Andrews Sisters
Wartime harmony trio
The Andrews Sisters were an American vocal trio—LaVerne, Maxene, and Patty Andrews—who dominated popular music in the 1940s with their tight harmonies and swing rhythms.
Their hits include "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" and "Bei Mir Bist Du Schön." The name evokes wartime nostalgia and close-harmony singing: They sound like the Andrews Sisters.
