I "wierded out" my parents in 1973 when I came home with a Decca (MCA) double record album of their greatest hits...I was 18...I'm now 57 and still love them.....
To them perform pretty much live on record, it's really amazing. No female group could sing in harmony like they did. Patty was only 41 here. They look so much older.
With Patty Andrews' passing on 30 January 2013 at age 94, one of the most remarkable careers in all of music has now drawn to a close. I for one am inconsolable.
they DID however place no.6 on the Songs of the Century list with 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy'... 22 spots ahead of The Beatles 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' (at 28).
Well, its almost 5am now,and I just happen to come up on WML by accident (with Bob Hope) as I was trying to see something else. I have seen many of them by now and have enjoyed every one of them. I guess I have to call in sick today to work as I wont be getting much sleep now. But it was well worth it. Thanks for posting these.
I love these old shows and clips. I always remember, also, what happened to Dorothy. I don't believe she died a natural death. If she did, it was a real coincidence that she died right before her scheduled press conference. Angie.
@ BleedBNG. Regarding comparisons between the total record sales of The Andrews Sisters versus those of The Beatles, I believe that the record industry stopped counting the total record sales of The Andrews Sisters sometime during the 1970's, so no one knows for certain the exact total sales of The Andrews Sisters' records to date.
How funny, that the panel sings for wonderful Andrews Sisters, rather than the other way around! Unfortuneatly I can't make out which song they are trying to sing. Anybody get it? Thanks for posting this!
Hi Seafree - You post some really good videos but for some reason they don't show up as icons that can be accessed when your name is clicked. Is there something unusual in the way your site is set up?
