Fallout brought me here. I’m from Minnesota, and I’m in love with these sirens. I wish I was born 30 years earlier. My favorite song is “Rum and Coca Cola.
R.I.P. TO THE FANTASTIC , WONDERFUL, FABULOUS, SUPERB , "THE ANDREW SISTERS" LOVED THEIR MUSIC & SINGING. (I WAS BORN 1949). MY PARENTS, AUNTIE'S & UNCLE'S, COUSIN'S (OLDER). LATER YEARS 1950'S REALLY LOVED THEM SINGING !!!!! FROM U. (2021).
It's very heartwarming to see all the new fans that are out there. I've loved the girls since I was a kid, even though they were from a generation before me. It was a real treat to be a part of this documentary. The BBC spent a couple of days at my place in Brooklyn filming and interviewing me for this. I had the great pleasure and honor of knowing and being friends with both Maxene and Patty. They were amazing ladies and I miss them dearly. Thanks for posting this, Corporal!
Thank you, thank you, thank you (that's one for each of the girls) for posting this film. I've looked for it for a couple years now. I love Maxene's home movies and the film of movie rehearsals. You really see their fun-loving nature, and how close they were. Posting this now is perfect, just days after Patty's passing. They still give us something to smile about!
marcy pell I was working Sisters of Swing a few years ago and Julie Ludlum played Patty in the show, some how I mixed up their names and thought that Julie Andrews was the youngest sister. Also Julie was the only girl in the show who had the opportunity to actually meet the Andrew Sister she was portraying cause Patty was still alive at the time, when did she die?
Oh how wonderful. I grew up listening to my mothers Andrews Sisters music. Looking forward to watching this. Thank you for posting. Such a beautiful sound!
13:26 That is exactly what artists need to start doing again! Now days, all you hear is these wimpy, whispering voices that aren’t really even singing! I hate the voices of most singers today. The Andrews Sisters were one in a million. Truly.
They have great talent and their voices, I don't know what to say they have great tone and rhythm. I don't care what the song is, they can do it. TV shows have always sung the 'Boy 'song. It's a classic
The Andrews are superb, but I really wish more people knew about the Boswells today. They are on a level of their own when it comes to jazz harmony trios.
I have loved the Andrews Sisters all my life, but I'd heard anything about their upbringing or private lives. Your video took care of that!! All the best from a very happy camper.
The Everly brothers, The Bee Gees, The Andrew sisters. Family harmony is best like a well tuned orchestra I think Mozart would have been proud to write for them
I just love the sisters and their music. I saw them in a Abbott and Costello' movie. The song Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B is a favorite of mine and I have a Christmas song with BC that has them on it
To The Andrews Sisters, Laverne , Patty And Maxine , You Are loved Always ! As With Capt Glenn Miller And The 418TH AAFTTC, Yale University, New Haven Connecticut Band ! The Best Combinations Of The 1940's !
Connie Boswell was a big influence on Ella Fitzgerald. She said " I tried sing like Connie Boswell which is fine until one day you encounter a song that your idol never sung and then you have to find your own voice".
Typical BBC programme, high quality, insightful commentary and showing stuff that you will not see elsewhere. Thank heavens for the bBC, the best broadcaster in the world.
They're so well known for how they looked in the early 1940s, at the peak of their popularity, that the photos of them in the 1930s before their wartime pompadour hairstyles are sometimes unrecognizable.
@@peterhaslund It was written in Yiddish by Jacob Jacobs and Shalom Secunda for a Yiddish musical comedy, and the Andrews Sisters were covering it in Yiddish before anyone had heard of them. It was later translated into English, while retaining the original Yiddish opening line, for their first recording of it. In fact they had wanted to record it in Yiddish but the record company insisted they use the English version. The record company transliterated the title with German orthography, but it's obvious to anyone who's not deaf that they are singing "bistu shein (pronounced shayn), not "bist du schön". In modern Yiddish transliteration, it would be "Bei mir bistu shein", and that is how it's transliterated in the numerous Yiddish versions before the Andrews Sisters recorded it, and often after.
I grew up listening to the Andrews Sisters and loving their music, but found this show to do a transvestigation because I remember the tallest looking like a man in drag. And yes, Momma looks like a man also.
Excelent trio!
My father saw the sisters along with Louis Armstrong and some others at a USO show in France 1944
+Evan Kavan my he's a luckkyyy guy
woohooo!!! awesome. he was military?
That is so cool.
Wow! My heartfelt thanks go out to him.
HOW ABSOLUTELY AWESOME THAT MUST HAVE BEEN🤗

I just recently discovered their music and I'm obsessed with them! They're amazing!
Recent: no. Obsessed: yes. Amazing: indeed :)
Please allow me to jump on that train.

Billy Daugherty Wow you really met them? Your lucky to have been born when you were, I was only born in 81.
That's so funny... I had always wished I'd been born in the 1920's! Then I could have grown up with the music I love :)
I just had a dream about Patty being my gal last night.Wow!
Their voices blended together so well it’s like honey for the ears
Three superb ladies pleasing us still in the 21st century with their unforgettable songs and performances.
the narrator´s voice is so calming, i love it

They are my family and I think this is really Special because they are so iconic! Thank you

three voices made into one..such harmony never been equalled again
Oh how wonderful. I grew up listening to my mothers Andrews Sisters music. Looking forward to watching this. Thank you for posting. Such a beautiful sound!
A history of the Andrews Sisters! Brilliant! Thank you so much for posting!
Loved the Andrews Sisters!! Thanks for this
what a wonderful voice the commentator has!
I love them and cannot stop listening.Even my drinking circle now enjoys my Andrews Sisters mix.

I love the Sisters and I never saw this video, I watch also the other, thanks a lot :D

Connie Boswell was a big influence on Ella Fitzgerald. She said " I tried sing like Connie Boswell which is fine until one day you encounter a song that your idol never sung and then you have to find your own voice".
Where did Ella say this??

I always thought that New Yorker sign atop the building stood for the magazine?
The clip at 12:16 is from Reefer Madness.
Enjoyed this but did like American songs from that time.Glen Miller too❤
can anyone name the song on the record playing at the beginning of the video?
It is called "Jammin"
Their real last name was actually "Andreas", from their Greek father.
A typical BBC programme. Talk, talk, talk, but never let you listen.

If you don't get the point, fine. 'The best broadcaster in the world', yes - but it doesn't say much for the others.
They're so well known for how they looked in the early 1940s, at the peak of their popularity, that the photos of them in the 1930s before their wartime pompadour hairstyles are sometimes unrecognizable.
Mister Chivo Brought me here (ron con coca cola)
ooh jj-johnny johnny
Watch this, if for nothing else but for the pronunciation of "Buy me Mr. Shane"
By mir bistu shayn, and their pronunciation is fine.
@@sheilamacdougal4874 Bei mir bist du schön
@@peterhaslund It's Yiddish, not German.

For shame BBC! Lynda Wells wasn't Maxene's "manager." She was her live-in lover and later adopted daughter (before gay marriage was legal).
I'm sure Lynda described herself as Maxene's "manager" when this program was made. The BBC undoubtedly went along with the title she gave them.
Mom looks very very manish.....as one or two daughters....one of them became a lesbian.....
I grew up listening to the Andrews Sisters and loving their music, but found this show to do a transvestigation because I remember the tallest looking like a man in drag. And yes, Momma looks like a man also.
You don’t become, you are. She was just hiding it. But yes, they all do look like men. I knew I wasn’t crazy. 😭
