The Lennon Sisters on the NBC Follies.

[@donchallans185]

Four beautiful ladies.

[@sherylsoreson9790]

These are not the sisters Welk showed us. LOVE IT,

[@eloisewalker352]

What a treat. So glad I stumbled upon this. Beautiful music, and talented, classy Lennon Sisters. And the comedy skit was so funny. Loved it. Brought back good memories❤️

[@gjm1953]

I don't thin the Lennon Sisters got enough credit as singers. While they were on the Welk show it was always about how cute they were. This sequence shows how really good they were. These were some very tight harmonies.

[@henryseidel5469]

Indeed you are right. But don't forget how old they were when they started their career, and how long they stayed in business. They always made a pleasant impression, no matter how old they were and what they sang.

[@walterbriggs272]

Wow! That’s a different look 👀 and it fits well

[@Exotic3000]

This looks awesome! ❤

[@dorothybradberry6155]

Always loved them as a child and still do.

Samy's knocking off Pigmeat Markham's "Here Come Da Judge" routine from the "Chitlins Circuit" of vaudeville. Sammy and Pigmeat both did the bit on "Laugh In".

old entertainment school in the best sense of showtime tradition

I wish I were in Sammy's shoes during those skits just to be close to those beautiful Lennon Sisters whom I've always thought walked on water !!!!.

[@danielbarnett1614]

They were great!

[@joanwayling2354]

Love the Lennon sisters 💕 😊

[@TonyGPizza]

The Lennon Sisters were/are beautiful and talented. But audiences wanted beautiful, talented, and wholesome and were not quite ready for this.

[@ja20585]

I think this was done when they were in Las Vegas

[@CecileEdwards]

I saw the lemon sisters in person back on the 80s in Sacramento CA and they were really fantastic

[@CecileEdwards]

I meant Lennon

[@stevebrennan1309]

They were all so fit. Those were tough moves.

[@taurnguard]

They waited a LONG time to break away from Lawrence Welk to do something like this.

[@Hambone571]

Yep, Lawrence would NEVER have allowed this.

[@OofusTwillip]

Welk wouldn't have allowed it on his own show. This show is from 1973. The Lennon Sisters still appeared on "The Lawrence Welk Show", and would until 1982. And they still do links for the syndicated repeats.

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

@@OofusTwillip The Lennon Sisters left the Welk show in 1968.

[@pitsnipe5559]

I had a crush on the youngest one when I was a boy.

[@Sonny_V]

Oh Yeah, what red-blooded American Boy Didn't?

[@stevebrennan1309]

Janet....me too

[@zibbyzubb]

They were so great. I am sure Lawrence Welk choked on his soup when he saw this.

[@bwenluck9812]

@zibbyzub He was dead by this point....

[@zibbyzubb]

Ummmmmm, do your homework before you comment. Lawrence Welk died in 1992. This NBC Follies Show was from 1973. Welk was not only still alive, but his television show was still on the air. @@bwenluck9812

[@TonyGPizza]

No he wasn't. Passed in 1992. @@bwenluck9812

Love this video 😊

Talent is as talent does. Brava.

[@EricJaffa]

They packed a lot into those 13 minutes.

[@CatherineKeehn-l6k]

Family entertainment. No cussing, no overt sexuality. Just singing dancing and comedy! How nice!

[@walterbriggs272]

Boy they sure grew up fine lookin!

[@opaulamorgan4265]

This was cute cute!👏

[@doriemckay6935]

they were cute being sexy. attractive and funny 😆

Mighty risque for these Lawrence Welk refugees!

[@coldlakealta4043]

boy, did they grow up!

[@marinahansen5964]

The mics were above them. No lip-syncing

[@royhowell3954]

Have heard that Lawrence Welk thought it was scandalous for a woman to show her knees. All that leg beginning at 2:50 must have brought him close to havng a stroke

[@walterbriggs272]

Sammy Davis lookin good

[@judybernatt5343]

Your Grammys generation. 💕

[@bkny555]

They are lovely and talented. Unfortunately they have lost the Class and Dignity they had when they were young. This performance is the opposite of what I remember them to be. But they are obviously very talented and could have gone in any direction they wanted.

[@CecileEdwards]

Oh please what are you a prude?

[@williamzander4732]

They took care of themselves they watched what they ate and alcohol and drugs . You don’t look that good without trying 😂

[@joefagan6244]

The Lennon sisters could have tap shoes on.

[@OofusTwillip]

The Lennon Sisters are obviously lip-synching. The "wireless microphones" are just props. The technology wasn't good enough yet, and wouldn't be until about 1980.

[@ja20585]

I watched the Lennon sisters, perform in Branson for years. They are friends with our family. They would never think of lip sinking. They are remarkably talented. They work endlessly for perfection. They are the best vocal group I have ever heard.

[@ja20585]

Sammy Davis, Junior. An entertainer and a completely different class than most.

[@lethaluks2942]

What year was this?

[@OofusTwillip]

1973

[@kellylynneden1977]

They have legs lol. If you watched Vicki Lawerence show interview you know
