybe the technique are different.
I remember my mother walking around the house singing this song
The harmony is breathtaking, as is the beauty of all four! What a class act. I was only seven years old when I starting watching them on the Lawrence Welk show. Still enjoy listening to them over and over!
Beautiful girls, lovely harmony, and fantastic video. Thanks for sharing!
What elegant and talented ladies!
I love Lawrence Welk music. I enjoy the Lennon sisters. I saw them at a concert in 2014 and was priveledged to talk to them after the concert. Lawrence Welk is an oasis of beautiful decent music in an age of noise.
they are all so beautiful
GOD, I MISS MUSIC like this sung by CLASSY FEMALES!
They definitely were great singers and dressed impeccably. Loved the Christmas songs and sets also.
There Beautiful Voices Is Very Well Synchronized
Pure Class !!!! WHERE IS IT NOW?
They were great .
Beautiful
these hairdos are much better than their usuall short hair.
That sounds resonable,either way I like the song by both girl groups,Welk had a great show and lots of talent to choose from.
About the time this song came out, it quickly got a dour cast on it. Our neighbor's kids were both diagnosed with (juvenile) "sugar diabetes" right about then. The attempts to control those kids' diet was heart wrenching. Kids want cake candy and ice cream Well...you could imagine the crying that went on. And those insulin shots.
Janet has my birthday, wow!
And yikes, one of the lights in here is flickering since I realized that.
It's 2020 how's you?
Wie wunderschön.
LOVE their hair here. They were so elegant.
I love this vid. Tq for sharing❤
Lovely .👌👍😊
Love this song
BEAUTIFUL.
Love u guys,
From 2021
Same music was used in the bollywood song ‘Dil deke dekho’ which was famously sung in the 90s... Though the music was borrowed but it did turn out to be pretty catchy and holds one of the best childhood memories.
Yes
Sensacional!
@Crockerish OK Thanks. It's likely that both the Maguire Sisters and Jimmie Rodgers had hits with the song. Maybe Welk was more familiar with Jimmie's or maybe it was more current.
Güzel
I was mistaken,it was Jimmy Rodgers that Lawerence Welk says had the hit,NOT SO it was the Maquire Sistors in the fifties and I was there.
Back in the day when men respected women AND women deserved respect.
Maggie McMac umm men did not respect women then or now wym..
So you are saying that women now don't deserve respect? Also, if you think men respect women, either then or now, you need to wake up.
Well…
Ohhh some colors
♥️♥️♥️
Sweet sugar!
1960: nice voices and words
2021: bizz no do u know where i give a hecc?? Hecc you. BJFFSDJCZJKZGB
@Crockerish Who are you talking to? I don't see anyone discussing the Maguire Sisters or Jimmy Dean here.
The final thing that kicked my childhood autism

Sugar in the morning

Me: Holy Cow!!!!I am now diabetic!!!
I wonder which one was the little girl in tonight you belong with me
can someone point their name one by one start from left to right
:)
Cute... but could be sound dubbing be any further off??? Like watching a Godzilla flick!! :P
Such pretty and talented girls.. Dreadful dresses, but lovely to see this clip anyway.
The dresses are two piece. Methinks that they are duchesse satin. Not an easy fabric to work with - one noteworthy observation: absolutely Ø VPL!
Actually I really like those dresses...fits them well and shiny.
Wondering why you associate sugar with love?
2020?
2021
2022
2023
oh, help!
Pulled me out from Autism.
Me, "Mom, don't you like this song?"
Mom, "You never spoke before".
Me, "I did not want to"
Later I was as shy and 'socially outside as they come.
Not true it was the Maquire sistors not Jimmy Dean who made this famous.
what year?
1966
what year is that??
1867
1966
Now I know where the diabetes uprise started
Who was the mafia guys girlfriend?
tom wells
Not these four.
It was Phyllis McGuire of the Mcguire Sisters that had an association with Sam Giancana.
Ic TY!!!
You cant see those modest looks today. Almost all now a days only wear under wear on the streets.
(!
Pleas dont tik tok it .. not this one please
They had lovely voices, but I disagree with young girls having been hired to work, performing every week for years. Not only that, they performed at fairs, etc. Janet was only 9, Kathy 12 and Peggy 14 when they started. When were they allowed to just be children and teens? it is not children's responsibility to support the parents.
They were very talented singers and had great harmony together but their style sucked the life out of songs they sang. Probably Mr. Welk's fault. But wonderful ladies!
What a Rip Off. Their not Twerking.
The McGuire was way better. These sisters didn't move at all :/
Your post piqued my curiosity and after viewing them sing Sugartime, you are most definitely correct! Where the Lennon Sisters were very good, the McGuire Sisters were out of this world.
@@jeanc819 True. But the best close harmony female group for me will forever be The Andrews Sisters. They were so ahead of their time.
@@notesl5576 I agreee, the Andrew Sisters set the bar for others to follow. They were, indeed, part of the Greatest Generation.
Shugerrrr..
