Christine McGuire was born on July 30, 1926, Dorothy
McGuire on February 13, 1928, and Phyllis McGuire on
February 14, 1931 in Middletown, and grew up in Miamisburg, Ohio
where their mother was the minister of the First Church of Christ.

During their high school years, The McGuire Sisters sang at church
services and by the late 1940’s were touring veteran’s hospitals and
military bases before beginning their professional career singing at
supper clubs and on local TV.

By the early 1950’s they moved on to the Kate Smith radio show and
were winners of the Arthur Godfrey Talent Scouts, invited to
become regulars for the next six years on his national radio/TV
broadcasts and began recording for Coral Records.

“Pine Tree, Pine, Over Me” was their first national hit in 1954, but it
was their follow-up, “Goodnight Sweetheart, Goodnight,” that gave
them their first Top Ten and “Muskrat Ramble,” that duplicated the
effort. “Sincerely” was the first chart topper for the McGuire Sisters
and it would open the way for them to appear at New York’s
Waldorf Astoria and on to the big casino’s of Las Vegas.

The ride on the Hit Parade for the sisters would continue with
“It May Sound Silly,” “Something’s Gotta Give,” the inspirational
“He,” the theme from the motion picture “Picnic” and in
1958 “Sugartime” saw the McGuire Sisters once again with
a million selling #1 hit, followed by “May You Always” in 1959.
In 1961 they continued with “Just For Old Time’s Sake”

The McGuire Sisters have performed for five Presidents of the
United States, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter,
Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush and for Queen Elizabeth II.

Now retired, Phyllis lives in Las Vegas, while Christine and Dorothy
live in Scottsdale, Arizona.
