The Andrews Sisters, a hallmark of the swing and boogie-woogie eras, were an American close harmony singing group of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. Comprising three sisters: LaVerne, Maxene, and Patty Andrews, they became one of the most successful female groups of the first half of the 20th century. Their harmonious sound and charismatic performances won the hearts of audiences across the world, leading them to sell over 75 million records.
Their style, encompassing a variety of genres, including swing, jazz, and pop, was defined by lively rhythms and impeccable vocal interplay. Among their most famous hits were "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," "Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree," and "Rum & Coca-Cola." The sisters also made significant contributions to the war effort during World War II, entertaining troops and boosting morale. The Andrews Sisters' influence extended to television and film, enhancing their legacy as icons of their era. Although the group disbanded after LaVerne's death in 1967, their music lives on through re-releases and remixes, as well as in the nostalgic recollections of the big-band era. The various compilations and live recordings that are still being released, such as "Christmas With The Andrews Sisters" and "The Magic Of The Andrews Sisters," testify to their enduring appeal and the timeless nature of their harmony-driven music.
