The Brian Sisters: Introduction
T
his web site is all about
The Brian Sisters,
Betty, Doris and Gwen Brian, a young vocal trio of the
1930s and 1940s.The girls are rightly becoming popular again as more people become aware of their achievements and, especially, of their amazing musical talent.
They could arrange and sing beautifully from childhood, and thankfully we can all enjoy at least some of this. We can't (yet) whiz back in time to witness their lost radio and personal appearances, but we can at least enjoy what has survived the decades.
People joke that "Nostalgia ain't what it used to be" - it's actually true! In these days of the Internet the world has shrunk and it is possible to explore areas that once would have been completely out of reach. Nostalgia is far more accessible than ever before! Even this website is only possible thanks to that same technology. Depending on your point of view, it is either packed with nostalgia or is a modern showcase for a marvelously talented vocal trio.
All opinions in here are my own and are not necessarily those of The Brian Sisters or their Families. The facts, however, are verified as well as is possible, thanks to the exceptional kindness of Doris.
Browse in here, watch the movie clips and listen to radio broadcast clips, but please bear in mind that these come from seven decades ago and are not all in perfect condition.
Many of the movies are
available on DVD (in 2011) and most are well worth getting
in their own right. You might not see more from The Brian
Sisters than is in the clips here, but you will get plenty
of enjoyment from the films.Beneath many of the movie clips there is a comment on whether a DVD of the movie is available - but they may not be easy to obtain even if they are shown as available!
Also please bear in mind that many DVDs are 'Region 1' NTSC, so you might not be able to play them.
I hope that you enjoy browsing through this collation of material and come back from time to time.
Thanks for dropping by
