I was at a neighbor hood get together last night & sat next to a woman in her 90’s & she mentioned this song out of the blue. I felt smug when I realized I knew the song as well . She told me she could remember WW2.
This is soooo incredibly fantastic. Hard to believe that we "nowadays" have anything this well arranged, played, sung and performed. Thank you EVER so much, Pete Jacobs, and all the brilliant musicians of the great band and the wonderful, beautiful singers of the trio. 😃 😃 😃
What is with the comments section. Its a really nice performance but I would be shocked if any professional didn't get this incredibly basic song 100% perfect. The average performance today is a million times more impressive. Literally any major band and most small bands will be perfectly arranged and harmonised. I don't see the need to exaggerate so much. Just say its a nice song and leave it at that, you don't need to invent things for effect.
Big Bands,and what a sensational combination of voices simply divine. Congratulations and thank you I like. From Brazil 17/06/2021.........[......] fui......
this is not only an amazing performance but when i was just starting out in life i was fortunate enough to win a holiday to Trinidad so this song brings the memories flooding back of amazing places such as Manzanilla beach and of course drinking rum and coke which i do to this day...
This one is my favorite! These girls sing beautifully & the band is fantastic. They all seem to enjoy what they're doing which makes it more enjoyable. Grateful for this channel.
This is our Dad's fave song since he lived in trinadad before. He passed away the other day and got cremated yesterday. I miss you Dad. We Love you so much. Rest in Peace.
Discovered these young ladies while looking for “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”. What a find. Created a 40’s songlist and included them, and the Wartime Revue.
J’adore cette chanson qui n’est plus très jeune. J’ai la chance de l’avoir en CD, et je l’écoute toujours avec plaisir. Metz France le 8/6/2020. Merci du partage. Amitiés et bisous
Cette chanson date de 1945, juste a la fin de la Deuxieme Guerre Mondiale, chantee par les Andrew Sisters. Vous avez remarque sans doute les uniformes militaires. Les Andrew Sisters chantaient pour nos troupes Americaines pendant la guerre.
That is some magnificent singing and harmonies by those three lovely lasses. Well done! Patti Andrews once said that she and her sisters were so young and naive when they recorded this now-standard that they had no idea what the lyrics were all about.
Live Free Or Die opinion and taste are the same, your taste and opinion is different then mine it’s a good song in my eyes, now let’s stop going back and forth like children I gotta get back to work
I wonder if the people who saw this live, realised the quality of the singers performances and harmonies together with the musical arrangements. Absolutely superb performance all round.
Its good I agree but lets not exaggerate. It is about a simple a song to perform as is possible. If anyone didn't get this song 100% perfect then they would need to be totally incompetent. Even a total amateur should be getting the harmonies perfect with this song. It is basically a nursery rhyme.
Probably they didnt! The first time I saw this video I wasn't expecting much based in the video quality. When I heard the first Rum & "CocaCola" I was impressed, Wow! that Sounded Nice to the ear! By the time I heard "Working for the Yanky Dooollar" I was melt!! Each time i listen to this, I just have to stop what Im doing just to fully enjoy the Moment!!
I grew up with a theatrical family, on tour. Thanks for this I've always loved this song. Better than the original. I played in Japan for a year, been on tour since 85 man.
I watched many versions of this song on RUclips,,,,,this is best version...great band !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,,ahmmmmm...nice great singers...............love the mni skirts...very mch 1940's
I rand a company the other day and had a proposed wait of 20 minutes. The music was modern and not to my liking and my wait was less than 2 minutes. Guess I will use snail mail.
You are so right, but just be thankful that we have the internet, I was born in '42, imagine how I feel, but now I can re-enjoy such luminaries as Kathleen Ferrier, Maria Callas, Benny Goodman, Chick Webb, Frank Sinatra, Johnnie Ray and of course ELVIS PRESLEY, who, for me and millions like me turned the world from monochrome into glorious technicolour,
Love it My Mom and we're depression era parents My Mom was a VFW VOLUNTEER AUXILIARY AND MY DAD FOUGHT IN WW2 IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC FOUGHT THE JAPANESE LOVED THEM DEARLY 👮🙋🇱🇷🇱🇷
Obrigado, Juliano. 3o lugar naquele festival. Também gravada pelo grupo Os Posteiros, no cd Rio-grandenses, de 2002, vencedor do Troféu Açorianos de 2003. Abraços.
Listen and view every day! Makes me happy!
I am 87 years old but still enjoy great music and great legs!!
And a great rum n coke!😅
Amen to that!!
Absolutely! I was born in 1968 but I live for this music. 👍🏽
These girls sound superb with their verbage clarity, they're beautiful and looks like they were p 3:42 pulled from a Miss America contest.
The Andrew Sisters are one of the most re-recorded Female artists of the 21 century………
A great trio. A magnificent orchestra. Thank you for the pleasure.

Beautiful performance, bring back old days, we’re the best
How could you not win wars that way ?!😊
Very entertaining sitting on my deck on a nice warm day listening to the music
Just wonderful wideos, beautiful songs from some times ago! Thank's for sharing music like this, super super!🤗😄

Good old days when Calypso songs & music was clean....memories of the Chaguaramas base in Trinidad....now Trinidad and Tobago.....❤❤❤❤
Lyrics are not clean at all. Very rude to Caribbean people
This song is literally about child prostitution. Lol
I love this singers..its Fantastic!!

Do you know the name of this group? I like them
@@roberta.kanter7041 If you still haven't found it, the name of the band is in the title
Beautiful performance. Enjoy watching you all. USA fan and follower
Listening from Trinidad
Beautifully blended voices! Beguiling harmony. Nothing to beat this version!!
The Andrews Sisters had a better blended harmony. These ladies are good, but not as good as the digitally remastered Andrews Sisters.
❤😊
Beautiful version. Lovely looking ladies, very professional!!
What a beautiful song ! Thanks...I just love them singing so in harmony and rhythm.
I’m 90 and remember when that was a hit. Still love it.
Nice to see the old Trinidad Calypso music & songs still appreciated.....♥️
From Venezulea,
I listen to this music, I'm 52 and I think it would be on any street in the United States in the 40s
this is not only an amazing performance but when i was just starting out in life i was fortunate enough to win a holiday to Trinidad so this song brings the memories flooding back of amazing places such as Manzanilla beach and of course drinking rum and coke which i do to this day...
Essas garotas são fantásticas e com minha querida COCA COLA é uma Maravilha. Parabéns quem postou estou maravilhado.
One of the greatest song of the last century!!!
Thank you ladies for "God Bless America". Just what we need right now.
Yeah God bless america,.where would we be without you !!!

what an absolutely fantastic performance. Everyone brought their A-Game.
A great version of song, and the girls are great too🌟❤️
I could listen to them sing this song over and over. Many groups sing this song, but they sing it best.
Insrumentals and vocals were spot on. Thanks for this remake.
What a blessing that there is a RUclips channel and we can all enjoy beautiful people and beautiful dancers. This is a class.
First time I’ve seen this act. Love it.
Clicked on this expecting to very disappointed as I adore the The Andrews Sisters.... But wow. You ladies nailed it! Absolutely nailed it!!
Ike it
Just doesn't work with Women vocalists. Makes it sound like an American Top 40 anesthe-tune. Lord Invader forever!
Well said! I agree completely.
Qq
I LOVE how these musicians perform the same arrangements as the original!
The rhythm section sounds very different to the original... who's playing clave? Is it a click track?
The original was by Lord Invader born in Trinidad.
Andrew Sisters - the original rendition!
Well done to the girls and the band. Really enjoyed the act. Thank you so much.
Your Music is pure joy to my heart. I was missing Dan Hicks, his memory is a blessing. Then I found you....Thanks!
These girls made the Andrews Sisters proud.
No argument - this is the very very best version of this number - super singers with a fantastic band - loved the brass - thank you so much
Deliciously fantastic! LOVED IT
Luv ❤️ from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
As a Trinidadian I'm very happy to hear this and all the familiar places etc. It's a great old song.
Cette vidéo est absolument superbe, merci bien, j'ai adoré, @+.
How could anyone not love this music?
By listening to it
Cool off man, it ain't the target, just the moment before combat!
J’adore cette chanson qui n’est plus très jeune. J’ai la chance de l’avoir en CD, et je l’écoute toujours avec plaisir. Metz France le 8/6/2020. Merci du partage. Amitiés et bisous

I LIKE THIS NEW VERSION AND THE SHOW.
It's wonderful to see that again😀

Adorable. Can’t get enough.
That was great fun!
Great performance ! Memories of good times !
Wow, the band is spectacular. Bravo ❤️
Brings back many fine melody memories of years ago, now brought way up to date!
Actually this was a very crappy song with a very poor taste of lyric ..
There were lots of better songs in that time.
anyway enjoy.

Thank you for posting this. It’s fun.
Reminds me of a singer/muso I knew who included this song in her repertoire
and sang it beautifully.. this version is very authentic - Great!
Não paro de ver esse fantástico vídeo parabéns para quem postou.

Lovely song and magnificent musical performance !
Performance, yes. Song? Not so much. Look up the lyrics.
It's Calypso lyrics and music....meant to be sarcastic....listen to the Original ....right here on YT.
I'm from Trinidad and I approve👌
Love it, so innocent, light hearted fun, happiness is :0)))
What a beautiful voice,also great band.
NICE video, thank you and good times!
YESSSS!!! Out-standing. Awesome
Saw this War Time Radio Revue in Redlands, loved it.
Beautiful song!
I loved this Andrews Sisters tribute AND I also loved The Barberettes version. Was born in 1936.
Yeah Jerry I was born in 1935 and still love the Barberetts girls!
wow, these ladies hit it. VERY well done.
Congratulations from Brasil!
Gracias por darme el recuerdo y la nostalgia de mi vida.
Never seen this modern group perform before but they certainly have captured the sound. Very nice.
Hats of to the WW II generation and my Dad was an Engineer, building roads for the Military in Eastern India facing Burma. 🇺🇸🇧🇩
Just WOW!
There should be more music like this, not the crap we hear nowadays.
Simon Skinner For sure....wonder if the pandemic will change the music.
19th century telegraphed and wanted you back
@@JohnDoe-sb7ch and damn glad to go back.
I rand a company the other day and had a proposed wait of 20 minutes. The music was modern and not to my liking and my wait was less than 2 minutes. Guess I will use snail mail.
