This review is from: 50th Anniversary Collection (Audio CD)
If you don't alreay own this. You have no idea what you are missing. A couple of my favorites on this cd are 'Beat me Daddy 8 to the Bar' and 'Corns for my Country' two songs I had never heard until I bought this cd. I bought the cd for 'Dont Sit Under the Apple Tree' and 'Boogie Woodgie Bugle Boy'. Those 4 songs are great. Another great song on this cd is 'Rum and Coca-Cola'.

Patty, LaVerne and Maxine sing away the blues,
By Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME)
This review is from: 50th Anniversary Collection (Audio CD)
With their toothy smiles and pompadours the Andrews Sisters personified the decade of the 1940's, including yeomen's work during World War II entertaining the troops. Actually, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" was recorded in January of 1941 for the Abbott & Costello movie "Buck Privates," well before Pearl Harbor, but certainly "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Anyone Else But Me)" is the quintessential WWII song. The Andrews Sisters burst on the scene in 1937 when they turned "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen," a Yiddish musical song, into the most popular song in the country. Over the years they proved them were as strong with a ballad, like "I Can Dream Cant I" as they were with novelty songs like "Rum and Coca-Cola" (where the sisters do Jamaican one-liners). No, I have no idea when LaVerne or Maxine are singing lead instead of Patty and I certainly cannot explain the difference between Vic Schoen & His Orchestra versus Gordon Jenkins & His Orchestra. All I know is the Andrews Sisters set the bar for female sibling trios and outperformed the McGuire Sisters and Fontane Sisters put together. This album features a dozen of their biggest hits from 1937 to 1949, although it is missing a few choice songs ("I Wanna Be Loved" comes to mind), including those recorded with Bing Crosby ("Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive" being the biggie), although those are certainly available elsewhere. I think America's love affair with vocal harmonies pretty much begins with the Andrews Sisters, who are like the fairy godmothers for the Everyly Brothers, The Mamas & The Papas, and anybody else who comes to mind.

A Wonderful Collection,
By "jwooff8779" (Alton, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 50th Anniversary Collection (Audio CD)
I first encountered The Andrews Sisters in Abbott and Costello's "BUCK PRIVATES", which featured the energetic BOOGIE WOOGIE BUGLE BOY and BOUNCE ME BROTHER WITH A SOLID FOUR, both of which are included in this sparkling must-have CD.The Andrews Sisters managed to be so unswervingly upbeat through such an uncertain period in American history. Their joyful enthusiasm shines in this collection of some of their most popular songs. It is no wonder they were wildly popular with American servicemen, and their positive energy is so relevant now at this period in our history. I cannot listen to this collection without tapping my feet, moving my torso and singing along! If you are in the mood for a good, fun listening experience, this CD is for you!
