This blog was created so I could showcase my vast collection of Lawrence Welk albums. From vinyl to cassette to cd, I want to show everyone what hard work and determination can yield when searching for out of print material! This blog is meant solely to showcase my collection, and to preserve the images and information on the album covers themselves. Music downloads will not be offered here.

Lennon Sisters
For the past 15 years the public has watched the Lennon Sisters grow up. Starting with their first television appearance on the Lawrence Welk Show in 1955 when Janet was 11, Kathy 12, Pegy 14 and Diane 16, the girls have grown to become wives and mothers and ever more accomplished performers. And the public's fondness for them has grown apace over the years as it watched the four sisters on television and in their many personal appearances and listened to their records.
The Lennon Sisters have always had a special knack for taking an old familiar song, or a current pop hit, and making it their own. They have made old songs new again and brought popular rock music to a wider audience.
Some of the songs receiving the Lennon treatment in the past have been "My Favorite Things," from the Broadway hit and film "Sound of Music;" Pete Seeger's "Where Have All The Flowers Gone;" and the Mamas and Papas' "California Dreaming."
This album continues in the successful Lennon style. The girls sing "ode to Billy Joe," Bobbie Gentry's enigmantic smash of a few years back; Frank and Nancy Sinatra's father and aughter duet, "Something' Stupid;" and Lenny Welch's current hit, "Breaking Up is Hard to Do," the title song. The perennial favorites "Fascination," "Sunny," and "Tammy" are here too, transformed by the Lennon Sisters.
The sound and style that has made the Lennon Sisters loved across the country is here again. Here is a mixture of old and new songs the Lennon Sisters have made their own just for you.
