These 4 legendary ladies of movies and recording joined forces during the mid-1950s to form the Hollywood Christian Group to sing gospel songs. Albums, singles and TV appearances followed including this one - in which they perform a medley of spirituals. Connie, who sang with the Harry James and Tommy Dorsey Bands during the 1940s, sadly died on 22 September 2008 at age 87. May this TV clip from 1954 serve as a tribute to the petite singer with the big voice. Rest in Peace Connie.

I bought the CD release of all their songs this year and never thought I would actually see a video of these 4 lovely singers and/or actresses performing together!

God bless Jane Russell. She was a voice of sanity in a wilderness of insanity.

Flemming and Russell were two spicy meatballs...I look forword to meeting them "up in glory"

@Garbo46 I was surprised to find out she was a Christian, but it's good that she had a strong faith.

This is from the Colgate Comedy Hour, Easter 1954 starring Abbott and Costello. You can buy the show on a ''3 movies on 1 dvd' disc - I got mine in the £1 shop. It contains Laurel and Hardy 'Flying Deuces', Abbott and Costello 'Africa Screams' and the Abbott and Costello 'TV Show'. This is a terrific little clip. These four stars do not appear anywhere else on the disc though.

This is GREAT! RIP Jane!

@LovelyJanie21 The names of the songs are in the choruses; e.g. 'Do Lord.'

@felipebrasil5 Obviously you don't have a clue who these lovely ladies are honoring. This is super.
