For the past two and a half years Lawrence Welk has been presenting on his two weekly TV shows the young and lovely Lennon Sisters. Their refreshing young voices, natural blend, untutored simplicity, and their unaffected charm have endeared them to millions of viewers in this short time.

In this album, Lawrence Welk presents them at their delightful best, singing some of the songs that have contributed to their universal popularity.

Among the selections performed by these remarkable youngsters are such folk ballads as "Scarlet Ribbons," "Greensleeves," and "I Remember Mama," all of which elicited so many requests for repeat performances that it seemed advisable to put them on record, to be heard again and again.

For variety, and to illustrate the versatility and adaptability of these young ladies, they are heard also in such standards as "Too Marvelous For Words" and "Have You Ever Been Lonely," joined in the latter by one of their TV cohorts, the young and personable Larry Dean.

Another of the famous Welk crew, the sensational New Orleans clarinet artist, Pete Fountain, lends some Dixieland atmosphere to the girls' rendition of "Mr. Clarinet Man."

Without "gimmicks" or vocal tricks," the Lennons make their impetus on the record field like a breath of fresh, pure air.

Let's meet the girls individually, according to age. Dianne is the oldest, sings the lead and is featured as a soloist on the Welk shows. Peggy is next, has a delicate soprano voice and carries the high harmony parts. Kathy, third in order, has a wide vocal range and sings the low harmony. Janet, the youngest, talented and graceful far beyond her years, has captivated millions of TV viewers with her pixie face and sparkling eyes. She completes the quartet, and is also heard in solo spots.

Obviously, a brief biographical sketch can't describe the tremendous visual and aural appeal of this fabulous foursome. They must be heard and seen to be fully appreciated. It is hope that this album will provide, at least, the listening delight that can be found in the company of the Lennon Sisters.
