Lennon sisters

The Lennon sisters are an American vocal quartet consisting of Dianne, Peggy, Kathy, and Janet Lennon, known for their harmonious pop and traditional standards performances on television and in concert.

The group began performing locally in their hometown of Los Angeles before being discovered by Lawrence Welk, who featured them regularly on his weekly variety show from 1955 to 1968. Their signature close‑harmony style and wholesome image made them a staple of mid‑century American entertainment, and they recorded numerous albums for labels such as Dot Records and later for their own label. As of 2026, the surviving members — Dianne (born 1939), Peggy (born 1941), Kathy (born 1943), and Janet (born 1946) — are in their 80s and occasionally appear at nostalgic music festivals and tribute events. For more background on their television career and discography, see the Wikipedia entry, the Encyclopaedia Britannica article, and the AllMusic artist profile.
