American singer Phyllis McGuire has left us at the age of 89, on December 29th, the last surviving member of the once famous The McGuire Sisters. Christine, Dorothy and Phyllis McGuire were famed for their synchronized dancing, sweet melodies and matching outfits and hairdos. They reached their zenith in the 1950's when they earned six gold records for hits including 1954's "Sincerely" and 1957's "Sugartime," both of which reached No. 1, 1954's "Goodnite, Sweetheart, Goodnite" and 1955's "Something's Gotta Give". The group was discovered on local television and got a big break when they were whisked to New York to perform on CBS' primetime variety show Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts in 1952. Becoming regulars on sprawling radio and television variety programs hosted by Godfrey, Milton Berle, Andy Williams and Perry Como, the McGuire Sisters became national sensations. Outside of singing, she tried her hand at acting, starring opposite her friend Frank Sinatra in the 1963 comedy Come Blow Your Horn. She is remembered by Hollywood ReporterR.I.P. Phyllis McGuire
