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.

Marilyn Monroe Mask 50s

This is a stunning Marilyn mask for those who love the 1950’s! The mask has a quote directly from when this famous actress was alive and has her signature red lip. They made this item out of cotton and has a black background. They included her bleach blonde hair and with winged eyeliner. My mother has this exact same mask and she wears it everywhere. It reminds me of when she got her Marilyn soap bottle that she got in her bathroom. She loves all items that consist of this actress.

Pinup Girl Poster Gift for Those who Love Vintage!

Pinup Girl Poster Gift for Those who Love Vintage! This woman has a cute 50’s styled outfit. She has a blue hat, long V-neck striped pattern shirt, blue skirt, clipped tights, and black and white shoes. The background on this art has two clouds, symmetrical trees lined up and a lake. What I noticed next was the big fish and the log she is sitting on. From this poster she looks as if she is fishing and what is she fishing for? I would say fish, but others would disagree. This woman has bright red lipstick and curly hair as well. I imagine this art in a man cave since it gives off the vibe of sexual appeal. I do not want to categorize so I think some women would love this poster in their home as well.

What Was Valentine's Day Like in the 1950s

Many people in this era loved Valentine's Day not only because was it is a fun holiday but it is a celebration of love!
