God, how beautiful was Phyllis?

[rkmugen]

man.... even in their 80's... they still sound incredible!

So did they have a big comeback? When did they stop again? Phyllis sure doesnt let anybody else talk!!

@spintation The comeback was a great success with lots of TV appearances, club and theater dates. Their last appearance was on a PBS tribute to the 1950's music about three years ago, that is constantly rebroadcast during PBS pledge drives. The strange and sad thing is that although their 'comeback' years lasted longer than the original career, they never made a recording as a trio, although several projects were announced but never materialized. Phyllis did cut a duet with Barry Manilow.

I'd love to listen to the full version of their "You belong to me"... it's the most beautiful rendition I've ever heard.

Pop Divas for sure! I think the only girl group that carried on the class like The Mc Guire Sisters, was The Supremes, Diana,Mary & the rest of them.

Thanks for this video!!

No you are wrong. You have to add The Andrew Sisters & The Lennon Sisters.

[jazzroomcabaret]

@ChopGaMan You're right...and don't forget the Boswell Sisters, from the early 1930's who were the inspiration for the Andrew Sisters...another important group was the Trio Lescano, from Italy...lots of the songs that the Andrew Sisters sang had been composed before by the Trio Lescano!

Isn't that a pleasure to remember these fabulous times and sounds?

[fatmoogas]

Actually they were in their mid to late fifties.

[justinbluehall]

Classy ladies.

[sparwood8]

For sure, and they were in their verylate forties. These babes love life, though... This has an effect on how they look. CLASS... and the world needs more women like these ones

@sparwood8

No. They were 53, 56, and 58.

Now they are 79, 82, and 84.
