The McGuire Sisters - My Anthology

These 3 women created one of the most beautiful harmonic blend of any vocal group I've ever heard. Yes, some groups may be more sophisticated, or more swinging, but no one has come close to that vibrant, shimmering sound produced by Phyllis, Dottie and Chris. The production is first-rate too. Just gorgeous!!

Comparisons with other sister groups of the forties are often made, but are meaningless. They may have been influenced by the Andrews, the Boswells, the Dinnings or the Kings, or any number of other sister acts, but their style was very much their own.

The McGuires tackled a diverse range of material, from upbeat swinging song to tender love songs, and from jazz to country songs, yet all done in their trademark style, which was in some ways typical easy listening fifties pop, yet they didn't sound too much like anybody else. Despite the diverse sources of their songs, they all blend together very well.
