    The Andrews Sisters are the most famous Sister Group in the history of recorded music. Patty was the lead, Maxene was the high harmony and LaVern was the low harmony. Because they didn’t read music they didn’t do standard harmony. Their harmony is so tight that it baffles trained musicians who try to figure it out!😂 Their music still sells today and is constantly being REdiscovered, just like you found out! Thank you so much!

      Andrew Sisters performed in Las Vegas quite often in the 50’s and were an A list group. Rumor is that Sam Giancana a reputed mafioso was in love with Phyllis Andrew and would go see her sing wherever she was. They had a very long relationship which she claimed was platonic. Their harmony was the best.

      I listened to an interview with LaVern and she was asked about where they got those harmonies and why she never sang a lead. She said it just came so natural to her when ever she heard a melody it was a harmony that played in her head. She didn't know any music theory as did neither of the other sisters nor could she explain it to someone else. And no one did like they could do it.

      Adding: In a time long ago when the military needed to pass common commands over distance (long before radio) the bugle was used as an auditory signal. The bugle call Reveille woke the troops. There were bugle calls for meals, and even one for telling soldiers when to go to sleep. There were also bugle calls for moving formations of troops on the battlefield. The three most famous calls today are Reveille, Taps, and Charge.

      In Navy Boot Camp in the 1980's, I was in San Diego and was part of the Drum and Bugle Corps. Correct that a traditional bugle has no valves and can play only so many notes. Besides the ones mentioned, there were bugle calls for Attention, Parade Rest, Morning Colors, Retreat (evening colors), those I remember specifically, there are many more the Army uses.
      The bugles used in a Drum and Bugle Corps, all have 2 valves (can't play a few notes), are designed similarly, and are Soprano (Trumpet) Baritone (Trombone range but looks like an oversize trumpet) and Bass (Tuba range and looks like an even larger trumpet and rests on the player's shoulder). Boot camp for us was like being in a highly disciplined marching band.
      Sadly now Navy Boot Camp in Great Lakes doesn't have it anymore.
      The trumpet sounding before a horse race such as the Kentucky Derby is played on a modified bugle, more straightened out. That bugle call is named, "First Call" which in the Navy is played 5 minutes before morning or evening colors.
      On a personal note, I played TAPS for 25 military burials and ceremonies, all branches, while I was on a shore station.

      Bugles used in the drum and bugle corps do have a valve on it. The comment on the chip I think I get and agree. You take a fake bugle with a microchip it programmed to play “Taps” give it to some thing that can hold it and knows where their mouth is and can hit the play button and they can make $10 or $20 at a military funeral. What a disgrace, I know I can find some high school or college kid willing to play at a funeral. Scouts with our working on the bugling merit badge would play. I used to teach music and of my extra volunteer jobs was to teach scouts how to play the bugle and judge them for their merit badge.
      Jay and Amber the song you was asking about is “Reveille”(pronounced rev-el-lee). There are several bugle calls for many different things…”Reveille” to wake up troops and “Taps” for time for sleep. There is a call for attention, assembly, to the dining hall, to the quarters, charge (attack) and retreat just to name a few.

    When I was a trumpet player in the Army, we sometimes played “reveille” in the mornings and “taps” in the evening when lowering the flag. In earlier times the bugle was also used to play “charge” when charging the enemy. Taps is also played at funerals for service members.

      They also use it around 5pm to play retreat. Basically the end of the work day. Everyone on the base will stop what they are doing, and stand at attention and salute, even the military brats, as they are called, know to respect it. They lower the flag with retreat. Taps is played at bedtime. When I was stationed at Ft Ben Harrison, at the Defense Information School, in 1968, I would lean out the window and play Taps on my kazoo, along with the bugle, which was usually just a recording. While I was a student there, we had a 10pm curfew, and that would be when they would broadcast Taps. Nothing like being 20 years old and having to go to bed at 10pm.

    The Andrews Sisters were an American close harmony singing group of the swing and boogie-woogie eras. The group consisted of three sisters: contralto LaVerne Sophia (July 6, 1911 - May 8, 1967), soprano Maxene Anglyn (January 3, 1916 - October 21, 1995), and mezzo-soprano Patricia "Patty" Marie (February 16, 1918 - January 30, 2013).[1] The sisters have sold an estimated 80 million records.[2] Their 1941 hit "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" can be considered an early example of jump blues. Other songs closely associated with the Andrews Sisters include their first major hit, "Bei Mir Bist Du Schön (Means That You're Grand)" (1937), "Beer Barrel Polka (Roll Out the Barrel)" (1939), "Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar" (1940), "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Anyone Else but Me)" (1942), and "Rum and Coca Cola" (1945), which helped introduce American audiences to calypso.

    In the military a bugle is the traditional instrument to signal commands. Ex. In war it was used to signal actions like charge and retreat because it could be heard across battlefield. The traditional song for start of day( raising of flag) is " Revelie" and in evening( lowering of flag) is "Taps" which is also sounded at military funerals when flag is folded and given to family.

    • @sedatedape315

And having to stop in traffic at 5pm, when they played retreat, and all the military personnel getting out of their cars and saluting the nearest flag. When they played taps at my father's funeral, it was the saddest sound I ever heard.

One thing that brought her joy was listening to the big band music of the WWII era, which coincided with her high school and college years. She was especially fond of Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey, so my husband and I became familiar with it as well. This is the first time I have listened to music of that era since she died.

    The Andrews Sisters were really big during the 1940's during and after World War II. They did a lot of songs in a great 3-part harmony. Yes, these ladies did a lot of USO shows for the troops, so songs and performances were eaten up by the guys. A bugle, by the way, is a horn, a little bit higher pitched and smaller than a trumpet. It does not have any valves, like a trumpet, so all notes are strictly determined by the air blown into it. Armies have used trumpets for hundreds of years for their troops. They mentioned Reville in the song, that is the tune to wake the troops up in the morning. Taps is usually played in the evening to put the troops to bed and also is traditionally played at military funerals. It also was used for commands in the field, such as a command to attack or retreat. They use the bugle because it is smaller than most horns and can be heard over the noise of the battlefield.

    A bugle is basically a trumpet without the valves. The pitch and tone are totally controlled by the players lips. In the military, reveille (pronounced rev-ah-lee), is the tune played to start the day and wake folks up. At night another tune called taps is played. This song is about a bugle player who was in a popular swing/jazz/boogie-woogie band and got drafted into the Army, like millions of others, to fight in WW2 and his world was basically turned upside down for a bit

    OMG! I totally grew up on the Andrew's Sisters! They are always excellent like this. You really could populate a whole youtube channel just reacting to their songs alone, and you'd have a great time doing it too. So glad to see this reaction to these great ladies. Their Christmas tracks done with Bing will always be THE primary sound of the holidays for me (+ a little bit of: Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Elvis, Brenda Lee, and the Chipmunks).
    There are honestly just too many songs to choose from to recommend but I will try - here are some fun ones: "Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree", "Beat Me Daddy, Eight To The Bar", "Hold Tight, Hold Tight", "I've Got a Guy In Kalamazoo", "The Beer Barrel Polka", & "Strip Polka".
    I believe they started off as a cover band of the Boswell Sisters, so if you want to go back in time a tiny bit further you can check out the songs: "Rock & Roll" and "Alexander's Ragtime Band" (that's right the song is called Rock & Roll and its from 1934- I guess these ladies started something really big ;) )
    Also on an unrelated note, I see that you've never reacted to the 1959 song: "Over the Mountain; Across the Sea" by Johnnie & Joe. If you've never heard it YOU MUST it is beautiful. One of my tops for sure.
    Also The Platters are another absolutely phenomenal group that I grew up listening to. I suggest: "Twilight Time", "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", and "Only You" to get you started, but honestly there are just so many more.
    Enjoy!

    I listen to the Andrew Sisters often. It always puts me back on my Grandfather's pontoon, cruising the lake. He loved WWII era boogie and big bands. You need to listen to Andrew Sisters "Mr Sandman" and "Rum and Coca-Cola". Also, anything Glenn Miller or Tommy Dorsey or Les Brown. They were big band orchestras.

    I love that the song mentions the bugle player blowing it "eight to the bar." So cool when a tune references beats and measures (which, in this case, means he plays it sped up so they can dance).

      WWII was a time when everyone was called on to help out and the women of America stepped up big time. As far as I know the only thing women didn’t do in the military was actual combat. Go to the Oklahoma Museum of Flying it shows some of the behind the scenes stuff that was done. Or go to the 99’s Museum of Women pilots. Both are in OkC or if you are in San Antonio TX go to the airbase and see some of the displays about the contributions of women. In the private sector there was Rosie the Riveter to show how it was going.

    Hi again folks.
    At 73 years of age (1949) this song pre-dates me by several years (1941). Although I did grow up with it in my parents home as they were lovers of music of that era. My musical "birth" occurred during the early to middle 1060's due to the "British Invasion" spearheaded by The Beatles.
    This song was typical of the, then current (1940's), craze of "jump blues" and this scene was taken from the Abbot and Costello film "Buck Privates).
    A bugle is a brass instrument looking somewhat like a trumpet although the bugle has absolutely no valves with its' beautiful and wide variety of notes produced simply(?) by the buglers' lips.
    I really think it would be nearly impossible for anyone to not love this tune - regardless of age or musical preferences.
    All the best you guys and all those you hold dear,
    Terry
    p.s. I am subscribed and absolutely love your presentations.

  • @alking7655
    @alking7655 Год назад +1

    @RobSquadReactions, Amber's father is right. The ladies at the start actually say what the guy is. In the story of the song, he is a trumpet player from Chicago.
    He plays the bugle, which is a particular type of horn, but it has no valves and is played purely through breathing control.
    "Reveille" is a tune that is played on the bugle, usually in the defence forces, and is used to awaken service personnel. It is a signal to represent the beginning of the day and also a stand to attention.
    It is why the Last post, which you may hear at Memorial or Veterans Day services (the latter is marked as Remembrance Day in the UK and Commonwealth), is the opposite.
    It is used to signal the end of a day and to signal rest. It is also why it is used as a symbol to lay fallen service personnel to peaceful rest, and pay respects, followed by a short span (usually a minute or two) of silent remembrance being observed afterward.

    Thank goodness these two reviewers are listening to the Andrews sisters performance as filmed in the movie “Buck Privates,” starring Abbott and Costello. The Andrews sisters are great with the vinyl recording but they were visual performers and they just knocked the song out of the ballpark with the vocals and with the choreography. Patti Andrews was the more vivacious but together they gave us memorable recordings and performances.

    When the Pointer Sisters began their career, they modeled themselves a lot on the Andrews Sisters. In fact, they covered some of those old songs. Then, as their career developed, they went more and more to their own independent style. If you've never listened to the Pointer Sisters' early music, it would be well worth your time.

      I saw the Pointer Sisters (all 4) as the opening act for rock band Chicago in August 1973. They were dressed like the '40's and they were really cool. I was very impressed, enjoyed it very much. There was a tall hat rack at the corner of the stage, and as each one came on stage, they left something, a scarf, a boa, a hat (don't really remember), on the hat rack, before they all started to sing. It was great.

My mum grew up with them....I adore them and have the original 78 records. This was a clip from a movie. Remember the war years promoted positive messages for their country during war. This clip was designed for the war effort with the uniforms etc. Bette Midler did a cover of this and it too was very successful. Great choice...please play more of these outstanding sisters....perhaps Rum and Cokecola. 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

I grew up in the 70's listening to 40's music with my grandmother and 60's Motown with my mom. I love this song. My grandfather was shot in Guadalcanal, my grandmother was a nurse in the Navy, and she was his nurse when he was in the hospital. In some weird way, I owe my existence to the unknown Japanese soldier who shot my grandfather.

I wanted to be Patty Andrews, the blonde sister in the middle. I guess I discovered them a little earlier, because they were in a few of the Abbott and Costello movies. I hope you do more of their songs. "Hold Tight" is a great one. I'd still like to see a reaction to Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters doing Jingle Bells. Classic!
