History

The Andrews Sisters were an American close-harmony vocal trio from Minneapolis, Minnesota, formed as children in the 1920s and active mainly from the mid-1930s to the mid-1960s. The group consisted of three sisters: contralto LaVerne Andrews (1911-1967), soprano Maxene Andrews (1916-1995), and mezzo-soprano/lead singer Patty Andrews (1918-2013). Working with orchestra leader Vic Schoen and Decca Records, they broke through nationally in 1937 with "Bei Mir Bist Du Schön" and went on to define the swing and boogie-woogie sound of the World War II era with hits like "Beer Barrel Polka," "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree," and "Rum and Coca-Cola," several recorded in collaboration with fellow Decca star Bing Crosby. They toured extensively for the USO to entertain Allied troops during the war. The sisters are estimated to have sold around 80 million records and were among the inaugural inductees of the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1998. Their close harmonies later influenced artists including Bette Midler, Christina Aguilera, and Pentatonix.
