Performer: The Andrews Sisters
Distributor: WEA (Distributor)

Notes: Includes liner notes by Don Ovens. Curb's Greatest Hits is an 11-track budget-priced collection that features some of the Andrews Sisters' biggest hits, including "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Anyone Else But Me)," "Rum and Coca-Cola," "Don't Fence Me In," "Begin the Beguine," and "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." Although this isn't a bad budget-priced disc, there are better collections available, offering more songs, more hits, and better sound for not much more money. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

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.
