    The Lennon Sisters are absurdly talented. Some of their songs are so gorgeously blended. They're somewhat overlooked as musical family history goes, which is unfortunate, because their harmony is amazing. Their children are excellent singers as well. Awesome that you highlighted them on your channel. I love the range of music you select!

    I'm in my 60's; grew up with the Lennon sisters and watching Lawrence Welk. I still watch old reruns to this day. The Lennon sisters were so popular and loved by many. I feel they got even better as they aged. Thanks, Fil, you're so special for giving all music consideration. I just love that.

    Watching your expression as you watched their performance was fantastic!! You are truly one of the younger generation that appreciates the diversity and quality of music throughout the decades. Thanks, Fil!! Love your videos and analyses....

    The Lennon Sisters sang at the 50th Boy Scout Jamboree in Colorado Springs. President Eisenhower made an appearance. I was in a band led by an ex WWI fighter pilot. It was a great experience.

    My grandfather and I had a tradition of watching Lawrence Welk every week back in the 1970's. It was a time when TV was wholesome and the entire family could gather around the set and watch without being scandalized. The Lennon Sisters were amazing, such incredible harmonies!
  • I am 74 now, but when I was a kid, EVERYBODY'S parents watched Lawrence Welk; consequently, so did their kids.

    my mom sang this song better than anyone. from the time i was 6 months old i was a very sickly child suffering a lot of pain and my mom used to sing this song to me for years to sooth me and put me to sleep. this is one of my earliest memories.
  • I grew up in North Dakota, where Lawrence Welk immigrated to. His show was one my parents NEVER missed. Also, he was German, as were my ancestors. My 3 sisters and I still joke today that our parents wanted us to be the Lennon Sisters. As much as his show gets made fun of, he had such great musicians. Thank you for analyzing this!
  • This was so AWESOME to watch...a young guy with an AC/DC shirt enjoying and appreciating The Lennon Sisters. And just a side note, Myron Floren, the accordionist on The Lawrence Welk Show, was also of EXCEPTIONAL talent. My all-time FAVORITE accordion player.
  • fil I genuinely love the way your love of music is not based on when it was made. you're the real deal Fil
  • I love how you explain the skill, slow down the sound to let us hear the vibrato, and sing examples helping an amateur like me understand! Thanks for making music accessible to me, Fil!
  • Just the act of staying on the right part of the harmony in a quartet is a skill that takes talent.
  • @brookandroad
    Love your technical analysis without losing your warmth and appreciation for the artistry. Well done!
  • @startsontime
    Your analysis is not just taking music appreciation to another level but causes us to re-examine the familiar and therefore predictable for the genius it truly was when it was fresh.

    Another 67 yr old that grew up with The Lawrence Welk Show and The Lennon Sisters. They were my Spice Girls 😄. I loved them! Every one of your videos is an education. Enjoyed the story behind the composing of the song. Thank you for all your hard work, and obvious love of all music. ❤
  • I recall them being on the Lawrence Welk Show. Delightful harmonies! Even live, they were always in tune. Fil, I love listening to your intelligent and comprehensive analysis. I always learn something! Thank you!
  • My pops worked with the Lennon Sisters at ABC...he loved it! They were very kind to him.
  • FIL, Love the fact that you cover, explain and react to all kinds of music. You're an absolutely awesome music teacher. Your videos are like attending the most wonderful music theory classes ever. 🎶👍🤗❤

    No autotune. Just their voices live. Good stuff.
