About the Song
When The McGuire Sisters teamed up with Perry Como to perform “Sugartime,” it was nothing short of musical magic. This classic tune, originally made famous by the McGuire Sisters in 1958, became even more irresistible with the added warmth and smooth style of Mr. Como himself. Together, they delivered a performance that was light, breezy, and full of the innocent joy that defined an era.
“Sugartime,” with its catchy refrain—“Sugar in the mornin’, sugar in the evenin’, sugar at suppertime”—is one of those songs that sticks with you. It’s simple, upbeat, and as sweet as its title suggests. The harmonies of the McGuire Sisters—Christine, Phyllis, and Dorothy—were always perfectly blended, and when paired with Perry Como’s velvety baritone, the result was a smooth, toe-tapping treat.
What made this performance truly special wasn’t just the sound—it was the feeling. Watching them sing together, you could see the genuine affection and musical camaraderie. It was playful without being silly, polished without being stiff. It brought out the very best in both acts—The McGuire Sisters’ radiant charm and Como’s timeless ease.
In the days of live television, when performances were delivered straight to your living room without flashy effects or post-production polish, moments like this were golden. And this one? Pure sugar.
“Sugartime” by The McGuire Sisters and Perry Como is a sweet reminder of a gentler musical age—when melodies were bright, harmonies were tight, and a simple song could make the whole world smile.
