The sisters got their break on the Lawrence
Welk show in 1955 where they performed for thirteen years. They
were dubbed "American Sweethearts of Song" and outside
of the Lawrence Welk show they toured the country endlessly
playing State Fairs, charitable concerts, conventions
and church concerts. From 1960-1964 Diane left the group to
get married but later rejoined them. In 1968 they went on their
own. In 1969 they had their own show Jimmy Durante Presents:
The Lennon Sisters. Unfortunately six weeks before the
shows premiere a deranged fan shot and killed their father.
The show only lasted one season. Still they were guests on nearly
every variety show on television and have performed for six
U.S. Presidents. In the 1970s they toured regularly with Andy
Williams and also performed on his television show. The Lennon's
trace their roots to Co. Cork, Ireland.
