Sugartime - The McGuire Sisters and Perry Como

[229kara]

Love this video. Song makes me smile every time I hear this

[Nabokov50]

Why is Perry sitting on a stool that makes him at least a foot taller than the women? A bit of inferred male domination going on here? Not that I mind, of course, I'm a guy.

[pleximarz]

back in those dear sweet simple days everyone wondered what the future would be like. Walt Disney would tell us that machines would do the work for us so we could have more leisure time, was it true, do you like where were at now..............Lord help us all

[pmaramis]

thank you i enjoy this old music

[qb63]

We really enjoyed watching the Perry Como show.

[waynebrasler]

One more note. If you ever got to MEET these people you'd find they were intelligent, articulate, gracious and could enjoy a meaningful conversation with anyone. It was indeed a different time. These people had class, they had warmth, they had ethics and they worked hard for everything they kept achieving. When you'd meet their mom or dad, brothers or sisters or kids you'd unfailing find a lovely family. A different world totally.

[BlackCatP13]

This video is swell!

Can anyone tell me which of the 3 sisters was the one with the red hair?

[Kaayuu]

i love phyllis shes such a doll!

[88Willhur]

Phyllis went out with Sam Giancana

as a lifelong Perry Como fan I remember sometime in the early fifties Perry sang a song called 'I Will Never Change'(I'll Always Love You) a friend let me borrow it for a few days unfortunatly I did not have the equipment to record it, I have never been able to get Perry's recording of it, So please if there is anyone out there who has it

please please put it on U TUBE thanks.

[iconaclastor]

1 million records was big at that time. Lots of great talent on that stage.

[shakand]

They stole the melody from Emanuel Ravelli.

[holdenutegirl]

Aww wow I absolutely love this clip!! Had a smile on my face from the start to the end! Awesome!

[PrincessLittleRock]

So much fun! AND - singing expertise!

[jimmbo13]

Como seems to be laughing with Phyllis during the song

[TheArturolobito]

the unforgetable PERRY COMO... AND the great voices of THE MCGUIRE SISTERS .... GREAT AND AMAZING MEMORIES FOREVER¡¡¡

[darrenmag1]

memories of the 50s come flooding back. i vaguely remember the perry como show,saturday nights would that be right. dixon of dock green quatermas oh i could go on and on and...

[CarlDuke]

Perry was originally on Saturday night on NBC vs. Jackie Gleason on CBS. Perry said they had a friendly rivalry and would each call the other to kid each other depending upon who had the better rating that week. Later on when Perry was the host of the Kraft Music Hall he was on during the week.

[CarlDuke]

I wrote this yesterday, but it didn't post, so if you get it twice that's the reason. Perry's show was originally on Sat night opposite Jackie Gleason. Perry said they had a friendly rivalry and would call each other up to raze the other guy depending who had won the weekly ratings war. Perry eventually moved to weeknights when he became host of the Kraft music Hall. You may remember Ed Herlihy and his commercials telling where to write to get those Kraft recipes.

[Georgewos]

I just looked at the video of Perry Como singing Mountain Greenery from the 1948 MGM musical Words and Music. Perry Como, Dean Martin, Andy Williams always had the best TV shows.

[wendydale1]

Wonderful! Oh how my mother loved Perry Como.

McGuire Sisters were very well enjoyed and respected. Fabulous harmony, fun, and talent. These were the popular shows at the time.

[greaserleo]

they act just like the cheeky girls!

[ElleGee777]

This was great... my mom knew Perry Como and met the McGuire Sisters... such stories. Will this type of show EVER return??? I'm counting on Harry Conick Jr... who else is there?

[lovetheoldies100]

How did your mom have the chance to meet Perry Como? she was sure lucky -he's great!

[VideosTimes2]

I met Mr. C a couple times over the years after his live concerts in Ohio! He signed some LP's and was very nice.

[PrincessLittleRock]

@VideosTimes2

I wish I had met him too!!

[wcability109]

Heard this on the radio in england at 1:00 AM

[netcinema]

Each generation seems to have their own standard of what they see as excellent. The generation of the 40's and 50's was shaped by War and hard times. It produced 'character'. The 21st Century generation on the street answer to what is character would probably be...'someone in the movies'.

[everhard1000]

everhard1000

really DAT'S ENTERTAINMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothin' to add !!!

[USRoute66]

This is just amazing! Its hard to believe that at one time we had shows likes this on TV that were entertaining. Likewise, this was from an era when you really had to have talent to make it. So sad, how we have fallen to today's lack of standards.

[Profartiste]

That was TV greatest moments with real talented artists, great live musicians, incredible arrangements, funny scenarios and lots of love for the public.

[melbea03]

mcguire sisters were honeys

[VideosTimes2]

Yes...they are honeys in the morning, honeys in the evening...honeys at supper time....

[judymybaby]

This was great entertainment!

[ThirdandPine]

Sorry the ratings was disabled. I'd love to have given you a nice 5 star rating on this great video.

[sharlamay2]

What year was this Perry Como progam done?

Thanks,

Sharla

[PrincessLittleRock]

Very cute video!!! Thanks.

[ozleck33]

I just fall in love with them all, and their song

[BondiBeachGirl]

Ive always loved this song and wondered what they looked like. Thanks for uploading this.

[doktorebuick]

Thank you very much - that video is so lovely

[peterdaniel66]

Phyllis is adorable.. You could so easily fall in love with any of them real easily though... funny, smart and insanely talented.

Long Live the McGuire sisters!!

[VideosTimes2]

Phyllis just had a birthday on Valentine's Day, which was also Jack Benny's birthday! Phyllis did a lot of solo work while her sisters were raising families.

[dirtydkb24fan]

Here's a fun fact. Her neices birthday ,Claudia McGuire, is also on Valentines Day.

[JoeCamelCigg]

what song is he singing at 2:19 ?

[VideosTimes2]

Perry is singing "Magic Moments"...his RCA single that was climbing the chats at this time, and that his arranger snuck into "Sugartime" as a plug for his single.

[JoeCamelCigg]

Thanks, i knew i had heard that song before. One of the best!

[lake40]

it was magic moments

[oldiesfan52]

Where on earth did you find this?  It's great!

[sweethot56]

so cute.

[Newport1974]

Wow! I love this old stuff but it kinda makes me sad to watch because it shows how FAST Time has gone by.

[VideosTimes2]

Speaking of time passing by...I read in a Scottsdale, AZ, paper that local resident and McGuire Sister, Dorothy, and her husband just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary...all three McGuire sisters were there and pictured in the article.

[Blairpark]

This clip really is just great. Those girls could sing and Perry was as likeable a personality as you could find. BTW, Sugartime hit #1 in Jan 1958 so this video probably dates from early that year. It stayed at #1 for four weeks.

[waynebrasler]

The original record is just terrific. Coral had a sound quality matched by few other labels, including its mother label Decca. Its major arrangers did unique voicings with horns and strings and used dynamics in arrangements to a point few arrangers did. The McGuires, Teresa Brewer and other Coral artists suited this approach perfectly and accounted for the parade of gold records the label piled up.

[constantlyinlove]

I Love what a good time their having!And it's so innocent.There isn't anything suggestive like it is today

[hebneh]

Notice how, at the start of the song, the sisters have to tone down their usual vigorous singing to not overwhelm Perry's softer style.

I assume, from his last remark about rubbing Noxzema on their gold record, that 1) Noxzema was one of his sponsors, and 2) they might've gone into a Noxzema commercial right after this.

[VideosTimes2]

You're right on both counts!

[Mr1920s]

i have this song (without Perry) on record.

Thanks for posting!

[Mindfreaksabbath]

Is this from the 40's or the 50's??

[VideosTimes2]

Mid 1950's

[turbomaruz]

oohh love it... like how they remix it with perry's 'magic moment'

Beautiful.

[davidbng]

Whatever happened to these old golden oldies. Bangalore, INDIA

[Juliaflo]

Sweeeeet (and I use that term deliberately).

These people had talent, charisma, and CLASS.

Today's singers have as much charisma as an enema bag.

[mckinnons3]

Delightful!

[motorcitymiguel]

WOW! Wonderful...

[Ntittare]

Sugar in the morning sugar in the evening. Sugar varenda dag. Tänk så mycket sugar det finns i USA. Translation: Sugar everyday. Think how much sugar there are in USA. The refrain from the Swedish version. During that time it was common to make translated versions of German and American songs.

[fjbutch]

magnificent entertainment ...loved every gloreous second of it.

[VideosTimes2]

O you put it so well. Glad you enjoy it. I still grieve over not having REAL talent like Gisele MacKenzie, Perry, The McG's, etc. to sing for me. Such a sad state of affairs.

[norst1]

when did we loose good looking classy ladies and end up with run of the mill dime a dozen sluts???

[VideosTimes2]

I think it really started when the great variety shows like Perry's, Your Hit Parade, The Gisele MacKenzie Show, etc. were dropped by the networks! It seems to have been down hill ever since then!

[kfs025]

GREAT ARENT THEY!

[sparwood8]

They made it look so easy. Babes like this remind me of a song called, "Where did all the flowers go?" Today we just have weeds

[attyepc]

The wonderful 50's represented in the highest possible manner by the greatest singing group of the 50's and the best male singer of that decade. What a joy to watch and cherish!

[PumkinQueensMom]

They are wonderful!

[VideosTimes2]

Hey "Pumpkin Queen's Mom"...any chance that you, like The McGuires, are from Ohio? Maybe Circleville, the Pumpking Capitol of the World!!?

[PumkinQueensMom]

How did you know I was from Ohio? Not Circleville, though. And I have family in Miamisburg too. Those Pumpkin Festivals are alot of fun,but haven't been forever. :)

[PumkinQueensMom]

I love their music, and them!

[Blairpark]

This really is a great clip. It's hard now to imagine how big the McGuires were in the 50's. And the audio on this clip is superb!

[cheerydavie]

great piece of nostalga
