My dad Herb met the Andrews sisters at one of these armed forces shows. Patty, the blonde one, pulled him out of the crowd and danced with him. Dad never could live down all the compliments and congratulations
@@thegamingdragon952crum4 Your comment doesn't even make sense. You call b.s. - why ? How could you possibly know if it's false ? - but then you back up and say it's cool if true
My dad, a WW!! vet, liked the Andrews Sisters, and his favorite was "Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree," by them..He has been deceased for 45 yeras, and would be 103 in October.
My dad was a WWII veteran and would listen to these old songs when I was growing up. I always thought they were corny but now that I'm old I understand them on a different level. They heartened a nation at war. They were beautiful.
Aw u made me cry! I miss my Dad so much! He was a Navy Pilot & stationed at NASJAX during WWII. He also was Discipline Officer & had to confiscate all the booze. I asked him once "What did you do with all the liquor?" My Mom spoke up chuckling & said "We DRANK it ofcourse!" LOL!
I met Patty Andrews when I worked For an orthopedist in Encino California. She came in 3 times a week for physical therapy for a sprained ankle...she was warm, charming, funny, down to earth, and always smiling.
Wrong. That's why they say either you got it, or you don't. According to your theory everyone can be a concert pianist, or a nuclear engineer. Sorry to burst your PC "we all dun beez da same" bubble mentality. Not everyone gets a trophy. No soup for you!
The amount of pure talent these women had is astounding. They were some of the best performers probably ever. They had such good chemistry together, they clearly were good actresses, they enjoyed performing, they good harmonize like no one else could…They were truly priceless!
I play trumpet, format in this era big time, giantly appreciate their style and performance, nothing, nothing and nothing compares to what those beautiful singers did back in the day!
My Great Aunt Bessie was one of the first women to enlist in the Women's Army Corp (WACs) in 1943. I wrote a thesis about her when I was in college in 1982. She died in 2010 at age 103. She was my hero!!!!!!
Take a closer look...the uniforms Patty/Maxine/Lavern wore were 'military-style' but NOT actually military.None of them were ever actually 'enlisted-in-service' ...despite that, they were just as 'serving' as any other women during WW2 and personally recognized by FDR as 'vital to the morale of the armed-forces and civilians as well" and received commendations from the President himself! (the hours they put in performing on every 'Front' during the war was incredible...Maxine said in the '60's that "We didn't have a day-off for over two years...but we didn't mind so much when we saw what those boys went through and how happy they were to see a live-show from us and everyone else...I never heard of any performer ever complaining of 'working' then...we saw it as a privilege to help them forget the War for awhile". (not well-known was the fact that "Andrews Sisters" were enormously popular in Germany itself...even during the War! Their records were 'officially banned' of course...but they were highly prized, even being traded for 'black-market' items like real cigarettes and liquor)
Their harmonies are tight. They're comparable to CSN. I can't imagine the sort of music they'd have cranked out had they gotten started during the '60's/ early '70's.
My dad, who would have been 100 tomorrow, loved this music. He survived WW2 and taught me to love this music. This song and IN the Mood are my 2 favorites of all time. Thanks for sharing!
Same here. Miss my Daddy - WWII vet from USS Colorado. True heroes came out of that time and many hav left us. Lift your head and. hold it high - the Greatest Generation is passing by.
@@neoflyboyyour blaming the wrong people. Blame ALL the evil governments that caused the war. There’s so many of our guys and gals that didn’t come home that can’t enjoy the music either. Also what about their families!
Yes, truly. There's a lot of thought and work behind this performance, and super tight rehearsal. Everything is gorgeous, brilliantly synchronised, and brilliantly concieved. Each little move, each expression, no doubt much of it naturally effervescing from the girls, go together to make this something special. Brilliantly studied, but fresh, filled with genuine punch and pizazz. It is real showbiz, at its best.

I'm a black man born in 1964 I list my dad at the age of one in 1966 in Vietnam I loved the Andrew sisters this song is timeless their synchronized voices and the improvisational sounds in this song are amazing I feel they are america's greatest womens' singing go up I love me some Andrew sisters'.
My dad went there when I was 5 and came back when I was 7. He wasn't military but he working for the government.I never got a straight answer from him as to why he was there but he wasn't with air America.Or maybe he was I really don't know.
I was born in 1964 and my dad did two tours in Vietnam. I was brought up with great American music with Andrew sisters included. Truly amazing good ole days with wonderful real clean and fun music.Great memories .
easy, because todays so called musicians/singers have no talent just computer gimmicks, we will never see the likes of the Andrews sister, Glenn Miller and Dame Vera Lynn again so sad
You can have music like this any time you want it. That’s the beauty of “now”. Any genre you care to listen to is available in a few key strokes. Listen to whatever you like. No music remains the same over time. It would be pretty boring if it never changed. “Old folks” always lament whatever music is contemporary. Rock and roll was going to corrupt the youth of the day and be the end of civilized society. I’ll bet there were plenty of detractors of music like the Andrews Sisters. Before that “ Mairzy Doats” was derided as garbage. Fifty years from now, the 20 year olds of today will be listening to whoever was popular in 2024 and saying “Why can’t we have music like this now?”.
I am a musician of over 50 years. I started when I was 10 years old. My parents use to put their voices together and sing all the time. But when they broke out with Chattanooga Choo Choo one day I liked it. Then I use to watch the old war times movies where the Andrew sisters were singing and really fell in love with them. Today a lot of musicians have no clue of Three Part Harmony and the Andrew sister kicked it in the HEAD!
Making people happy has nothing to do with Salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by God's Grace are we saved through faith, not by works, it is the free gift of God, not that anyone can boast of their Salvation."
I've learned to appreciate and love old music. The way they sang and spoke was so hypnotic. Such a brave generation, may these beautiful gals rest in peace
I watched the ww2, B17 bomber movie Memphis Belle, and the main thing I remember is the nice radio song all the crew listened to while flying to target
Making people happy has nothing to do with Salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by God's Grace are we saved through faith, not by works, it is the free gift of God, not that anyone can boast of their Salvation."
Absolutely! This music is before my parents time but listening to it gives me such a good feeling. As dark as the times were they had such a sense of joy and wholesomeness that we seem to lack now.
Damn the Andrews Sister's are gifted and talented: they're scathing, beboppong, sashaying, cakewalking and backing it back with impeccable rhythm, harmony and timing.
They are very talented but I would be very surprised if they are actually singing and dancing, or at least they probably are but what you are hearing is a studio recording. It's very common for these type of scenes because there's too much background noise going on.
This song is timeless! I'm a heavy metal rock fan, but I majored in music in college, & I know great music when I hear it. Just the fact that this one's been covered SO many times speaks to how very GOOD it is. Hope we never lose our ability to "swing"!
Awh, so glad you love all music now! I love my rock and metal, but my God was there so many great big band and individual jazz musicians from the 30's all the way to the 70's and beyond. Keep listenin'!
@@cdfdesantis699 listen to the `daunt-dahhh!' measures they sing at the end just before the closing flourish. I feel like if you hyped that up on a big guitar you'd have a riff worthy of Jimmy Page or Dave Navarro - the part is really uncannily rock-and-roll for 1941. Whole song is really far more wonderful than I realized when I was young. eight-to-the-bar, baby..
Man I never ever get tired of listening to the Andrews Sisters doing their gigs. They sure could sing! I was born in 58 so I'm a baby boomer but I grew up listening to music like that. Great stuff for sure!
I have a huge soft spot in my heart for, not just this song, but the swing era music in general. My mom and dad lived through the WWII era and I picked up my enjoyment listening when my dad played piano versions. The band leaders seemed to have a talent for using all their resources to create bright, powerful music with a big sound.
My father came home from Europe. Listened to this music everyday. Even when I was in the womb, I got drafted into this music history. Time has passed and most of our heroes are gone. I'm sixty-five, and I have played the piano all of my life. These is my favorite pieces I play for the young . And they love it. God bless America and to those who made us great. Thank you for your gift of music.
Love ya brother or sister! My dad took a bullet through his chest and out his arm in the Bulge to hand us a free republic and I'll be darned before I yield my God granted, Constitutionally protected rights to any one or group. I'm 62 and keep the living flame alive, with no partisan party or religious prejudices. This and many other forms of music help us rise above the partisan fray, yet right and wrong, good and evil DO exist and it Is vital to discern the difference. Music helps carve out the common ground, but a Stalin or Hilterite could savor the same tunes and be working to thwart the survival of the ideals our parents fought for...
God does not Bless a nation that does not want him or believe in him or his Son Jesus Christ and worships men and women heros and sex with anyone or anything is great and we created many sexs and LGBTQ is good and abortion is good. We are reaping what we have sown.
I've watched this clip (literally) a couple dozen times and each time the performance blows me away. Note the harmonies were before auto-tune and multi-track recording/mixing. This is pure talent of the highest caliber!
One take. It was kind of the basic standard then; acoustic/analogue, can either pull it off, or not. And a lot of really good musicians did it for fun, had their day jobs.
The Andrews Sisters boarded a train one evening in 1944 after having performed in Ottawa, Canada. My future mother, who had lived & worked in the city, was boarding the same train, headed for Saskatoon in order to marry my future father. She was accompanied by three of her friends who wished to wave her good-bye. When the party of four got to the train station, where many Andrews Sisters' fans had congregated, my mom quipped "Oh, my goodness! I didn't think this many people would be here to see me leave". All involved in this story are now gone, but the husband of one of the gals who'd accompanied Mom to the station is still alive. He clarified some of the points of this story. He was a Canadian heavy bomber pilot stationed out of England, eventually earning the monicker "Crash", due to several (four) hair-raising combat mission escapades with the various craft he was piloting. I've carried this insignificant little story with me for decades, & feel I've finally found a forum in which to share it.
Many have tried to cover this song and do it as good as these ladies did it, but they all fail in comparison to the Andrew Sisters. These ladies had class, beauty and voices that no one could touch. They still give me shivers in 2016, we need more music like this.
I've listened to a lot of the newer groups doing this style and they can't seem to match this level of harmony and that personal touch. If they can get that down, we'll see this make a comeback.
Its almost like one voice. They are so together in their singing, perfection in their performances and recordings. Wonderful presentation, tone quality, diction, expression, etc. flawless
@ Eddie Huss Yes. It's three voices from one family that makes their sound SO harmonious. It's the same DNA singing three parts, so it's always going to make a unified sound that CANNOT BE mimicked! 😉
I'm a trumpet player and can relate to their situation. They grew up as little girls when their dad ran a brass band or a band that had a horn section in it I mean and they learned to sing together like a horn section and so they always throw in brass type mannerisms to their singing and noises. It's a beautiful thing to see and hear.
@@stevedahlberg8680 Yes. I didn't know that their father had a band, but it's not surprising. As a vocalist myself, I can tell you that voices that share the same DNA can blend like no other. These ladies were truly something!
@@stevedahlberg8680 I sometimes like to lookup the lives of interesting, famous people. The parents of the Andrews Sisters were restaurant owners, and LaVerne, the oldest by several years was an accomplished pianist. She played piano for silent movies at the local movie house to pay for singing and dancing lessons for herself and her sisters. So it's true they were around music and performance from an early age. I don't think any other group, male or female, was exactly like them or was their equal!
Mine too. USS Colorado . I think we children of WWII veterans will always love the music of that time because it reminds us of our heroes - they live in our hearts forever.
I spoke to Patty in November of 2012 over the phone, a few months before her passing. Although she sounded quite ill, she still had such a bubbly personality when her sisters or past came into topic. Her nurse would assist with the brief conversation but it was so heartwarming that she knew she was deeply loved by tons til the very end.
I'm 66 now. I can remember when I was a young boy before the beatlemania. I used to sit around and listen to all my dad's 78. Glenn Miller Tommy Dorsey Frank Sinatra Bing Crosby The Andrews Sisters and many more. The greatest generation. they knew how to dance and Jam. And never let the darkness get them down
THE greatest generation ever. Those who gave us the most amazing lives and fought to protect freedom in these once United States. So divisive now, wish we could get people to be more United. 🇺🇸 Wonderful video and such talent, thank you for sharing this video. Classic
@@bovnycccoperalover3579 after reading your comment, I thought to myself, "maybe depression is good after all". I mean, the depression makes people value life more. I've noticed war torn countries, people aren't necessarily happy, but they're appreciative of life
When I get to missing my Dad, I listen to these old songs he loved. He and my uncle were on Normandy beach on D day. Dad was the only one to make it out. He said they saw the Andrew sisters while on leave and they were swell.
never forget your father, such a great and brave generation, i salute him , and thank him and all veterans for keeping my family safe..god bless him and your family..
My dad was a D-Day vet too. OMAHA Beach 6/6 🥰. He went back and I actually have sand from Omaha Beach. God Bless those boys. They were truly the greatest generation. So brave, selfless and patriotic.
My Mother sang this to me when I was a baby. Her mother sang it to her during infancy as well. I was born in 1994 , my mom in 1969 and my maternal grandmother in 1939. Fabulous song by very talented women.
Thank you to everyone contributing a story here! Your stories are real American treasures! I appreciate being able to learn about these loved one that you describe. Your love and respect for them truly shows. God bless each of you!
I got my father a record player for Christmas one year, and albums of the Andrew sisters, Benny Goodman, Bing Crosby,this was the music of his youth,the way he acted was like I gave him the best gifts ever,He is gone now,every time I hear this music,I always think of him

@Johnny Angel hehe ya genuinely a fool if ya believe that certain genres are bad. It confuses me how we don’t love all genres of music (like myself) and just dislike certain artists who promote things I dislike. Listen to a letter from god by scroobius pip. He’s a rapper I think you would appreciate as it isn’t intense nor aggressive. Don’t shun things you haven’t experienced fully. Find something new and develop as a human should 😊
The Andrews Sisters were magnificent because they had style, rhythm, and pure talent. But what makes them stand out even 70 years later is what may not be apparent with the first few viewings. Literally everyone in this clip was in uniform, which was not surprising since the movie Buck Privates, from which this clip came, was filmed during the Second World War. The United States was a very different country from the way it is now. America was truly a united collection of states, and the Andrews Sisters were in the right time in the right place with the right style and talent to give America the opportunity to band together in a life and death struggle.
It's really sad to see what america has become . I wish I was born when America was united and togather. All the sacrifices those world war generations gave to protect our freedoms and the future generations just 💩 all over it . Along with the elected politicians and attorneys ,big corporations and bankers who also 💩 on our constitution and American values . It's like I've woken up from a long slumber and no longer recognize my country. Its ruined and the new generations coming up are entitled, narcissistic little brats who have no respect for the elders who fought for our freedoms and made sacrifices and actually sacrificed their own lives for our freedoms and this is what they got for the ultimate sacrifice of their lives .its like they died in vein. Everything evil is now good the nuclear family is bad , the patriarchy is bad and if you were born white you are guilty for everything that happened in our history that we had nothing to do with .. its madness. And now our southern border is wide open and yet Biden wants to send troops across the world to protect borders of Ukraine which could start wwiii . There is no unity in america we are divided and our enemies know it ..
@@annaverano5843 Amen. Great and sadly accurate post. My Dad enlisted in WWII on his 18th birthday. He was a true patriot all his days. I miss him so much but at the same time I'm glad he isn't here to see the corrupt mess our beloved country has become.
RIP the Andrews Sisters LaVerne Sophia (July 6, 1911 - May 8, 1967), aged 55 Maxene Anglyn (January 3, 1916 - October 21, 1995), aged 79 Patricia “Patty” Marie (February 16, 1918 - January 30, 2013), aged 94 You will always be remembered as legends.
The Andrew Sisters were amazing "sassy ladies", that helped America usher in a feeling of Patriotism during World War ll. They had amazing harmonies...what entertainers!
@@mojocrouse Of the 16 million that served around 1 million saw combat. Of them 5 % deserted... I just wonder what happened to this portion of the greatest generation. Where are they today.? What are their stories.? Or are we to caught up in the belief that this generation is without fault to tell this story...
If I were a GI during this time, their music would absolutely lift my soul & I’d probably be just as crazy about them as all the other GIs. These girls were something special. Sometimes people come along at the right time.
I wish musical artists of today had this kind of talent. They should have a radio station dedicated to playing these old songs by the original performers.
There are many talented artist. I don’t know why people insist on saying that there is no talent in current music. Christina Aguilera was inspired by them for her Candyman song
This is just a fantastic piece! Those Andrews Sisters were magnificent! They were all so appealing and delightful, sang like angels, and could really get down and cut a rug!
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv Okay, John. I'll amend my comment to say they sing about as well as any human can when they are thus gifted by God. We all know what we deserve, but there was the One who came to redeem us, and as long as we believe in Him, we needn't face that lake of fire, and that is according to God's plan for us humans, whom He loves so dearly.
@@northerndarklight5305 :The proper response to a comment made by a self righteous, judgemental and holier than thou individual!.As the good book says, we sometimes have angels among us (in human form even) without us even realizing it.
The story I read was that the Andrew Sisters were told that they had to provide their own choreography for the scene. They got some help but it was mostly a spur of the moment type thing.
My Aunt Victoria was in the U.S. Navy for most of her entire life, I helped her pick out her casket .My Aunt Victoria was my hero , she wanted me to follow in her footsteps, but I came down with epilepsy at a young age. My Military career never happened, because I had a grand- mal seizure , and I lost my memory . My Aunt came to see me, she said Luna they say you have lost your memory, but I know that our Creator watches over you,because you belong to the Apache Spirits in. I know that you carry his blessings with you , and he shall bless you forever.
It’s crazy to think most of these people are deceased or at a really old age. It’s crazy how everyone can be young at one point then in a blink of an eye be old. Life sucks lol
One of many videos I am drawn to again and again. You can literally see the light of being's DNA, on temporary loan from God, reflected from the parents and refracted through the three ladies. It's as amazing as experiencing Ravi Shankar's little girls playing together. There are only a small number of keys on a piano or strings on a guitar or sitar, yet the combos of excellence are endless. This exquisite performance etches out one of the endless facets of the eternal diamond of existence. The cosmic eye of consciousness cannot be contained, it can "only" be manifested, savored before perpetually yielding to the next heartbeat, or, as we see now, generation or three. Or Thirty three thousand...
I wasn't born until around 1970. So I never saw ths "Swing" era, but this was really cool. These gals are amazing. Catchy, great moves, and just fun to see. This coming from a guy who went to Metallica concerts.
Back on topic. Yes, remembering Patty Andrews, may her soul be comforted in the knowledge that she is still loved and appreciated in 2019. My Dad raised on all the Big Band music and I loved this lady's personality She was the fun extroverted sister in the middle who would get right out on the dance floor and boogie with the soldiers
I've been a Rock & Roll junkie since seeing the Beatles live on the Ed Sullivan SHow on TV in 1964 but I've always thought that the Big Band era was every bit as lively and wild as Rock has been. I've heard this song since I was a kid in the early 60s and it's a damn great song and this movie clip is as good as any rock video I've ever seen.
I typed in the sisters playlist looking for gospel music to start my day and I came here! This makes me think of my Mother.. she lives on with the Lord even though she's no longer here she's been gone 3 years but I believe she would love this and that she did listen to this music because when she passed she was 87, I'm going to use this if I can get it with permission on one of my RUclips videos I love it!!!❤️❤️❤️ Boogie Woogie live on💃👯♂️💃
So beautiful! So hilarious! This was rock and roll in the 40's, during World War 2. It's the music that solidified our Country! It's the music that held us all together. This is the music my parent's held so dear, and enjoyed so much during their young adulthood! They went out to dances and danced their butts off to this music! I was lucky enough to hear music like this growing up as a very young kid in the early 60's because my Parent's loved it so much and grooved on it and always put on the records, while the rest of my siblings and I were exploring The Beatles!
God has left this country. This country is horrific. And the 'uniting' of this country you're talking about didn't include women or any person of colour. It was a white man's America then, it's a white man's America now.
@David Osterberg maybe you should put your brain to use because nothing he said is remotely untruthful or unnecessarily harsh. He's right, and you're ignorant to it.
Patty's extraordinary here. She shows the full range of her talent. I especially love her impersonations of brass instruments. She was truly one of a kind. RIP.
Can't help but 😢 when I 👂 this song for 1st time in many years. All I can picture is my father RIP smiling and humming along. He loved the song and his country. A Navel Marine Corpsman in 1954. Graduate of Charlette SC Navel base. Miss u so much it hurts DAD. Thanks for posting and giving me tears of joy
+ Kevin G...same with my dad. Career Army, went in '44 and retired in '72. For all my wayward ways, his love of country and this music sank in. I thank God for that generation. They were truly the greatest.
Gotta thank Abbott and Costello for introducing me to these ladies when I was a kid in the late '60s and early '70s. Spent my weekends watching Abbott and Costello, The Bowery Boys, Charlie Chan, Bob Hope, Tarzan, etc... Weekend TV was great back then!
" Abbott and Costello, The Bowery Boys, Charlie Chan, Bob Hope, Tarzan, etc... Weekend TV was great back then!" Mainly because those movies were great in the years (decades) before then.
I absolutely love The Andrews Sister’s. Such such talent and a joy to listen to and watch. I have a constant smile. I have to draw myself away! This was my mom and dad’s period of music but I love it too! RUclips makes so much available to us in an instant! 🙏 ❤
My first favorite song. I don't know where I heard it but now as a 57 YO I feel very fortunate to have know it so early in life. These ladies were blowing 8 to the bar!
I really love these vintage songs. You gotta admire the resilience of their generation. Despite the toughest times like the war, they still were able to have entertainment. It's a virtue I want to practice in this day and age 😄😇
80 yrs young. Remembering seeing the Andrews Sisters in this movie one Saturday night at the local theater. My dad would bring me and my two brothers to the theater most Saturday's so he and my mother could have some doo wop time alone. It cost one dime for the moive or if you had a token from a bag of Pillsbury flour, you got in with the token. Wish I could tell my parents just how much I love and appreciate all they do for me, all through life. Lesson learn: say the important things NOW to those you love and care for, before it is too late.

@AaronD Digby Yep. They even wear uniforms. They may have to cut back now my wife took a serious fall and may need knee surgery. She will still sing though.
If you close your eyes you can hear how the big-band era laid some of the ground roots to rock n roll. This was really the first music that really got people off their seat and dancing all night. It wasn't called swing for nothing, it really got people swingin and music had never done that before.
The roots of rock and roll came more from the blues. The Big Band jazz just kind of died once rock became a big deal in the mid 1950's. The record companies stopped signing jazz- type artists, which was a true tragedy.
Actually, the Twenties (known as the Jazz Age) were probably even wilder. People danced their asses off back then. But it's true the jitterbug is still more fun to watch than the Charleston.
My gran loved these ladies and shared the Andrews Sisters with me. Don't sit under the apple try was one of the last songs we listened to together before she past at 102.
Ive watched this so many times, and Patty is just mesmerizing. She flashes micro expressions so quickly its as if each word has a face. Its Amazing. She can flash an ear to ear grin in between two words, and she makes every move count! Im betting everyone agrees...you can keep all the bare skin and overdone make up of today, nothing compares to these three. They are beauty, class, and talent personified! Ive been enamored with Patty my whole life...If she were to walk up to me in that bar and say "Hey stranger, buy a girl a drink?" nothing would happen because I would melt into a puddle and flow into the floor drain.
When you watch them in videos, they are not especially attractive and don't put on as elaborate a show as most of the top performers of today. But if you listen to them without any video accompaniment, their musicality is at the very top, especially Patty. Patty could have had a great career as a solo crooner; proof is in such recordings as "I wanna be loved" and "I can dream, can't I." I could listen to those songs for hours and love it.
@@ronaldhiggins3661 Good observation. No they are not like international beauty queens they are just natural. Perhaps the lack of perfect choreography is something that has its own intrinsic value too, like the difference between an item cut with a C n C machine as opposed to made by hand, one might be perfect but lacks the human touch. All said, I just love the energy of these ladies!
I love this song. My generation doesn't know what it is missing when it comes to good music like this. I wish more people my age on down would listen to music like this. They would appreciate it.
My brother-in-law expressed how he loves living in the New Orleans area because people down there appreciate music old and new. My corny saying to him is always “Good music knows no age.”
I grew up on these amazing women! They were and still remain my heartthrobs! I’m a piano teacher and trust me my students all know this amazing era and these women!!!!!!! We sure need this back!

She seemed to be a natural entertainer. Some of that you can't teach.
Wrong. That's why they say either you got it, or you don't. According to your theory everyone can be a concert pianist, or a nuclear engineer. Sorry to burst your PC "we all dun beez da same" bubble mentality. Not everyone gets a trophy. No soup for you!
I wouldn't expect less from a Minnesota girl.
The amount of pure talent these women had is astounding. They were some of the best performers probably ever. They had such good chemistry together, they clearly were good actresses, they enjoyed performing, they good harmonize like no one else could…They were truly priceless!

I play trumpet, format in this era big time, giantly appreciate their style and performance, nothing, nothing and nothing compares to what those beautiful singers did back in the day!
And they had physical comedy on the level of Jackie Chan. It's amazing.

My Great Aunt Bessie was one of the first women to enlist in the Women's Army Corp (WACs) in 1943. I wrote a thesis about her when I was in college in 1982. She died in 2010 at age 103. She was my hero!!!!!!
as well she ought to be. Mine, too, and I never met her...sadly.
Take a closer look...the uniforms Patty/Maxine/Lavern wore were 'military-style' but NOT actually military.None of them were ever actually 'enlisted-in-service' ...despite that, they were just as 'serving' as any other women during WW2 and personally recognized by FDR as 'vital to the morale of the armed-forces and civilians as well" and received commendations from the President himself! (the hours they put in performing on every 'Front' during the war was incredible...Maxine said in the '60's that "We didn't have a day-off for over two years...but we didn't mind so much when we saw what those boys went through and how happy they were to see a live-show from us and everyone else...I never heard of any performer ever complaining of 'working' then...we saw it as a privilege to help them forget the War for awhile". (not well-known was the fact that "Andrews Sisters" were enormously popular in Germany itself...even during the War! Their records were 'officially banned' of course...but they were highly prized, even being traded for 'black-market' items like real cigarettes and liquor)
Wow. God bless her
Awesome!

this is Beautiful why cant we have music like this now
easy, because todays so called musicians/singers have no talent just computer gimmicks, we will never see the likes of the Andrews sister, Glenn Miller and Dame Vera Lynn again so sad
What are you looking for? There are tons of non-famous musicians out here giving it their all.
You can have music like this any time you want it. That’s the beauty of “now”. Any genre you care to listen to is available in a few key strokes. Listen to whatever you like. No music remains the same over time. It would be pretty boring if it never changed. “Old folks” always lament whatever music is contemporary. Rock and roll was going to corrupt the youth of the day and be the end of civilized society. I’ll bet there were plenty of detractors of music like the Andrews Sisters. Before that “ Mairzy Doats” was derided as garbage. Fifty years from now, the 20 year olds of today will be listening to whoever was popular in 2024 and saying “Why can’t we have music like this now?”.
you have taylor now 😂😂😋😂😂
I am a musician of over 50 years. I started when I was 10 years old. My parents use to put their voices together and sing all the time. But when they broke out with Chattanooga Choo Choo one day I liked it. Then I use to watch the old war times movies where the Andrew sisters were singing and really fell in love with them. Today a lot of musicians have no clue of Three Part Harmony and the Andrew sister kicked it in the HEAD!
Patty Andrews was a dynamic performer who had so much energy, vitality & confidence. She was a born entertainer!
Yes, love her

Nancy Jones unfortunately this style of vocalized music is not part of the pop music culture. This is a cross between big band and jazz.
Damn the Andrews Sister's are gifted and talented: they're scathing, beboppong, sashaying, cakewalking and backing it back with impeccable rhythm, harmony and timing.
They are very talented but I would be very surprised if they are actually singing and dancing, or at least they probably are but what you are hearing is a studio recording. It's very common for these type of scenes because there's too much background noise going on.

Such a jazzy song! From my Mom's time, love it!
Me. This was before my time I'm 16 but I think this song is the Bomb.
I love this song! I’m only 18 and it’s one of my favourite songs
I'm 16, but I feel music brings everyone together, regardless of age! And their voices are so, so good!
I have a huge soft spot in my heart for, not just this song, but the swing era music in general. My mom and dad lived through the WWII era and I picked up my enjoyment listening when my dad played piano versions. The band leaders seemed to have a talent for using all their resources to create bright, powerful music with a big sound.
Yes! Same here! Agreed!!
My father came home from Europe. Listened to this music everyday. Even when I was in the womb, I got drafted into this music history. Time has passed and most of our heroes are gone. I'm sixty-five, and I have played the piano all of my life. These is my favorite pieces I play for the young . And they love it. God bless America and to those who made us great. Thank you for your gift of music.
Keep playing, mate.
Love ya brother or sister! My dad took a bullet through his chest and out his arm in the Bulge to hand us a free republic and I'll be darned before I yield my God granted, Constitutionally protected rights to any one or group. I'm 62 and keep the living flame alive, with no partisan party or religious prejudices. This and many other forms of music help us rise above the partisan fray, yet right and wrong, good and evil DO exist and it Is vital to discern the difference. Music helps carve out the common ground, but a Stalin or Hilterite could savor the same tunes and be working to thwart the survival of the ideals our parents fought for...
God does not Bless a nation that does not want him or believe in him or his Son Jesus Christ and worships men and women heros and sex with anyone or anything is great and we created many sexs and LGBTQ is good and abortion is good. We are reaping what we have sown.
I've watched this clip (literally) a couple dozen times and each time the performance blows me away. Note the harmonies were before auto-tune and multi-track recording/mixing. This is pure talent of the highest caliber!
One take. It was kind of the basic standard then; acoustic/analogue, can either pull it off, or not. And a lot of really good musicians did it for fun, had their day jobs.
Nobody can duplicate this masterpiece. One of a kind. Incomparable. Amazing. Great. Salute and Respect to Andrew Sisters.

The Andrews Sisters boarded a train one evening in 1944 after having performed in Ottawa, Canada. My future mother, who had lived & worked in the city, was boarding the same train, headed for Saskatoon in order to marry my future father. She was accompanied by three of her friends who wished to wave her good-bye. When the party of four got to the train station, where many Andrews Sisters' fans had congregated, my mom quipped "Oh, my goodness! I didn't think this many people would be here to see me leave". All involved in this story are now gone, but the husband of one of the gals who'd accompanied Mom to the station is still alive. He clarified some of the points of this story. He was a Canadian heavy bomber pilot stationed out of England, eventually earning the monicker "Crash", due to several (four) hair-raising combat mission escapades with the various craft he was piloting. I've carried this insignificant little story with me for decades, & feel I've finally found a forum in which to share it.

YOU ARESO RIGHT!
The harmony of these women is astounding. It's as close to perfect as 3 separate voices could be.
Many have tried to cover this song and do it as good as these ladies did it, but they all fail in comparison to the Andrew Sisters. These ladies had class, beauty and voices that no one could touch. They still give me shivers in 2016, we need more music like this.
I've listened to a lot of the newer groups doing this style and they can't seem to match this level of harmony and that personal touch. If they can get that down, we'll see this make a comeback.
t would be amazing to see this style of music become popular again.
BigSexy YumYumz You should check out The Mourning Glories. A trio of very talented ladies from Rotterdam.
I def will, thank you!

Its almost like one voice. They are so together in their singing, perfection in their performances and recordings. Wonderful presentation, tone quality, diction, expression, etc. flawless
@ Eddie Huss Yes. It's three voices from one family that makes their sound SO harmonious. It's the same DNA singing three parts, so it's always going to make a unified sound that CANNOT BE mimicked! 😉
I'm a trumpet player and can relate to their situation. They grew up as little girls when their dad ran a brass band or a band that had a horn section in it I mean and they learned to sing together like a horn section and so they always throw in brass type mannerisms to their singing and noises. It's a beautiful thing to see and hear.
@@stevedahlberg8680 Yes. I didn't know that their father had a band, but it's not surprising. As a vocalist myself, I can tell you that voices that share the same DNA can blend like no other. These ladies were truly something!
@@stevedahlberg8680 I sometimes like to lookup the lives of interesting, famous people. The parents of the Andrews Sisters were restaurant owners, and LaVerne, the oldest by several years was an accomplished pianist. She played piano for silent movies at the local movie house to pay for singing and dancing lessons for herself and her sisters. So it's true they were around music and performance from an early age. I don't think any other group, male or female, was exactly like them or was their equal!

The Andrews Sisters were magnificent because they had style, rhythm, and pure talent. But what makes them stand out even 70 years later is what may not be apparent with the first few viewings. Literally everyone in this clip was in uniform, which was not surprising since the movie Buck Privates, from which this clip came, was filmed during the Second World War. The United States was a very different country from the way it is now. America was truly a united collection of states, and the Andrews Sisters were in the right time in the right place with the right style and talent to give America the opportunity to band together in a life and death struggle.
And it surely WAS a life and death struggle!
The war was very different, too. It was a winnable war and we had strong allies.
Wow... That sounds so profound... 🥺

@@ryotasuzui2642 - Is that supposed to be a word. More proof of how lame the generations that came afterwards are.
This may very well be the definitive musical number of the Forties. The Andrews Sisters' unique style will live forever.
It’s the combination of dead on tight harmony, syncopation and thorough choreography that makes this classic timeless
The story I read was that the Andrew Sisters were told that they had to provide their own choreography for the scene. They got some help but it was mostly a spur of the moment type thing.
My Aunt Victoria was in the U.S. Navy for most of her entire life, I helped her pick out her casket .My Aunt Victoria was my hero , she wanted me to follow in her footsteps, but I came down with epilepsy at a young age. My Military career never happened, because I had a grand- mal seizure , and I lost my memory . My Aunt came to see me, she said Luna they say you have lost your memory, but I know that our Creator watches over you,because you belong to the Apache Spirits in. I know that you carry his blessings with you , and he shall bless you forever.
Luna Wolf Apaches are so badass we named our combat helicopters after them
Patty's smile at 1:24 is my favorite thing ever
Everybody loves Patty.
Patti kills it, sweet performance and damn that smile!
And that roar...
somethings just worth fighting for
The one in the middle.
It’s crazy to think most of these people are deceased or at a really old age. It’s crazy how everyone can be young at one point then in a blink of an eye be old. Life sucks lol
Carpe diem your ass off, cause it comes quick...:)
One of many videos I am drawn to again and again. You can literally see the light of being's DNA, on temporary loan from God, reflected from the parents and refracted through the three ladies. It's as amazing as experiencing Ravi Shankar's little girls playing together. There are only a small number of keys on a piano or strings on a guitar or sitar, yet the combos of excellence are endless. This exquisite performance etches out one of the endless facets of the eternal diamond of existence. The cosmic eye of consciousness cannot be contained, it can "only" be manifested, savored before perpetually yielding to the next heartbeat, or, as we see now, generation or three. Or Thirty three thousand...
Why do you guys always make that vapid observation?
@@tonygilder7912 And you are... how old, Tony?
@@indy_go_blue6048 well i ain't dead so your question is stupid.
I watched these ladies perform in Morgantown,WV in the 1950's or 60's not sure when. on High street. Will never forget.
What a memory! :)

I wasn't born until around 1970. So I never saw ths "Swing" era, but this was really cool. These gals are amazing. Catchy, great moves, and just fun to see. This coming from a guy who went to Metallica concerts.
Wow! That lead singer could do just about ANYTHING with her voice! I love the Andrews Sisters even though they were about 40 years before my time.
Happy 100th Birthday to the one and only Patty Andrews
Pol Fartin she still has a birthday. No need to be negative.
Pol Fartin oh, Alright
Pol Fartin What type of person actively hates a positive thing?
Pol Fartin but the Jews considered it negative
Back on topic. Yes, remembering Patty Andrews, may her soul be comforted in the knowledge that she is still loved and appreciated in 2019. My Dad raised on all the Big Band music and I loved this lady's personality She was the fun extroverted sister in the middle who would get right out on the dance floor and boogie with the soldiers
Love the "Tsss- hot!" gesture when she touches the trumpet and the growl vocal - great stuff!
I've been a Rock & Roll junkie since seeing the Beatles live on the Ed Sullivan SHow on TV in 1964 but I've always thought that the Big Band era was every bit as lively and wild as Rock has been.
I've heard this song since I was a kid in the early 60s and it's a damn great song and this movie clip is as good as any rock video I've ever seen.
Jazz is a big inspiration to Rocka Billy and Rock music together with Blues and Gospel, so yeah I agree with you there👍
Im proud of my dad. Patricio Garcia, served in WW2. Although he passed away several years ago ,he still lives in my heart
Thank you, sir.
I typed in the sisters playlist looking for gospel music to start my day and I came here! This makes me think of my Mother.. she lives on with the Lord even though she's no longer here she's been gone 3 years but I believe she would love this and that she did listen to this music because when she passed she was 87, I'm going to use this if I can get it with permission on one of my RUclips videos I love it!!!❤️❤️❤️ Boogie Woogie live on💃👯♂️💃
So beautiful! So hilarious! This was rock and roll in the 40's, during World War 2. It's the music that solidified our Country! It's the music that held us all together. This is the music my parent's held so dear, and enjoyed so much during their young adulthood! They went out to dances and danced their butts off to this music! I was lucky enough to hear music like this growing up as a very young kid in the early 60's because my Parent's loved it so much and grooved on it and always put on the records, while the rest of my siblings and I were exploring The Beatles!
This music united a country in the darkest time of the world, we can do it again. God Bless America.
Amen!

God has left this country. This country is horrific. And the 'uniting' of this country you're talking about didn't include women or any person of colour. It was a white man's America then, it's a white man's America now.
@David Osterberg maybe you should put your brain to use because nothing he said is remotely untruthful or unnecessarily harsh. He's right, and you're ignorant to it.
God bless America and its ally

These ladies have a lot more intensity in their performance than most of the pop music stars today.
Patty's extraordinary here. She shows the full range of her talent. I especially love her impersonations of brass instruments. She was truly one of a kind. RIP.
I read that they had to do their own choreography. Someone at the last minute helped them with it.
2024 anyone??🌴
Of course, my refuge against the autotune garbage. Listening to these 3 ladies sing is something unparalleled.

Can't help but 😢 when I 👂 this song for 1st time in many years. All I can picture is my father RIP smiling and humming along. He loved the song and his country. A Navel Marine Corpsman in 1954. Graduate of Charlette SC Navel base. Miss u so much it hurts DAD. Thanks for posting and giving me tears of joy
+ Kevin G...same with my dad. Career Army, went in '44 and retired in '72. For all my wayward ways, his love of country and this music sank in. I thank God for that generation. They were truly the greatest.
I’m sorry but it’s hard to take this comment seriously when instead of using normal words you used emojis when talking about someone’s death...Wow
So amazing. The voices, the dance, the harmony. Everything is perfect. I have goosebumps listening to this beautiful, evergreen song.
Gotta thank Abbott and Costello for introducing me to these ladies when I was a kid in the late '60s and early '70s. Spent my weekends watching Abbott and Costello, The Bowery Boys, Charlie Chan, Bob Hope, Tarzan, etc... Weekend TV was great back then!
" Abbott and Costello, The Bowery Boys, Charlie Chan, Bob Hope, Tarzan, etc... Weekend TV was great back then!"
Mainly because those movies were great in the years (decades) before then.
Dedicated to all who served during WWll and sacrificed so much in order for us to have the freedoms that we enjoy today.
Look how people get treated
Actually, we fought against freedom. Just ask General Patton on that one.
The Greatest Generation!!!
@@eugenemalush9284 They were... ok I guess. I mean they also brought McCarthyism and fought HARD against repealing Jim Crow.
In tier 4 so ....................................!
I absolutely love The Andrews Sister’s. Such such talent and a joy to listen to and watch. I have a constant smile. I have to draw myself away! This was my mom and dad’s period of music but I love it too! RUclips makes so much available to us in an instant! 🙏 ❤
My first favorite song. I don't know where I heard it but now as a 57 YO I feel very fortunate to have know it so early in life. These ladies were blowing 8 to the bar!
They died in 1967, 1995, and 2013.

Singers back then were the full package, rhythmic, co-ordinated, smooth dancers as well as great singers. Sure miss that stylishness.
Hello Helen, how are you doing?
I really love these vintage songs. You gotta admire the resilience of their generation. Despite the toughest times like the war, they still were able to have entertainment. It's a virtue I want to practice in this day and age 😄😇
80 yrs young. Remembering seeing the Andrews Sisters in this movie one Saturday night at the local theater. My dad would bring me and my two brothers to the theater most Saturday's so he and my mother could have some doo wop time alone. It cost one dime for the moive or if you had a token from a bag of Pillsbury flour, you got in with the token. Wish I could tell my parents just how much I love and appreciate all they do for me, all through life. Lesson learn: say the important things NOW to those you love and care for, before it is too late.
They were fabulous. I wish we had singers like this now.
We do, it's just the genre is no longer in fashion.
We do but not mainstream radio. You need to put in an effort to find it.
and pretty, especially maxene and patty
This song really showcases the trio's talent. Fun, catchy and patriotic - love it!
My wife and her sisters perform this every Veteran's day "for the boys". They sound almost like the original.
where do they do that? I'd love to see them.
Is there a video? I'd love to watch

@AaronD Digby Yep. They even wear uniforms. They may have to cut back now my wife took a serious fall and may need knee surgery. She will still sing though.
Truly, the greatest generation... God bless them all.
If you close your eyes you can hear how the big-band era laid some of the ground roots to rock n roll. This was really the first music that really got people off their seat and dancing all night. It wasn't called swing for nothing, it really got people swingin and music had never done that before.
The roots of rock and roll came more from the blues. The Big Band jazz just kind of died once rock became a big deal in the mid 1950's. The record companies stopped signing jazz- type artists, which was a true tragedy.
Actually, the Twenties (known as the Jazz Age) were probably even wilder. People danced their asses off back then. But it's true the jitterbug is still more fun to watch than the Charleston.
The growl gets me every time ! Goose bumps or what ?
Wow. The Andrews Sisters never get old. This song and performance is THE BEST! 🎶🎺🇺🇸🦅💗
My gran loved these ladies and shared the Andrews Sisters with me. Don't sit under the apple try was one of the last songs we listened to together before she past at 102.
Now this is what I call good music! Beautil harmonies, they dont make music like this today!
Ive watched this so many times, and Patty is just mesmerizing. She flashes micro expressions so quickly its as if each word has a face. Its Amazing. She can flash an ear to ear grin in between two words, and she makes every move count!
Im betting everyone agrees...you can keep all the bare skin and overdone make up of today, nothing compares to these three. They are beauty, class, and talent personified!
Ive been enamored with Patty my whole life...If she were to walk up to me in that bar and say "Hey stranger, buy a girl a drink?" nothing would happen because I would melt into a puddle and flow into the floor drain.
I sure as hell agree with you! All the best!
@@lawrencelewis8105 Cheers!
When you watch them in videos, they are not especially attractive and don't put on as elaborate a show as most of the top performers of today. But if you listen to them without any video accompaniment, their musicality is at the very top, especially Patty. Patty could have had a great career as a solo crooner; proof is in such recordings as "I wanna be loved" and "I can dream, can't I." I could listen to those songs for hours and love it.
@@ronaldhiggins3661 Good observation. No they are not like international beauty queens they are just natural. Perhaps the lack of perfect choreography is something that has its own intrinsic value too, like the difference between an item cut with a C n C machine as opposed to made by hand, one might be perfect but lacks the human touch. All said, I just love the energy of these ladies!
I have never agreed more thses three are remarkable
I love this song. My generation doesn't know what it is missing when it comes to good music like this. I wish more people my age on down would listen to music like this. They would appreciate it.
My brother-in-law expressed how he loves living in the New Orleans area because people down there appreciate music old and new. My corny saying to him is always “Good music knows no age.”
I love vintage music 🤩❤️❤️
Sable Wright....great music as you say....but no, I don't think they would appreciate it. And that's sad.
I'm a Zoomer,I prefer the older music more than the music I grew up with in the early 2000s. 50s,60s,70s,80s,and 90s music is where it's at!
If this is anything to go by, I wasn't missing much.
I grew up on these amazing women! They were and still remain my heartthrobs! I’m a piano teacher and trust me my students all know this amazing era and these women!!!!!!! We sure need this back!
The one in the middle is a lot of fun to watch. She really gets into it!
I thought the same, and I didn't know her name, nothing wrong with that, you can't know everything!
She looks like a cross between Christoph Waltz and Amanda Bynes
@@vincekane7298 it's good to know her name now. Me and my twit-self thank you.
