- Summary
- "The Andrews Sisters, the legendary singing trio from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, are the most successful female singing group in history and were the world's top-selling group until the Beatles arrived. Of the 605 songs they recorded, 113 made The Billboard's weekly top 30. They also made 18 movies, appeared regularly on radio and television, and entertained three generations of GIs." "Based on extensive research, unpublished letters, and interviews with family, friends, and colleagues, this book documents not only the lives and work of the Andrews Sisters but also the popular culture spanned by their long careers. The book contains a complete discography of their released, unreleased, and solo recordings, including recording dates, record numbers, and accompaniment. Also included are a filmography and documentation of their radio and television appearances."--BOOK JACKET.
