About The McGuire Sisters in brief
The McGuire Sisters were a singing trio in American popular music. The group was composed of three sisters: Among their most popular songs are \”Sincerely\” and \”Sugartime\”, both number-one hits. The sisters often were compared to the Andrews Sisters. The demise of the group is often attributed to Phyllis’ long-standing personal relationship with mobster Sam Giancana, which reportedly led to the group’s blacklisting. The McGuires moved when they sang, often executing dance routines in lavish production numbers on countless television specials. They retired from public appearances in 1968, giving their last performance that year on The Ed Sullivan Show. During the 1960s, the sisters maintained a busy television schedule, making frequent appearances on popular variety programs hosted by Ed Sullivan, Dean Martin, Danny Kaye, Milton Berle, Andy Williams, Perry Como, and Red Skelton.
The trio was dressed and coiffed identically, and performed synchronized body movements and hand gestures with military precision. They performed for five Presidents of the United States, and for Queen Elizabeth II. In London they performed a set for the Royal Variety Performance of 1961. In the 1990s, PhyllIs McGuire recounted that she and her sisters did not know any popular songs when they became famous, the trio imitated other singing groups long before their success. The sisters had mimicked that style, as well as those of the Mills Brothers and the Dinning Sisters ever since they were young, when they would perform short shows for family and friends in their parents’ living room. In an interview with Maxene Andrews in 1979, Maxene said in an interview on WOR radio in 1979 that the sisters were fine once they stopped imitating the Andrews sisters.
