They offered a musical protection blanket to some war-torn nation via records, movies, radio, clubs, phases, canteens, and abroad war areas emphasized the motto that America was solid and proud…also to keep on performing and swinging! Second and then perhaps Bob Wish in dedication and comprehensive USO touring, the young ladies’ profound impact extends right now with such current pop idols as Bette Midler, The Pointer Sisters, Barry Manilow, The Manhattan Transfer, The Superstar Sisters, and Christina Aguilera all having reinvented themselves in Andrews Sisters’ design at once or another. However, as the adhesive harmonies from the Andrews Sisters had been intricately close, their personal harmonies had been more discordant. Hailing from Minnesota, eldest sister LaVerne was created on July 6, 1911, accompanied by Maxene on January 3, 1916, and lastly Patty on February 16, 1918.
