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.

The Lennon Sisters
I Will Wait For You
Consider the plight of today's performers. Each recording artist is plagued by songwriters and publishers to cut material. The better known artists are proportionately more beset.
In the realm of easy-listening performers, the best way to stay at the top is to be discerning. Poor material , poor selection, poor arrangements or poor recording work can be more disasterous than a poor performance.
Luckily the Lennon Sisters are well aware of this and have mantained a constant record of making outstanding selections. This ends with the proper choise of musicians, technicians and arrangers; but its very beginning is in the golden ear which gives them the edge in choosing material for their recording dates.
Theirs is the mystical taste which enables them to pick from the finest long known material needing little adaption to their own brand of performance quality, and it extends to the current crop of new hits which may have to be altered considerably to meet their high standards. Yet the foursome is infinitely capable of finding songs with the innate spark of greatness. They are able to choose and adapt only the finest for themselves.
On this session, the team works with familiar tunes in their own familiar style to create something entirely new from teh fertile subject matter involved. Borrowing material, but not manner from the original, the femmes create a "new" original all their own.
There is no imitativeness here. The songs are made to stand for themselves with support only from the Lennon Sisters. Each of teh creations has been taken because it has the unique strength to undergo alteration, and it becomes even more unique because of the adaption of the performers to this material and the feeling it bears within itself.
Beyond the beat that so determines today's hits, there is quality. It is this qualification that at once attracts the Lennons to their songs and the songs to Lennon-ization.
Listen here to the superb blending of material and performance in a half hour of accomplished artistry.
