The Lennon Sisters
This sister act had a 13-year gig on the Lawrence Welk show, from 1955 to 1968, followed by a one-season variety show with Jimmy Durante.

Re: Nino Tempo and April Stevens
In memory of April Stevens, here's her recording of "Alone," a song first heard in the Marx Brothers' "A Night at the Opera" in 1935.

That grammatical error exists because the English lyric was written to be sung by a man but was very clumsily rewritten for female singers. As originally written by Norman Gimbel it goes, "She looks straight ahead, not at me."
