1950s Triplet Singers

The History 


Ruby Christine McGuire was the first born child in 1926, Dorothy Dottie McGuire was the second child born in 1928, and the last daughter was Phyllis Jean McGuire who was born in 1931. 

These three sisters were born in Middletown, Ohio and grew up to be famous singers together within the 1950's. 

The women grew up to be beautiful and have radiant smiles. There most popular hit songs were "Sincerely" and "Sugartime." 

It was said that these two songs were a hit back in the day and everyone loved the McGuire Sisters. Their music of genre was traditional pop. 

They were a singers together from the years of 1952 through 1968. It was said their mother was a minister but there seems to be no mention of the father.

Ruby died in 2018, Dorothy died in 2012, and Phyllis died in 2020. Although the causes of death were never released to the public.

Music Career

These woman all started singing together when Phyllis was just four years old and sang everywhere including churches, military bases,
and more. 

By the time the 40's came into the picture, which was when the girls were in their late teens and early 20's, is when they added some pop in their songs.

By looking at the pictures of these young women they look as if they could be triplets instead of siblings that were born at different years. 

The women got famous when they up rooted their lives to New York and met a man named Godfrey for a brief lucky encounter on a radio broadcast.

Once they performed for Godfrey they immediately won the contest and became regulars on his radio broadcast and his television shows. 

The song "Sincerely" was at number one on the billboard charts in 1952 and their song "Sugartime" in 1958.

They had amazing luck and charm to be long singers during the 1950's era. I hope these three women had the time of their lives and spent it without regrets.

Women were Disowned for Having Children Out of Wedlock

  Many women during the 1950’s gave up their children for adoption and it was mostly because of babies being born out of wedlock. Within this time ladies who got pregnant out of wedlock were shamed and disowned by their friends and families. They were considered a disgrace to the family to have a child before marriage. During this era, it was widely judged. Which I can understand why they would be disowned because they could not wait until marriage but on the other hand it happens sometimes. Many women gave up their babies up for adoption had the right to refuse to disclose the identity of the father. Lots of the ladies did choose to tell people who the father was but it was more common that the women refused to tell. Social workers at the time respected these women’s decisions about this situation. I personally have mixed emotions about this topic. I do not think that people should be ashamed for having children out of wedlock but still should be widely influenced to hav

4 Scandalous Outfits in The 50’s!

This TikTok video shows four scandalous outfit styles women wore in during the 1950’s era. Jasmine Chiswell has put together great examples. It is interesting to know that during this time period women wearing tight short shorts was considered clothing that made people talk bad about. How it brought a bad reputation to some by just wearing these shorts. Today many people wear skintight shorts but that is the norm in society. During the 50’s women were to wear modest clothing and look like a presentable housewife. You were not to wear anything that counteracted this image. This representation could be good for some but bad for others if they did not wish to follow this norm. Coned shaped bras are quite strange I have to admit. They are pointy and do accentuate a women’s chest. I can understand where people were coming from when coned bras were labeled as a scandalous piece of clothing. They bring lots of amount of attention to a women’s chest area and could make some feel unco
