"In 1937, a young and vivacious trio of sisters from Minneapolis burst upon the music scene. They had fast and loud harmony, perfectly syncopated choreography, comedic flair, and matching pompadour hairstyles. They were Maxene, Patty, and LaVerne - the Andrews Sisters - three girl-next-door real-life sisters who would revolutionize and forever change popular music."--BOOK JACKET. "Today, the Andrews Sisters are perhaps best remembered for entertaining troops during World War II, exuding the enthusiasm and the positive national spirit that drew Americans together during the war. The trio's popularity soared throughout the 1940s, with hundreds of recordings, live shows, radio performances, and appearances in seventeen Hollywood musicals."--Jacket.

"Under the pressures of fame, changing music styles, and much-reported sibling rivalry, the Andrews Sisters disbanded temporarily in l953. They reunited in 1956 to record and tour again, performing until LaVerne's untimely death in 1967. They remain the most successful and enduring female vocal group in the history of show business."--Jacket.
