The most successful female group
of all-time, the Andrews Sisters will always be associated
with World War II. Their most memorable songs, such as
''Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,'' ''Don't Sit Under the Apple
Tree'' and ''I'll Be with You in Apple Blossom Time,'' were
among the most popular during wartime. Born and raised in
Minnesota, the sisters began their professional career in
1933, touring with the Larry Rich vaudeville troupe. After
the troupe broke up six months later, the sisters took
whatever singing jobs they could get to earn a living. In
1936, they finally landed a steady job with Leon Belasco's
society orchestra. It was with Belasco where they first met
arranger Vic Schoen, who would later become their musical
director. In early 1937, Belasco cut a single with the
sisters. It went nowhere. Their father finally convinced
them to come back to Minneapolis and attend secretarial
school. They were packing their bags when Schoen, who was
then with Billy Swanson's orchestra, invited them to sing on
a radio program. Decca A&R vice president Dave Kapp heard
the broadcast and invited the sisters to his office. After a
short audition, he signed them to a contract.
They made their first recording
for Decca in October of 1937. Soon after, they had their
first number one hit with ''Bei Mir Bist Du Schon,'' a
novelty tune originally recorded as a B-side. Their unique
vocal arrangements and tight harmonies quickly made them one
of the most popular musical acts in the country, with a
string of hits and regular appearances on radio. In 1940,
they made their first of many film appearances, in
Argentine Nights. During World War II, they performed
often for servicemen both in American and abroad. After the
war ended, their popularity began to wane, and they
concentrated on recording duets with other well-known
artists, like Danny Kaye, Guy Lombardo and Carmen Miranda.
In early 1951, they left Decca, and in 1953, split up, with
Patty going solo. In 1956, they re-united and signed with
Capitol Records, re-recording their old hits along with some
newer material.. In the early 60s, they recorded for Dot
Records. In 1966, Laverne left the group due to illness. The
following year, she died from cancer. Maxene and Patty
continued working together until 1968, when Maxene retired
and Patty resumed her solo career. They re-united in 1974
for the Broadway production Over Here. They both
continued solo careers well into the 90s. Maxene died in
1996.
