The group consisted of three sisters: Their hit " Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy " can be considered an early example of rhythm and blues [2] [3] or jump blues. The Andrews Sisters' harmonies and songs are still influential today, and have been copied and recorded by entertainers such as Bette Midler , Christina Aguilera , Pentatonix , and others.
The group was among the inaugural inductees to the Vocal Group Hall of Fame upon its opening in Patty, the youngest and the lead singer of the group, was 7 when the group was formed, and 12 when they won first prize at a talent contest at the local Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis , where LaVerne played piano accompaniment for the silent film showings in exchange for free dancing lessons for herself and her sisters. Following the collapse of their father's Minneapolis restaurant, the sisters went on the road to support the family. They started their career as imitators of an earlier successful singing group, the Boswell Sisters , who were popular in the s.
Boogie Serenade
Instrumental to the sisters' success over the years were their parents, Olga and Peter, their orchestra leader and musical arranger, Vic Schoen — , and Jack and David Kapp , who founded Decca Records. In the years just before and during World War II , the Andrews Sisters were at the height of their popularity, and the group still tends to be associated in the public's mind with the war years.
They had numerous hit records during these years, both on their own and in collaboration with Bing Crosby. The sisters performed their hits in service comedy films like Buck Privates and Private Buckaroo. During the war, they entertained the Allied forces extensively in Africa, and Italy , as well as in the U. They also helped actress Bette Davis and actor John Garfield found California 's famous Hollywood Canteen , a welcome retreat for servicemen where the trio often performed, volunteering their personal time to sing and dance for the soldiers, sailors, and marines they did the same at New York City 's Stage Door Canteen during the war.
While touring, they often treated three random servicemen to dinner when they were dining out. The sisters' hit " Rum and Coca Cola " became one of their most popular and best-known recordings, but also inspired some controversy. Some radio stations were reluctant to play the record because it mentioned a commercial product by name, and because the lyrics were subtly suggestive of local women prostituting themselves to U. The song was based on a Trinidadian calypso , and a dispute over its provenance led to a well-publicized court case. An ad in the Radio Annual showed photos of the Andrews as children, as contemporary singers, and as old women in the then-future year of ; the act would not make it that long.
Our mother died in and then our father in All three of us were upset, and we were at each other's throats all the time. The English lyrics were written by Mitchell Parish.

The Andrews Sisters formally broke up in Maxene and LaVerne tried to continue the act as a duo and met with good press during a day tour of Australia , but a reported suicide attempt by Maxene in December [17] put a halt to any further tours Maxene spent a short time in the hospital after swallowing 18 sleeping pills, an occurrence that LaVerne told reporters was an accident. This however did not sit well with Patty and a cease and desist order was sent to Skelton.
The sisters' private relationship was often troubled and Patty blamed it on Maxene: The trio reunited in and signed a new recording deal with Capitol Records , for whom Patty was already a featured soloist. By this point however, rock-and-roll and doo-wop were dominating the charts and older artists were left by the wayside. The sisters recorded a dozen singles through , some of which attempted to keep up with the times by incorporating rock sounds.
None of these achieved any major success. In addition, they produced three hi-fi albums, including a vibrant LP of songs from the dancing s with Billy May 's orchestra. They toured extensively during the s, favoring top nightclubs in Las Vegas, Nevada , California , and London, England. Eldest sister LaVerne died in at the age of 55 after a year-long bout with cancer [20] during which she was replaced by singer Joyce DeYoung May 24, - March 7, DeYoung fulfilled concert appearances including an appearance on The Dean Martin Show on November 30, , but she did not record with Patty and Maxene.
LaVerne had founded the original group, and often acted as the peacemaker among the three during the sisters' lives, more often siding with her parents, to whom the girls were extremely devoted, than with either of her sisters.
After LaVerne died, Maxene and Patty continued to perform periodically until , when Maxene decided she would become the Dean of Women at Tahoe Paradise College, [21] teaching acting, drama and speech at a Lake Tahoe college and working with troubled teens, and Patty was once again eager to be a soloist. In , Patty appeared in Lucille Ball 's third series Here's Lucy , in the sixth episode of the second season, titled "Lucy and the Andrews Sisters". She also had a cameo as herself along with many other stars in the film The Phynx.
This was a follow-up to Patty's success in Victory Canteen , a California revue. It launched the careers of many now notable theater, film, and television stars, including John Travolta , Marilu Henner , Treat Williams , and Ann Reinking. It was the last major tour for the sisters, and was cut short owing to a conflict with the show's producers over pay for the sisters, resulting in the cancellation of an extensively scheduled road tour.
Patty continually distanced herself from Maxene, until her death, and would not explain her motives regarding the separation. Maxene appealed to Patty for a reunion, personally if not professionally, both in public and in private, but to no avail. Maxene suffered a serious heart attack while performing in Illinois in and underwent quadruple bypass surgery , from which she successfully recovered.
Patty visited her sister while she was hospitalized. Now sometimes appearing as "Patti" but still signing autographs as "Patty" she re-emerged in the late s as a regular panelist on The Gong Show. Maxene had a very successful comeback as a cabaret soloist in and toured worldwide for the next 15 years, recording a solo album in entitled "Maxene: An Andrews Sister" for Bainbridge Records. Patty started her own solo act in , but did not receive the critical acclaim her sister had for her performances, even though Patty was considered to be the "star" of the group for years. The critics' major complaint was that Patty's show concentrated too much on Andrews Sisters material, which did not allow Patty's own talents as an expressive and bluesy vocalist to shine through.
The two sisters did reunite, albeit briefly, on October 1, , when they received a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame , even singing a few bars of " Beer Barrel Polka " for the Entertainment Tonight cameras. An earthquake shook the area that very morning and the ceremony was nearly cancelled, which caused Patty to joke, "Some people said that earthquake this morning was LaVerne because she couldn't be here, but really it was just Maxene and me on the telephone.
