BIOGRAPHY
During a time when teenagers were doing the jitterbug
and Uncle Sam was asking young men to enlist, The
Andrews Sisters were America’s most popular female
singing group. Patty, the youngest sister, was a loud
and energetic blond who headed the group with her
confident vocals. The middle sister was Maxene, a
brunette, whose harmonic range gave the impression of
four voices instead of three. Finally, completing the
trio was the eldest, LaVerne, a strong willed red head
with a witty sense of humor and an eye for fashion.
The Andrews Sisters versatile sound and range in genres
explains their longevity in the music industry and
popularity with people all over the world. They had
major hits in nearly all types of music ranging from
swing to country-western. This tremendous popularity did
not stop in the music business. The trio could also be
found performing in radio series, commercials, Hollywood
movies and on Broadway. |
