Same Song, Separate Voices; made for television version

I finally got to watch the Lennon Sisters pledge special last Sunday, let me just say I was not disappointed at one bit.


As you well know, the title of the special comes from the Lennon's best selling autobiography of the same name. It's a retrospective of their career in showbiz starting from their Christmas Eve debut on the Welk show to today.


And along the way, they made plenty of fans and friends, some whom are interviewed on this special.

Famous folk like Kathie Lee Gifford.....


.....and Andy Williams to name a few.


But the stars of the show are the Lennon Sisters themselves.


This special covers all the goods, not just from the time as members of the Musical Family, but when they worked with other showbiz heavyweights like Perry Como, Johnny Carson, Jimmy Durante and of course, Moon River Boy himself......


....plus all the trials, tribulations, tragedy and the joy of discovering Branson are covered too. If your public television station is carrying the special during it's pledge drive, make a date to watch it, or tape it, or do both.


It's just like reading the book, only it has moving pictures!

A Lennon Sisters sighting

A huge thanks to my friend Peter for the heads up....

But first, just to clarify....these two aren't the Lennons.

In fact, they are Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford (yes...the same!) hosting the 10am portion of NBC's Today Show.

And right in the studio, watching them...is Janet and Kathy!

And from what I learned, they were in New York this week at a toy show....sharing the magic of their Best Pals dolls to the five NYC boroughs plus Long Island, Westchester County and New Jersey.

And Kathie Lee mentions that Janet and Kathy are good friends too!

Here's the link to the Lennon's Best Pals site just for a refresher....

....and the actual clip, which the real fun happens three minutes in.
