These singers debuted on The Lawrence Welk Show in 1955 after their school classmate, Larry Welk, son of Lawrence Welk, brought them to the attention of his father. They were a mainstay on the show until they left to start a career of their own in 1968. The quartet was only three members from 1960 to 1964; oldest sister Dianne got married, left the group, and then rejoined them again.
Over the decades, they recorded many albums. Their first album was on Brunswick Records and later on Coral, Dot, Ranwood and Mercury. They have recently released four CD volumes of songs taken from their own ABC-TV show.
They are not related to the Beatle John Lennon.

The Lennon Sisters' "You Are So Beautiful" is a love ballad that expresses profound admiration and affection for a loved one. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, as they describe the singer's feelings of awe and adoration towards his significant other. The chorus repeats the same lines throughout the song: "You are so beautiful to me/ You are so wonderful to me/ Can't you see?/ You're everything I hoped for/ You're everything I need/ You are so beautiful to me."
The first verse establishes the theme of beauty, with the singer expressing how beautiful his loved one is to him. In the second verse, he expands on his admiration for her by saying she is wonderful to him. The repeated chorus reinforces these sentiments and emphasizes how significant she is to him. The line "Can't you see?" encourages the subject of the song to recognize how important she is to the person singing.
The overall message of the song is that the singer's lover means everything to him, and he cannot help but praise her beauty and excellence. The song incorporates the idea that the physical attractiveness of a person can pale in comparison to other qualities, such as kindness, faithfulness, and compassion.
