THE LENNON SISTERS

IN CONCERT WITH

THE 17 PIECE

TOM FRIES ORCHESTRA.

"ALSO PERFORMING: 3 OF JANET LENNON'S GRANDDAUGHTERS"

This sparkling vocal quartet graced the Lawrence Welk Shows weekly from Christmas Eve 1955 to 1967 when they left to start a career of their own. The Lennon Sisters (Dianne, Peggy, Kathy and Janet) grew up in Venice, California, being the eldest four in a family of 12 siblings. They earned a contract with Coral Records, thanks in large part to Welk. Their first hit, "TONIGHT YOU BELONG TO ME," reached number 15 in the 1956 charts, followed by their highest charting record, "SAD MOVIES (MAKE ME CRY)" in 1961, almost five years later. In 1969, the sisters starred in their own variety show, Jimmy Durante Presents the Lennon Sisters Hour. This show lasted one season before it was ended by all four girls after the death of their father. In the 1970's the sisters performed regularly on the Andy Williams Show and toured with Williams across the country. From 1994 to the present they perform as headliners at the Welk Champagne Theater in the Ozark Community of Branson, MO where the act consist of Janet, Kathy and other sister Mimi. In 2001. The Lennon Sisters were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.
