Connie went on to present the TV Sunday school, 'Faith of Our Children'. In 1975 she became a minister of the Unity Church. Lovely to see Jane Russell witnessing, not long after she was slithering round those Olympic muscle men in 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'.
My adoptive mother wrote the song Summertime in My Heart and met Jane Russell at one point. So good to see this clip, even though she is no longer with us.
Took Air Force basic training at Samson AFB in 1954, I was small town kid of 17 who was thrown in with 59 young men from many walks of life. They were from big cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland and from places that weren't even on the map of Kentucky, West "By God" Virginia and everywhere in between. Our first instruction was to march together in step and in a military manner. We heard other flights singing while marching and decided to do it as well. It improved our marching and helped band us together as a team. We sang Do Lord and some other spiritual type songs that made the training easier.
Sometimes you just never know. Especially when you see women movie stars like Jane Russell on the big screen and on the small screen. I loved Jane Russell and yet she didn't even know that I even existed, but I was practically born in the church and I studied music at the world famous Peabody conservative of music in the 70s , playing for gospel choirs all across the US,on the radio for churches and playing organ on television,if you can find out who I am, look me up on line in the Pentecostal organist guess book in the year 2000 pages...... here is a clue, I might be called the world's greatest apostolic gospel jubilee organist, well God bless their four souls white or black gospel in song has no color in my 🗣️ I will always love her but God loves us more than we can ever know,so Good he is so good to me...... Just Jesse.
Rhonda Fleming's favourite singer was Deanna Durbin and she had her voice trained when she was young. She sang more on television than in the cinema but did sing a song in the film: Alias Jessie James 1959 starring Bob Hope. Like many actresses of her day she was multi-talented. Another great redheaded actress Maureen O'Hara had her voice trained by her opera singing mother. Again, she rarely sang in films but did record Irish ballads, one of which see sang in the film: The Quiet Man 1953. I have seen it said that the actor Dana Andrews was operatically trained but neve,r as far as I am aware, sang on film. Hollywood studios in the golden era sadly typecast their stars.
There were many other famous Hollywood actors and actresses that were members of this group back in the '50's and '60's. One of them was one of my all time favorite actors, Mr. Donald O'Connor.
Wow! These ladies are incredible. I'd read in Connie's biography about how these ladies came together do to performances of these songs. Now, seeing this television performance- I'm completely knocked out with how amazing they were. Thanks for posting this!
This is so wonderful! Thank you for sharing! I bought the CD release of all their songs this year and never thought I would actually see a video of these 4 lovely singers and/or actresses performing together!
Thanks for posting this because it gives me some sense of where some of the C&W came from in the 50's. The sad part of this is that it is hard to recognize that these ladies were going about this with probably pure motive and from real Christian hearts, but coming from today where we are so jaded by Christianity being so polical we probably can't see the motive.
You can actually buy CD's of them singing on Amazon, I think Della Russell is in there as well. The CD "Feel the Spirit" has both their "Do Lord" rendition and the medley from the beginning.
I'm related to Beryl Davis. I believe she's my great aunt? I'm looking for contact information for her daughter because I'm in Hollywood next week and would love to say hello. Can anyone help?
I think it's funny that they sing that they have the "Joy, Joy, Joy down in my heart.." while tapping there left shoulder... guess they weren't aware of where their hearts were. :-) (Probably a censor issue.)
With Rhonda's passing at 97, they are all now in heaven.
What beautiful looking women and they can sing, awesome thanks for posting

I just love Rhonda Fleming. She was so pretty. Later in her career she appeared in TV Westerns.
God bless Jane Russell. She was a voice of sanity in a wilderness of insanity.

Beautiful
Спасибо вам большое за то что предоставляете возможность посмотреть такие редкие кадры!🤗
Can you imagine Hollywood doing something like this now days?
Yes. Lindsay Lohan, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lawrence and Naomi Watts would be enthusiastic of singing gospel songs! 😁
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 77yo Aussie fan.
British born Beryl Davis has sadly died, at 87 years of age - leaving just Rhonda Fleming from this quartet still with us.
Rhonda is 97 now and still with us :)
They're going in! Awesome to see Jane Russell praise God!
That little girl might still be alive today. I wonder if she remembers being a part of this performance.
Connie Haines is one fine glass of wine!!
This is fantastic
There were many other famous Hollywood actors and actresses that were members of this group back in the '50's and '60's. One of them was one of my all time favorite actors, Mr. Donald O'Connor.
and Jimmie Dodd
They don't make 'em like this anymore! Thanks a million for sharing this lovely clip!
Rhonda Fleming was beautiful and Connie Haines was one cute sexy Georgia Peach! My two favorites!
Wow! These ladies are incredible. I'd read in Connie's biography about how these ladies came together do to performances of these songs. Now, seeing this television performance- I'm completely knocked out with how amazing they were. Thanks for posting this!
Love the harmony!
Absolutely Fantastic!!
Qué hermosa mujer, descansa en paz, Rhonda Fleming 😢
These gals had a great blend.
Happy 100th birthday memorial Rhonda

They are all gone now🥺
I am looking for Jane singing Do Lord Oh Do Lord Oh Do Remember Me.
Very nice.
This is like the original 4 Girls 4
I like this rendition. I've listened to it several times. Thanks for sharing. Roy
You can actually buy CD's of them singing on Amazon, I think Della Russell is in there as well. The CD
"Feel the Spirit" has both their "Do Lord" rendition and the medley from the beginning.
It's impossible to find anything with Connie Haines, unless it's in Abbot & Costello.
@felipebrasil5 Obviously you don't have a clue who these lovely ladies are honoring. This is super.
@LovelyJanie21 The names of the songs are in the choruses; e.g. 'Do Lord.'
@Garbo46 I was surprised to find out she was a Christian, but it's good that she had a strong faith.
Jane Russell? Yes, I read somewhere that she hosted the Hollywood Christian Group in her home many times.
I'm related to Beryl Davis. I believe she's my great aunt? I'm looking for contact information for her daughter because I'm in Hollywood next week and would love to say hello. Can anyone help?
