The Best of Anthology [PA]

Performer: The Andrews Sisters
Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA)

Notes: Before the Supremes, the Ronettes, or any other "girl group," the Andrews Sisters were THE American female vocal group. From the late 1930s through the early 1950s, the Sisters racked up hit after hit with their cheerful, dazzling close harmonies and brisk, relentlessly upbeat delivery. BEST OF ANTHOLOGY is a good bet for novices; one disc is a cross-section of their hits; the other is a DVD of the World War II-era movie PRIVATE BUCKAROO, providing some historical context for the Andrews Sisters' songs.

Modeling their career after the Boswell Sisters, an earlier singing family act, Minnesota's Andrews Sisters--Patty, Maxine, and LaVerne--were one of the most popular vocal groups of the 1940s and are synonymous with America's cultural zeitgeist during World War II. Adept at swing, jazz, and pop, the Andrews Sisters' talents extended beyond the recording studio and concert halls to the big screen, as they appeared in numerous Hollywood features during their career. Tireless supporters of the war effort, the trio were well known for their work with the USO, entertaining troops throughout the 1940s. The sisters performed, as a group and solo, until LaVerne's death in 1967.
