The Andrews Sisters Recordings
During the war years, as big band music filled the airwaves, America found its sweethearts in a trio of sisters from Minneapolis. The Andrews Sisters—Patty, Maxene, and LaVerne—were more "girl next door" pretty than pin-up glamorous, and their songs sparkled with the optimism and pluck that helped countless G.I.s endure the long months overseas. This 84-recording collection captures the buoyant spirit of the sisters across nearly 40 hours of vintage broadcasts, from their early days on Decca to their celebrated appearances alongside the era's biggest stars.
Collection Highlights
- Rare radio appearances with Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Frank Sinatra, including beloved collaborations on "Don't Fence Me In" and holiday specials from 1942 through 1951.
- A remarkable range of programs—from "Club Fifteen" and "Kraft Music Hall" to V-Discs and "GI Jive"—showcasing the sisters' versatility in both song and comedy sketches.
- Moments from their storied career that made them the first all-female group to sell a million records, including performances from their 17 films like "Buck Privates" and "In the Navy."
- Volume 1 through Volume 4 feature broadcasts from 1940 to 1957, offering a chronological journey through the trio's evolution as America's wartime sweethearts.
