The Andrews Sisters were a close harmony singing group, consisting of sisters * LaVerne Sophia Andrews (contralto; July 6, 1911 – May 8, 1967), * Maxene Angelyn Andrews (soprano; January 3, 1916 – October 21, 1995), * Patricia Marie (a.k.a. Patty) Andrews (mezzo-soprano; lead; born February 16, 1918). All were born in Minnesota to a Greek immigrant father and a Norwegian American mother. Buck Privates, with Abbott and Costello, featured the Andrews Sisters' best-known song, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy". This Don Raye-Hughie Prince composition was nominated for Best Song at the 1941 Academy Awards ceremony. In 2001, the song was voted #6 on a list of 365 entries for Songs of the Century, having also returned to popularity via a 1973 rendition by Bette Midler. Universal hired the sisters for two more Abbott & Costello comedies, and then promoted them to full-fledged stardom in B musicals. What's Cookin', Private Buckaroo, and Give Out, Sisters (the latter portraying the sisters as old ladies) were among the team's popular full-length films. [1] |
