I don't love this style of music, but, as someone who has studied music and played multiple instruments in bands, I gotta say that the McGuire sisters are very talented singers. Their abilities to harmonize and their pitch are fantastic. I listened to some of these old tracks after hearing that Joni Mitchell -- whose music I love -- said she was influenced by their singing when she was young. It's a shame that I feel fewer people today really learn how to sing. The singers of the 1960s, like Joni Mitchell grew up listening to and singing along with the McGuire sisters. Jim Morrison said he was a big fan of Frank Sinatra, and you can hear the influence in his singing.
they look like conjoined triplets, their movements and breathing are all so in harmony. I was lucky enough to see them perform in the early 80's during their comeback - and they still fit in to the red gowns they wore during the 1960's!
The song itself was written by two Jewish guys blending the spirit of the Jewish priestly blessing (May you...) with the nostalgia and sincerity of Auld Lang Syne. Absolutely beautiful song, and the McGuire Sisters perform it to perfection. One of my all-time favorites. My mother loved the McGuire sisters, as well, especially since she had the same first name as Phyllis McGuire.
in the past one avoided, denied,turned a blind eye to all the pain, inequality, injustice that existed. And since we refused to solve those problems in 'the good old days' they still exist.
As i listen for the first time ( at 62 ), i can't help but think how the writers were aiming for a song that would be sung around New Year's along with Auld Lang Syne. This could be a bridge (middle 8) for Auld Lang Syne. Clever writing.
This is from The Perry Como Show January 17, 1959 Season 11 Episode 19. They performed several songs including a dance routine. The entire show can be viewed on Internet Archive.
For the many people who’ve posted comments of how this performance exemplifies how wholesome the good old days of the 1950s were - keep in mind that Phyllis McGuire, in the center, spent years as the girlfriend of a notorious organized crime boss. Not as squeaky-clean and perky as you’d like to fantasize.
Whatever unwholesome things went on in the 50’s doesn’t compare to the progress of unwholesomeness during the last few generations. Not to applaud any of it; but the old unwholesome people still had good traits outside of ‘business’. Not just random crime and killings - with no conscience 😢
Which sister is which? Does anyone know which one is Phyllis?? Sing this to your children or grandchildren, peeps, sing it with feeling...so beautiful it alweays makes me cry because my Gramps sang it to me.
Thank you! I cooked for Phyllis M. and Bob Stupak (when they were an item)while he was recovering from his near-fatal motorcycle accident here in Las Vegas. Needless to say, she looked like no picture I've ever seen of her. Must have had a lot of "work" done.
jonibaloney2003 Wow, I bet you have some great memories of that time! Yes, she definitely had "work" done, and I've never understood why. Phyllis the original was perfect just the way she was.
jonibaloney2003 What an amazing experience, Phyllis still lives in Las Vegas in her lavish home she had built in the 80s. Her sister Christine who's husband passed away a few years ago lives with her. Both still striking beauties.
As much as I love them the Lennon sisters really knocked this out of the park, but it’s close???? They actually looked younger in their 40s than in their 20s, I don’t understand that. My youngest daughter is married to Colonel Danny McGuire from Patterson NJ.
@packingten They learned most of it from earlier sources, watching movies about Jesse James, Younger Gang, and hearing stories about Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, Bugsy Siegel, watching Spaghetti Westerns, The Godfather, and Scarface...
Lyrics: May you always walk in sunshine Slumber warm when night winds blow May you always live with laughter For a smile becomes you so May good fortune find your doorway May the bluebird sing your song May no trouble travel your way May no worry stay too long May your heartaches be forgotten May no tears be spilled May old acquaintance be remembered And your cup of kindness filled And may you always be a dreamer May your wildest dream come true May you find someone to love As much as I love you May old acquaintance be remembered And your cup of kindness filled And may you always be a dreamer May your wildest dream come true May you find someone to love As much as I love you. ♥
@Mookie Spindlehurst "May You Always" is a popular song by Larry Markes (lyrics) and Dick Charles (pseudonym of Richard Charles Krieg), published in 1958. The biggest hit version in the United States was by the McGuire Sisters where it peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] In the United Kingdom, Joan Regan took her version to No. 9 in the UK Singles Chart. The song has also been covered by Bobby Vinton, Maureen Evans, the Lennon Sisters, Anita Bryant, Barbara Cook and Ian McNabb. I hope that answers your question.
Christine (on the left) has passed away at the age of 92 on December 28th, 2018. Phyllis in the center remains the surviving member of this incredible trio. R.I.P.
One of their best songs we lost Phyllis McGuire today she was 89 years old.May she RIP. With her passing today all of The McGuire sisters have passed away they sold millions and millions of records.
My son is married 28 yrs today- 9/7. This was my mother of the groom dance song. It was so old in 1996 the band used a tape , no one could really hear the words. I didn’t care. I knew what it said. They each have the love for each other I was praying for!
They were unique in the fact they practically belted their harmonies. Most groups were softer, quietly blending their voices. ie, Lennon Sisters. These sisters were not only beautiful, but so confident.
@Mookie Spindlehurst the sad absence of femininity is a blight on our times; it must be blindingly obvious to you that many women have an apparent desire to appear anything but ladylike. It is evinced in the minority who take a few moments to arrange their hair, dress attractively in nice attire such as skirts and dresses, and exude an air of sweetness and care. I have no quarrel with you, so please don't write me a disparaging reply.
@Mookie Spindlehurst what are you 80? Woman had no rights whatsoever, no matter how great it was to have children some woman didn't want to have them but were forced into having them by their partner or family, im not even gonna talk about how bad they treated black and gay people
@Mookie Spindlehurst I was just saying how women weren't treated as equals back then, they were put down by men, it hurts me to see all those women treated as if they were only to be seen not heard, I wouldn't like that to happen to Any one and I really hope that you don't think that was a good thing.
I agree!! They are unsurpassed...perfection in every song they ever sang. It's such a pleasure to listen to them and no autotune either. It was available then and they didn't need it either, even many decades later, they still sounded just the same...Fantastic harmonies!
Everytime I want to be uplifted I come to this post and end up crying from the incredible beauty of their sight and the immense loveliness of their harmony as I realize it was 1959 when they looked like this and that song was new!
They started out singing in a Christian church back in the 1930's as small children Their mother was the pastor of the church. The sang for services, funerals, and weddings. By the late 1940's they were singing for senior and veteran homes, and the USO. Around 1952 an agent heard them singing on the radio, possibly a church program, and got them into show business. First was Kate Smith's radio program and then Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts television show on December 1, 1952. They won the competition and went on to stardom. Arthur had them on his show, possibly under contract, on a regular basis from 1952 thru 1959 while they were putting out hit records. Afterwards they were touring, performing in night clubs and Las Vegas through 1968 when they retired. They made a comeback in 1985 and toured for a number of years afterwards. I like the June Cleaver look in hairstyle, jewelry, and dress for this 1959 performance. RIP Christine, Phyllis, and Dorothy.
Anytime I need a break from the headache of today's world I watch this this video. It's one of my favorites & always puts me at peace.
Me too
Same
Wait till you watch the king sisters
i agree. my mom used to sing this to me. it's my happy song.
Me too. We used to be a society that produced beautiful music.
Some lovely music, from days long gone.

They made such wonderful songs and, today, after one of my high school (1959) friends passed away, this song is for him......
I have always loved this beautiful and classic song! I was born in 1978. Thank you for posting and sharing this! Great Harmonizing!
"May you always be a dreamer, may your wildest dream come true."
My wildest dream actually did come true.
Chills down my spine. They could sing

Yes, old acquaintances should be remembered. I agree, it's such a lovely song, it almost makes me cry 😢
Best wishes to you 😊
A song from an era when singers looked fresh and clean and washed and the songs did the same thing on the inside as a good shower did on the outside.
Yes, and no auto tune either.

They were so good !
Boy they were.
How perfectly gorgeous. This was the soundtrack in wunn of my first episodes of CALL THE MIDWIFE
One of my most favorite songs ever.
Although sung loud, this is a lullaby. The words are clearly from a mother to her child.
So beautiful...
They were the best of the harmonizing sister groups.
Outside of the Andrews Sisters, that is..

Phyllis was a naughty girl, for sure. She liked those bad boys, like Sam Giancana

Which one was Phillis? She was a girlfriend of Sam Giancana a Mobster. They were sleeping together during this time.
I'm pretty sure Phyllis is on the right. I love this song. The Lennon Sisters recorded it too. I lived through this whole time, music was real music 🎶
Ada yang dari Trash? 🙌
Wow when women were real women
correct
This predates autotune by some 75 years!

Check it out, they all look like June Cleaver.
Wow real women...real singing before kids were infected by rap music and drive by shootings ....gee where did they get thosr ideas

Great but I prefer Joan Regan's version.
This is live. Their recorded version is much better.
U must be on crack then, kevin. No one's version is better than this one!
Three beautiful ladies who could sing like angels
Anyone still here in 2024? :)
Absolutely!
Oh yeah, for sure!
Yes
Love these ladies! Pure talent
Iam loved the mcquores
Now this is singing not the stuff we have to put up with nowadays.
Songs from this generation are good.... enough.
Lyrics:
May you always walk in sunshine
Slumber warm when night winds blow
May you always live with laughter
For a smile becomes you so
May good fortune find your doorway
May the bluebird sing your song
May no trouble travel your way
May no worry stay too long
May your heartaches be forgotten
May no tears be spilled
May old acquaintance be remembered
And your cup of kindness filled
And may you always be a dreamer
May your wildest dream come true
May you find someone to love
As much as I love you
May old acquaintance be remembered
And your cup of kindness filled
And may you always be a dreamer
May your wildest dream come true
May you find someone to love
As much as I love you. ♥

Phyllis died almost 2 years to the day after Christine.
@Ed Weichsler Phyllis is gone.
Why can’t the world still be like this? Once upon a time, we had beautiful music.
So true...once songs were beautiful and talked about love
@@bufb Beautiful music is still being created. You just have to explore around for it.
It was a different time, a different world.
Miss it so much
We did and I hope and pray we get a little back for the children
Magnificent Melody Combined With Lilting Lovely Lyrics...& The Blending of Velvet Voices...They Were Great!!
50s people were so decent and kind, Its been down hill ever since...Music reflects your society.
I wouldnt say the 50s were decent nor kind, after the atrocities of war and racism etc, but this song was decent and kind
@@ColetteV The music of a generation speaks a lot about the people who live it.
Well Said.
Racism, misogyny, homophobia, greed and war. Yeh, so decent and kind 😂
@@Tyler-x4e We Still have what said,But people today are just plain rotten
1959 is the greatest year ever for popular music.
One of their best songs we lost Phyllis McGuire today she was 89 years old.May she RIP. With her passing today all of The McGuire sisters have passed away they sold millions and millions of records.
May they all rest in peace .
They sang so beautifully together, the best female singing trio in the business, then and now. RIP fine ladies!
I was 10 when they recorded that, and I sang these songs with my mother.😊
When they sing this I just cry.
They were so incredible. So elegant and lovely!
Being from my hometown of Middletown Ohio. Three beautiful ladies who could sing like Angels.
One of my favorites from the McGuire sisters. Thanks for posting.

What voices ... Such harmony.. never ever be another group like that
I loved this song 50 years ago. I heard it recently and I still love it.
Jesus bless us all... awesome McGuire Sisters
Back when "POP" music actually had to sound GOOD !
Their voices were so powerful that the sound equipment at the time had a hard time with distortion.
They were unique in the fact they practically belted their harmonies. Most groups were softer, quietly blending their voices. ie, Lennon Sisters. These sisters were not only beautiful, but so confident.
Hello Donna, How are you doing?
What powerful voices,,wow,, very talented,, old radio's an these girls,,what a night of great music
The world has given this up. Or rather, thrown it away.
Rest in peace Phyllis.
When women were TRULY beautiful and feminine. so much talent in this wonderful talented trio!

And also at a time were women were treated like objects to bare children, clean and cook, the 50s were darker times than you think man.

Beautiful vocals. And I really LOVE the background vocals too! Good back up vocals are hard to find these days.
This brings so many memories for me from my youth! The old black & white TV with three channels!! Thank you!!
Who else is here because Julia Sugarbaker sang it in an episode of "Designing Women"?
Nope Lennon Sisters on the Welk show knockout this song but man it’s close.
Me
hi rioboy13.. I'm here most DEFINITELY because of Julia Sugarbaker!
play this for your children
The orignal hit by the one and only Maguire sisters, such a beautifull song, and sentiment.
They had a wonderful blend! Thanks for posting!

Truly beautiful ladies with. Immensely captivating sweet voices. YES, why cant we have ds kind of music anymore ?? ?
Their blending is so exquisite and superb . . . Truly, I love their songs . . . I wonder, where they are now?
Phyllis & Christine both live in Las Vegas in Phyllis's home (very secure home I might add)
@@russ5024 Well, they are both gone now.
But they left us their beautiful gifts.
I'd like to thank the Muppet Show for the introduction to this song (as well as half the artists I know today).
i was born in the wrong era ToT.
But this music still lives on, isn't that marvelous?
This song is getting popular again and I love it so much.
This is SINGING !....And these are REAL ARTISTS !....
The tune is slightly reminiscent of 'Spin a little web of dreams - as well as interpolating 'Auld lang syne'. Rich voices indeed
I was born decades after this song came out and to this day it is still the most beautiful breakup song I've ever heard.
Their harmonizing is much like the Lennon sisters..very lovely blend..
Sad that there’s no groups like these ladies and the Lennon sisters! Their music never fails to lift and make you feel good.
Pretty awesome...
