What a treat, I enjoyed the Lenon Sisters on the Lawrence Welk show in the early 50's wit my dad. Dad was the bouncer for Lawrence in Nebraska and South Dakota many years before. Thanks Vicki for having the Lenons on your show. I enjoyed every minute.
It’s the breathing . . . They breathe in sync, with a melody. A glimpse of God’s gift to the world. Thank you so much for sharing your gift. Thanks praise and glory be to God Almighty.
It must be their special secret!!! I wish I could sing even a little bit. So breathing properly is the key then. I could try ,,,,, practice. Mist likely a no. I haven't that range of talent. 😔
Every Saturday night was family around the TV watching The Lawrence Welk Show. We love watching everyone perform especially the Lennon sisters. God bless, Linda
Ours too...the 60's were a magical time to be a kid, thanks to our wonderful, present parents, who made weekend nights with Lawrence Welk, Jackie Gleason and Ed Sullivan a staple in our homes.
I just loved the show on the Lennon Sisters on Vicki 1994. It brought back very many memories that my face was streaming with tears. I learnt so much about them from the movie mags my family bought during the 1950's, 60's and later. I used to love their Anniversary Waltz and I don't know why and still do. They have changed very little over the years. The years truly have been kind to these wonderful home girls. Thank you dear RUclips for this excellent video and congrats too to the wonderful, down-to-earth Vicki without whom this show would not have been possible. Truly a gem and long live the gorgeous Lennons!!!
As of this writing (mid-2023), the Lennon Sisters are still persevering with a vengeance. Diane and Peggy have retired, while Kathy and Janet still have the group going with their sister Mimi. God bless 'em. Pure class.
The Lawrence Welk Show was a mandatory watched show in my home but it didn’t feel mandatory to us. We didn’t watch much tv but The Lawrence Welk Show was a requirement 😂🤣!! I think that is amazing that they have their children and hopefully someday their grandchildren join in. May God continue to bless your families!!!
A step back to my childhood for sure! My name is JANET and I so identified with Janet Lennon. I would sing “ with them” each week as I watched the Lawrence Welk show. I wonder if they are all alive today in 2023?
How wonderful and amazing tv use to be because of the excellent values and morals that we all grew up with this is what a call the True Americans in our beloved usa
These lovely women are timeless and such great ladies. I sang in the L.A. studios fir 60 years and worked quite a bit with Janet, whom I adore. Carry on, girls! 🎶
I became a huge fan of the Lennon Sisters from watching reruns of the "Welk Show" on PBS television over these past years. This is my favorite lineup (no disrespect to the addition of their equally talented and lovely younger sister, Mimi, following Peggy's initial retirement). Their acapella rendition of "Yesterday" was superb, but the jazzy "Fascinatin' Rhythm" with their daughters knocked it out of the ballpark! May God continue to bless the Lennon family, and may they continue providing that beautiful music we've come to enjoy so much!
I live in Southern California. The Lennon Sisters used to sing regularly in the John Wayne Theater inside Knotts Berry Farm. One day, I ran into two of the Lennon Sisters who were shopping in Virginia's Gift Shop just outside of the Knotts park.
I grew up with Lawrence Welk and all those on the show as well as all the Big Bands, Al Jolson, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Liberace, Bob, Hope, etc. I'm glad Lawrence kept the show the way it was and the music. That STILL is all the music I listen to today because music was melody, harmony and sensible rhythm! Rock and roll brought screamers, pig callers and instrument bashers!
When the whole lot of them sang America the Beautiful I nearly cried. It was so beautiful. Thank you Lennon family, all of you are wonderful people. May God bless you and keep you! ❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐💐
Someone once gave us tickets to a kd Lang concert. During the show, she said: "I have a confession to make. I am a Llllllllllllllllawrence Welk fan." And the audience cracked up.
I enjoyed this so very much! I grew up loving and listening to them, and I still play my Lennon Sisters' CDs on my IPod! This show answered many questions that I have had over the years. Thanks!
Absolutely loved going down memory lane watching Lennon sisters on Vicki show. Was a big fan of sisters on Lawrence Welk show. I especially loved the song they sang about why they looked different from each other! Would love to hear it again! Good bless Lennon family!
The absolutely most interesting piece of trivia from this is that Janet's hubby pulls out each sister's part, sings it into a tape, sends it to her, she learns HER part and then they get together and . . . voila!
Actually know this Family who are NATIVE to VENICE here in California. Always had a thing for DeeDee Lennon major CRUSH. She was as well my 7th GRADE Teacher temporarily.
At about 5 years old I listened to them hour after hour and then I learned how to sing each part one after one until I perfected each one. Then when when I finally got to sing in a choir,as a high school freshman, I was almost a seasoned professional. I’ve enjoyed singing in many choirs and was able to sing harmony completely by ear. I’ve sung in many choirs and was able to sing backup on several recordings. I’ve loved singing all my life. Sadly, in 2001 I had stage 4 throat and tongue cancer that in 2004 left me without much saliva and eventually by 2020 has left me unable to sing much at all. I miss singing so much because to me it has taken much of the joy out of my life. Oddly, however in 1964 I became one of the first waves of huge Beatles fans. I got to see them live in 1964 and again in ‘65. However, now I am able to listen to all the old Lennon Sisters intermingled with the works of John Lennon and wonder if they weren’t somehow cosmically related. It’s just way too much to if a coincidence. Isn’t it?
Yes SUPER ❤LADIES and I Was One of their long time fans Aland I still Love and Admire them All❤ 2023 THEY STILL ARE SICH PRECILUS LADIES ❤DEE DEE, PEGGY KATHY AND JANET@ I EVEN WORE MY HAIR AS SHE DID AS A TEEN AND EVERYONE LOVE.MINE TOO❤ GOD BLESS YOU ALL NOW🎉 !
"Wings of Pegasus" who's an expert guitarist in Britain, ANALYZED ALL of the sisters' song (when they were children)in his video quiet well. I wonder if EACH sister had tried to sing a different part than the one each was assigned, if their sound as a quartet might have changed in even a more different way, than they did on their recordings?
I always think it is funny that IMO none of the sisters look like each other at all, but each of their daughters look exactly like them. I think it is sad that even as adults they idolize their father, when he was a controlling stage father, always pushing them to perform anywhere and everywhere they could, no matter what the conditions, and took their money, even bragging about it. It's in their book.
11. They had 12 but the youngest, Mary, was hit by a car at age 1. It seems odd that they would have allowed a baby to just be walking around that close to the road, but they did. Kathy went after her but her mother pulled her back lest she be hit too. It sounds all kind of odd, actually. This was all in their book.
Few knew the Lennon Sisters were communists! They sang songs like RED Sails in the Sunset, and their very name (Lennon) was really "Lenin." (This was an old radio talk show gag.)
Vicki is a little hyper BUT that’s part of her CHARM. Being a successful talk show host is incredibly hard. You have to multitask times five. Vicki is very much a talent. And carol Burnett trained her well. God bless you Vicki. Best wishes..
Not to disrespect anyone but there was the king family. Always love Christmas with all generations thank you Mr well! Love to the the welk family all of them!
I ❤️ love them all!!!! Lennon girls are the best thing that ever happened to us growing up!!! Beauty, talent AND perfection!!! 🥰
Good Clean family fun! Brings back great memories ❤️

Vicki thank you so very much. I grew up with the Lennon sisters and the Lawrence Welk show
You can tell this was the 90’s. They still sing songs of America and people were decent. Sad to see it all changed.
Larry, notice the Lennon sisters suffered tragedy of death of their father - as John Lennon was killed!! The name Lennon!!
It’s the breathing . . . They breathe in sync, with a melody. A glimpse of God’s gift to the world. Thank you so much for sharing your gift. Thanks praise and glory be to God Almighty.

They have such an exceptionally beautiful Sound.
Those harmonies are just gorgeous!

Does anyone know which one is married to Mondo, one of the co host on the Jim Bakker Show?
It's amazing how so many members of their family are talented singers. They all have the gift of harmony.
Classy, talented ladies. Every young (then) kid like me was in love with the lovely Lennon sisters. How could you not be?
The Lawrence Welk Show was a mandatory watched show in my home but it didn’t feel mandatory to us. We didn’t watch much tv but The Lawrence Welk Show was a requirement 😂🤣!!
I think that is amazing that they have their children and hopefully someday their grandchildren join in. May God continue to bless your families!!!
The female in the brothers band is awesome! Can't get enough of her voice.
A step back to my childhood for sure! My name is JANET and I so identified with Janet Lennon. I would sing “ with them” each week as I watched the Lawrence Welk show. I wonder if they are all alive today in 2023?
Me too...
Me three 😅❤
I believe they are.

you can't beat sibling harmonies-the best-

Wow 👏 the lovely Peggy Janet Di-Di and Cathy

All the Sisters are Beautiful….❤️
I enjoyed this so very much! I grew up loving and listening to them, and I still play my Lennon Sisters' CDs on my IPod! This show answered many questions that I have had over the years. Thanks!
Thank you, for having all the Lennon's sister s on .... 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗♥️👍
Loved the Lennon Sisters since I was a child . Janet is only one year older than I am. Followed them all those years on the Welk’s show😊
I really enjoyed the show. Thanks to the Lennon you have always been my favourite fans. Thanks to you too Vickie. God bless you all.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A good interviewer doesn't interrupt constantly!!
They look great. All of them.
Absolutely loved going down memory lane watching Lennon sisters on Vicki show. Was a big fan of sisters on Lawrence Welk show.
I especially loved the song they sang about why they looked different from each other! Would love to hear it again!
Good bless Lennon family!
I had Lennon Sister Paper Dolls
The absolutely most interesting piece of trivia from this is that Janet's hubby pulls out each sister's part, sings it into a tape, sends it to her, she learns HER part and then they get together and . . . voila!
Beautiful singing harmony of Beetles. Yesterday ...❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh, I was crazy about the Lennon Sisters! I had their paper dolls.
So sweet. Strong women. I love them .simply because they are strong honest women.
Actually know this Family who are NATIVE to VENICE here in California. Always had a thing for DeeDee Lennon major CRUSH. She was as well my 7th GRADE Teacher temporarily.
She was very beautiful. My pick also. What was she like as your teacher? Hopefully as nice a person as she is on TV.
I used to watch you when I was young
Yes, I grew up with The Lawrence Welk Show!!
Still, all are so very vèy 😍 Pretty

!
beautiful family
I love Vicki and this was her show! Honestly people can be so unkind.👀
Love Vicki. She does a good job 😅
geeeez, I wasn't even 26 yet... this was an entire lifetime ago. I remember it very well, though. Oy, the good ol' days.
Oh, Janet....you're killin' me, just like1957. Love you to pieces.
Vickies hair looks so good here, she should go back to this style.

I remember the Lawrence Welk show
Wow 👌👏😮👌👏
It is a shame Lawrence Welk kept them as little girls as they were exceptionally well paid for the singing they did.
No they weren't exceptionally well paid. They made scale for 13 years, until they left. I don't remember the exact amount but like $125 a week.
I remember the trumpet player years ago had an out of marriage “affair “and eventually had his marriage annulled to marry one of the Lennon Sisters. .
Peggy was my favorite.
Where do u find footage like this?
Probably vcr
The oldest Lennon is Diane
But she is usually called Dee Dee.
Yes Diane is her name. I was about yo say who is Dee Dee .
Are there any pictures or videos of them now ? Brought back such memories .
Jimmy Durante helped them after the Welk Show debacle.
Welk made it a debacle. It didn't have to be that way. He didn't own them, nor had they signed the rest of their lives over to him.
@@su-rv2uq I never said otherwise.
What year was this show ?
Lawrence Welk wouldn't let the Lennon sisters singing a Beatles song.
What an old Fuddy-Duddy!!
How many kids in their family ? 9
11. They had 12 but the youngest, Mary, was hit by a car at age 1. It seems odd that they would have allowed a baby to just be walking around that close to the road, but they did. Kathy went after her but her mother pulled her back lest she be hit too. It sounds all kind of odd, actually. This was all in their book.
Vicki, shame on you for interrupting so much! Otherwise it would have been a much better show.
I know, that’s what I was thinking .
Love what Vicki does. No interrupting at all. Her show should be back on the air. Better than any of these other talkshows
Great interview but wish all of the sisters would talked more rather than mostly Kathy.
I associate polka with Poland, I forgot Germany has polkas as well.
I’m ap
what is this barber shoppe all stars or what?
Pick one woman🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Few knew the Lennon Sisters were communists! They sang songs like RED Sails in the Sunset, and their very name (Lennon) was really "Lenin." (This was an old radio talk show gag.)
I don’t even think as a joke this is even funny.
She is so loud, can’t stand Vicki
The 'host' is a terrible interviewer, interrupts all the time.
I agree with You.
Vicki has always been one of my favorites. She is so talented and was terrific on the Carol Burnett Show.
Can hardly stand Vicki as she is so loud and rude, always interrupting her guests !!
Vicki makes the show. Love her.
Vicki is a little hyper BUT that’s part of her CHARM. Being a successful talk show host is incredibly hard. You have to multitask times five. Vicki is very much a talent. And carol Burnett trained her well. God bless you Vicki. Best wishes..
Shame Vicki talked so much, how did she get that job?
Vicki is rude, she interrupts her guests all the time, so annoying !
Your comment is annoying.
How did Vicki ever keep her job ???? Not a good interviewer at all !
She's awesome. Love her as a host.
Not to disrespect anyone but there was the king family. Always love Christmas with all generations thank you Mr well! Love to the the welk family all of them!
Vicky and them damn gums...Lordy!! 🤣
