The mere mention of the name the McGuire Sisters evokes images of 1950's America and comfortable white middle-class life and aspirations. Their work was the perfect musical em- bodiment of the popular culture of the period, of a piece with Snooky Lanson and Giselle MacKenzie on Your Hit Parade, and Dwight D. Eisenhower's America. Christine (b. 1929), Dorothy (b. 1930), and Phyllis (b. 1931) were from Middle- town, Ohio, the daughters of Asa and Lillie McGuire. Lillie McGuire was an ordained minister, and the girls' first singing experiences were in church-indeed, secular music was frowned upon in the household, and they had to sneak the Andrews Sisters and other popular acts into their regular listening
