ARTHUR GODFREY McQUIRE SISTERS CLASSIC TV SHOWS & COMMERCIALS on DVD at TVDAYS.com

[waynebrasler]

Arthur was just a terrible man. He enjoyed embarassing his talent on camera (he does it here) in the guise of being cute. He never treated his talent with respect on camera. This record got the McGuires moving on Coral; there are just in the baby step stage here of becoming a great act in person and on record but they moved swiftly. They found the right look, the right attitude and the right songs. Very smart ladies, they still are, and hard workers. And perfectionists!

[Noodles37UK]

WTF? Which one's Eddie Cochrane?

[freakazoid012]

I have a Cd of one of their albums with Blue Room on it. It's a great little tune. I've heard other versions and no one else does it justice.

[strummerocks]

At Least spell their names correctly - how could there be a Q in McGuire?

[fromthesidelines]

You have to understand that, at the time, Godfrey was on almost every single day (except Sundays) in one form or another: he had a daily 90 minute radio/TV simulcast [60 minutes on TV], the Monday night "TALENT SCOUTS" (also simulcast,; the Wednesday night hour-long variety show, AND an hour-long "highlights" show of his previous week's radio shows on Saturdays {"ARTHUR GODFREY'S DIGEST"}. That made him almost as unavoidable to miss as Oprah is these days...

[dklml2]

Godfrey was a prick. I guess he had power because he sure didn't have talent.

[ideheights]

They were so talented and gorgeous... but I saw them on a reunion TV show about 10 years ago... they all had hideous matching plastic surgery and hairdos... completely creepy!

[margot9230]

perfect perfect perfect harmony

[psyclone7]

I really enjoy their music. I wish I could find a video of Blue Room. Sadly though, didn't one of the sisters get involved with a mobster of the day ?

[logancody05]

I believe it was Phyllis who got involved with Mafioso Sam Giancanna from Chicago.

[FASTLIGHTNING1]

STA ZITO !

[stratoleft]

Sadly though, the president of the United States is involved with mobsters right now, homey.

[margot9230]

They were and still are the best in looks and voices and what nice figures.

[BigDaddy1968]

I am new to all this, but I wonder why people were EVER fooled by Arthur Godfrey. I could tell w/in a minute of watching this that he was a, in the words of our GREAT former President, a Major League A-hole!

haha

Big Daddy

[tvdays]

sadley he was

[elyseny]

@BigDaddy1968 He was, but I iked his show.

[antoniod]

@BigDaddy1968 Have you heard Stan Freberg's parody "That's Right, Arthur"?

[MYJESUSROCKS]

the at&t angels grew up with them

[OhNoItsGojira]

I love their sound. Just great!

[rodneyhackenflash]

I appreciate whaT TV days is doing by saving precious vidios! But I would like to request that when you give us something to watch, tell us what it is ! Your great!

[tvdays]

No Budget, I'll give youthe images you have to do the research. Teach me something.

[waynebrasler]

Note that when they get up from the chairs they do it in unison! The song was lovely, as was the record, but it hardly made a dent. They didn't have to wait long for a hit, however, and after that they were regularly climbing up the charts. They were on the perfect label for their sound, Coral. Very bright and savvy girls, disciplined and hard workers. They still look and sound great.

[Codywoming]

Arthur godfrey is my great uncle

[procommenter]

The future? During one's youth it's looked to with anticipation, one's dotage w/ chagrin. The past finds ships: "Tirpitz"; "Hood"; "Great Eastern"; "Eastland," rolling, foundering, listing. History finds Arthur Godfrey dodging alien craft in 1965. Tawdry acts bespeak tawdry crimes as in the present we find no future and a doctored past.

[squeet48]

What elegant harmonies.

[SkaterFrodo]

OMG! I really wish I could live in those days. It seems so , beautiful. Being 20, I can see how people forget the past sometimes..

[xtiml]

you know godfrey has hinds all over them when he wasstanding there he was a real lecher.

[coyclown]

No wonder why she said Swicking Petes! What a total creep!

[mettanc]

fantastic stuff!!!!!!!!!

[Sudela]

i'm 21 years old but oh how i wish i lived back in that time!!! Everyone seemed so proper and clean and well behaved! :D this was really neat to watch!

[judy77777]

Sudela, it is so good to see someone your age that cares about things like that after all your life seeing well you know. good luck to you in the future.

[markojameow]

I agree with judy77777. It is nice to know that there are young people who appreciate the past. Too many don't, and that's too bad.

[coyclown]

I appreciate the early times as well, and Im 32. :-D I would love to have lived during the 1950s, what a fantastically incredible time to be alive!

[sigclu]

I am 67, yes it was the best of times. Less was really more, poorer was really so rich. God love those days and all those dear hearts and gentle people. Thry will never be forgotton as long as I am alive.

[kennyt1230]

Would love a clip of them singing "Sincerely"

[fromthesidelines]

This was around the time Phyllis, Dotty and Chris McGuire began appearing regularly on Godfrey's radio and TV shows- this excerpt is from the Wednesday night "ARTHUR GODFREY AND HIS FRIENDS" program in early 1953.....
