I got to know Dorthy back in 2001 and believe it or not I sang with her at a Christmas Party In Tucson Arizona. Her husband Lowe and son own Fairfield Homes here in Tucson and I worked for them for 4 years. And they actually live part time at one of the homes I built in one of the FairField Home jobsites...She is a wonderful Lady.
They come from the days when you had to have talent and your voice wasn't enhanced by computers to sound like you can sing. Also from a time when making noises, being almost completely naked, stoned or drunk and every other word wasn't baby, didn't exist and what you looked like didn't matter.
this series of clips (other groups too) is one of the most annoying and fake things on youtube. it's obvious the audience is not applauding continually in reality. They're already applauding and you hear them "START" to applaud during!!! it sounds like continual applause with someone simply controlling the volume, instead of an audience actually starting and finishing to applaud. Number of claps should vary, not just the volume.
@wattever333 GET REAL! Showbusiness is JUST A FANTASY, an I LLUSION ok? Enjoy it for what it is...Do you think people become "mega stars" on PURE TALENT? ENDLESSS sexual "favors", drugs, alcohol, PAYOLA, and even devil worshipping is "waht it takes" to "make it" so whenever I see a "star" I just try to enjoy their work, and not think of all the hard work, and horrible circumstances they have had to endure for a fistful of money.
@rioboy13 wow. my post was the starting point for your angry rant? or maybe you just replied to the wrong comment. all that anger. wow. I don't disagree with what you wrote. I just said the original program from which these clips are taken is not well edited. I'm talking about editing. editing. editing.
@joeylikeslots Well, dearie, I'm not. However, if The Girls want to have huge plastic surgeries so they look like the Brides of Frankenstein, that's fine, but they know they'll be out there for all to see and "all" can either go oooh and aaahhh, or they can point and giggle. The Sisters have had to know that. I don't care if they have enough surgery so that their ears meet on top of their heads---however, this is America and I can say what I want about whatever I want. Stick to your slot.
@joeylikeslots Oh, for heavens sakes, grow UP! I can say whatever I want about them. They had plastic surgery, which is their right....just like it's my right to comment on it. And the world is full of people like YOU who get their underwear in a bundle about other folks' opinions. Leave it alone.....
@joeylikeslots Never said I was! Just that it's so obvious that you can't get by anything else. Their voices are still magnificent......too bad they have been caught up in the Eternal Youth quest as so many celebrities have been. PLUS----I am entitled to my opinion...so leave it there, OK?...and stick to your slots.
Holy plastic surgery! Oh, well....at least , they all went to the same surgeon, it looks like. Thank heavens, they didn't tamper with those beautiful vocal chords. Love those wigs---who wouldn't want their hair to look like that?
Clearly part of the agreement for the McGuire Sisters to appear on the PBS special was no closeups (no medium shots either). And there are also an unprecedented number of cut-away shots. They want to be remembered by how they looked back when they recorded these hits and that is their right.
Sorry but I think that is soon vain. Nobody looks super great at there ages but their voices still remain the same. I sure that they are still lovely women.
AWESOME!!! When a kid milking cows with my parents and sister in the old milking barn, we listened to the ole radio playing the McGuire Sisters sing Sugartime!! What memories!! They are the BEST ever!!
these women are absolutely amazing! they sound as good as they did in their heyday, and they are just simply gorgeous! something has got to be in their genes to have kept them in their beauty...and just look at those figures...wow!
how i loved them when they were america's darlings. and how i miss their music. what a treat.
phyllis, dorothy and christine, thank you for all the memories, and this special gift. you're the best!
When I saw this show, I was in tears watching this segment--my Dad Loved--LOVED these 3 gorgeous ladies, & he never--ever, missed a chance to see them. He also loved Julie London, Barbara McNair, & Kay Starr, as much to look at them as to liten. Jo Stafford was his very favorite, but ohh did this bring back the memories--bittersweet as they are. Especially, Sincerely. Wolfsky9, 64 y/o now.
This really bothers me...I did not write the comment about them being drag queens and now wonder how this happened. I say a lot of stupid things but this isn't my comment.
Can you believe that close harmony. Simply the best. They do not need musical accompaniment. I do remember seeing them on the Perry Como and Arthur Godfrey shows. It's stirring when they sync-up for Sugartime. ...welllllllll...
I had heard a recent interview with Phyllis. She said that her sister Christine lives with her sister Dorothy and her husband in Arizona now. But that they talk on the phone frequently and sing along with each other, and still perform together at family functions. But for the most part they have been retired since the 70s although did an occasional special performance such as this.
Give them a break "Mike6E". You didn't have to include that transvestities BS in your comments. They were in their 70s when this was produced. Wish I could look as good as anyone of them when I reach that age. Hopefully I do reach that age even though at this time I'm not sure I want to.
I never get sick of seeing this video I think the girls look wonderful and yes Sam would be so proud.......they have figures to die for then and now long may they reign from a lady from England.......
Wow- Christine is now 80, Dorothy is 79 and Phyllis is now 78. Granted, they've had some major work, but wow they can really sing, can't they? And folks, this is MUSIC, no the garbage we have to hear today. Nuff said
@seledge I think it should be law that once over 70 you can receive free plastic surgery...I mean c'mon, ya made it that far, you really deserve it!! LOL!!
I don't know how many people got that crack, but I sure did, and as a HUGE fan of the McGuires -- especially Phyllis -- it gave me a good laugh. Thanks.
I'm looking for PBS special that at the very end two men, one black, one white were singing Til Then, if anyone has that could they put it up in its entirety?? I really love it.
WOW!! I am overwhelmed!! Talent, beauty, grace, class, perfect harmonies, NO LIP SYNCING. A lesson for all of these "singers" posturing on the music scene today...
