I am captivated by all of them! Their voices, faces, smiles, charm, everything! However, I personally like Kathy best- she's freaking pretty, sounds like an angel and she sings alto, like me. :)
AM I the Only one "in love" with Kathy lol..apparently Peggy was and still is the "little darling" of all male posters in this page :-). THey are all beautiful, indeed and each one of them had that special look in their eyes and very precious smiles.
You all know they are old ladies today, right.... The youngest is well into her 60's .... The two oldest Dianne and Peggy retired, both in their 70's. Some of the comments kind of creep me out..... Take a cold shower with some saltpeter. Yes it is very angelic and sweet, before my time but I appreciate it. I love the SNL spoof on the Lennon Sisters where one has big forehead and tiny tiny hands.
@SerendipitousJ - Are you an engineer? Peggy's forehead isn't proportional? Do you keep Tuperware in your China hutch? I am trying to be polite, but I have to know what's wrong with you.
HEY! You guys leave Peggy alone. Me & Peggy go back to the 50s. Staying at Grandma's house on Saturday we were "subjected to Lawrence - but staring at Peggy, and sometimes Kathy, got me through.
@smokinzack You are correct. I grew up with them, went to elementary school with them and their brothers. I will never forget the funeral for their wonderful dad Bill. That was in August, 1969. Bless their whole family.
You're hitting close to home now. I used to watch it as a kid in '58-kool! They're such a beautiful group of excellent singers. Regards, '62 Mathew St. (Total Retro Rock)

It really is a rip off of the Polonaise Héroïque of Chopin. Listen Carefully and then check some online version. They at least loaned the harmonic progression.
Note that every sister is performing the song with different facial expressions. They are not like four puppets on a string. There was never a sense they'd been instructed what to do every second but rather that they'd been beautifully rehearsed.
All four are lovely. But if I were, say, a 14-year-old boy living in that era, I would have had a major crush on that youngest one Janet. Oh, that smile just knocks a boy over!
I too had a sever crush on Janet.. I grew up with her and was forced to watch the Welk show until she came on .. from then forward.. everyone else had to watch Around me.
They sang at Melodyland in Anaheim CA.. Diane introduced her parents and they were sitting in the first row right in front of me.. After the show, I got down to her dad and asked to meet Janet... 30 mins later I was standing there talking with the sweetest petite young lady I have ever known.
EXCEPT the dancers and MY LENNON SISTERS. I LOVED them then and I love them now. I was TOTALLY in love with the youngest of those stars. I tried to call her phone but my parents wouldn't let me make a long distance phone call.
I will have to agree with you 100%. Dee Dee is the perfect "Girl next door " . No doubt about that, but my heart still belongs to Peggy,she is just the prettiest ,sweetest little gal I have ever seen !!!
Peggy seems to be a favorite of many who are commenting here. I have always thought there should be a picture of the teenage Dee Dee in the dictionary next to the phrase "girl next door." And, like, millions of others, my reaction to Janet has always been -- "Isn't the little one adorable?" But they're all lovely and talented, aren't they?
This is the kind of decensy we lost , nowadays all you see seems stressfull and rushing while a song like this one is soothing , i miss the old days .(even if i still am young .)
I'm just old enough to remember when they became tabloid fixtures, especially Peggy--in the late sixties they were on almost as many movie magazines as Liz Taylor and Jackie O. Those were the days...
Yeah, the stories were so tame, so lame...but the glossy magazine covers were BEYOND melodrama!
I LOVED those old movie magazines! Still do. Years ago I stumbled into a little place called the Nostalgia Shop that had all these dusty cardboard boxes filled with old Photoplay, Movie Mirror, Rona Barrett's Gossip and the like--for pennies each--and my reaction must have convinced the store owner that I was having convulsions. lol!
She resembles her wonderful father, much more than the other three. Probably not many people outside of family have seen his pic, but she does resemble him. Sad he was killed in 1969.
kathy on the left, dianne on the top and peggy on the right --little janet in the middle. it is kathy who is the stunner of a beauty, not peggy--hehehe
Peggy sure is a captivating pretty little gal. The way she sings straight to the camera is so romantic... and she does have perhaps the most beautiful eyes and loveliest smile on the planet!
Oh, yes! Peggy is sooo beautiful...with the most beautiful eyes and loveliest, most precious smile on the planet, Peggy will always be the dreamiest!
This is a very difficult song based on a classical theme. It almost defies feeling because it has no highs or lows. The Lennons through a thoughtful and clever arrangement develop the song to its maximum potential.
@waynebrasler The sisters all aged well; I think that's traceable to having early show business experience in taking care of one's health and appearance, and of them all living family lives where home life was kept as normal as could be under the circumstances. Their religion also played a role. By all accounts, their public selves were their private selves and they didn't feel squeezed to play roles in the interest of public image. They enjoyed life and people.
The Lennon Sisters will forever be my favorites! I collect their memorabilia and I too love my Lennon Sisters snack tray :-) I have it all displayed in my kick back and relax den :-)
I will love these girls and all their singing "till the end of time". Every performance they do is so amazing. How many other fans have the Lennon Sisters-Lawrence Welk collectible snack tray on the wall or shelf of their favorite room like I do? Their smiles just make my day.
I do, I do! I've got their cute 50's snack tray mounted right above my TV, so their wonderful smiles are the first thing I see in the morning to start my day!
Beautiful girls singing so beautiful. Could you please post at least one Semonski Sisters video, preferably one of them singing the some song that the Lennons have song so I could get a comparison? The Semonski Sisters were hired after the Lennons left the Welk show; I could not find one video by them on youtube.
Hauntingly beautiful. Every time i listen to them sing this time i get goose bumps.
