The Andrews Sisters were a highly successful close harmony singing group of the swing and boogie-woogie eras. The group consisted of three sisters: contralto LaVerne Sophia, soprano Maxene Angelyn , and mezzo-soprano Patricia Marie "Patty" Andrews. Throughout their long career, the sisters sold well over 75 million records (the last official count released by MCA Records in the mid-1970s). Their 1941 hit "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" can be considered an early example of rhythm and blues or jump blues.
This video clip is from Buck Privates (1941), one of three Abbott and Costello films featuring The Andrews Sisters, who were also under contract to Universal Pictures at the time.
