The Andrews Sisters were most popular in the 1940s during World War 2 and known for their Jazz Swing sound. Their close harmonies are really impressive, even now. In this clip from 1941, they were in their 20s.
The Andrews Sisters where so popular that lots of Big Bands refuse to be on the same bill as them. The band leaders knew they would be second billings to the Andrews Sisters.
✨✨⭐⭐🇺🇸🎵🎵✨Great
I liked the Devine Miss M's version also.
@@marshaverduzco2859 I like both versions
They were in several Abbot and Costello movies, that's where I heard them first.
If you don’t know the Andrews Sisters, you probably don’t know the King of Swing, Mr. Cab Calloway. 😉
Armitage,who also is a Legend! Baltimore Maryland is trying to save a house were Cab Callaway lived,but it looks as if it maybe torn down!!!Very sad!
I saw Cab and his daughter perform at Vine Street Bar and Grill around 1987. What a treat!
Minnie the Mooncher
She reacted to the Nicholas Brothers dancing to Cab Calloway, but didn't really pay attention to the music. A shame, but you can understand being captivated by the Nicholas Brothers
@@tonylaca7087 ,Reefer Man! ( sung by Cab Callaway)✌
You are hereby awarded a Degree in Eclectic Musicology for your diverse interests. Keep on keeping on.
Seconded.
harold wilkes , Here Here !
She couldn't pronounced bugle.
Picky, picky.
@@ingriddubbel8468 She couldn't read that word, like she never saw it before.
I love how she makes her voice sound like the bugle.. This was WAYYYYYY back in the day.. My mother's day and I'm almost 60.. Bette Midler did a version in the early 70s that's a lot of fun too.
sukie584 Bette’s version rocks too!
Adrienne Pender indeed!
Bette's was too fast for dancing. This one was better. An iconic song for soldiers being drafted in th army. Some famous band leaders were drafted. Glenn Miller's plane disappeared although I think he was entertaining not serving. Irving Berlin was drafted. But he was a songwriter not a band leader.
liberty Ann this shows differently abt being too fast. But the original captures the sound of the 40s perfectly. . th-cam.com/video/zhzD_PCdlWw/w-d-xo.html
The Pointer Sisters did a great version too !
Love the Andrew's Sisters. Cooler than the flip side of a pillow for their time.
I like that cool comparison!!😁
The flip side of a pillow! That is neat.
A bit of history if you're so inclined......
The clip you're watching is from the 1941 Abbott & Costello comedy film "Buck Privates" This is the short version. The full-length studio version is even better :-D
Although The Andrews Sisters appear in uniforms, at the time (1941) women were still not allowed to enlist. That changed in 1943 with creation of the Women's Army Corp under Col Oveta Culp Hobby. My great aunt was one of the first enlistees.
Update: You've got a new subscriber :-)
Not true. My Aunt Margie enlisted in the Army Nurse Corps in 1940. You're talking about the start of the WACS, which was the Women's Army Corps.
My late Mom was part of the Navy W.A.V.E. S. (Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service).
What a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing. My mother was from that time.
Damn. I forgot that. I loved those movies. Cheers!
When you had to be able to sing in order to be a singer, not just look the part and let auto tune do the rest.
Markywellsboy So true!
100% true !!!! Absolutely, and that my friends is the difference between then and music made after circa 2000. Now talent is not required, good looks and being photogenic is the important thing instead of the ability to read music, play an instrument, compose, write lyrics and have a voice with range, tone and pitch. Such a shame.
Ella Fitzgerald never needed to light herself on fire and do backflips half naked across the stage.
@@manfredadams3252 Miss Ella , along with the other Ladies of this era had class & finesse!
And keep your clothes on.
Love it!
Please do: "Sing! Sing! Sing!" by Benny Goodman
OMG, I've asked for that about 3 thousand times.
@@peterblood50 I love that one!!
I have the full version of sing sing sing love it January 1st 1938 it was recorded.most used song in media even a cookie commercial also have Andrew sisters greatest hits. I love bie mier bist do shoen
Excellent taste!
Masterpiece.
Bugle-long U sound. Not buggle, with short u. My mom met them when she was younger.
Sun Son Sounds like you
Could reread and realize it was a simple observation, on a word, with no exclamation marks. We can learn something new every day, or over react as you did. I have watched her long enough to comment back as she wants. If someone gives me some info, I don’t flip out. You read so much more into it, than was commented. I never applied a race to India, either. You did; without knowing her full history.
@Sun Son they were popular to all back in the day. Youth is no reason, and color matters even less. Plenty of white kids when I was a teen in the 70's knew Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway. If you like and take an interest in music, or anything else, you will take the time to learn about it. And most certainly youth and color are not barriers to that. Expand you horizons, take the time to learn. Today the total knowledge of all of mankind is right there at your fingertips online. There is no excuse to not have a depth of knowledge, none.
Sun Son I guess, you have a lot to learn then. Its sad you have missed what planet earth will never get back in musicians, going back centuries. Once upon a time this was the norm to learn history of everything. More radio would help. Music--- 'THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.'. Not enough exploring, but plenty of snowflaking, today.
bob garr 👍👍👍👍 They do not realize how little effort they put into anything, anymore. Tunnel visioned and offended, are main trains of thought. And never able to take info from elders to increase their own knowledge; to then pass on the next person .
Sun Son Don’t know what your problem is, but I do not need direction, from you.
Please note: how many camera cuts did they use? I counted 3. Three camera cuts in a 2 1/2 minute clip?? Compare that to today where the camera cuts about every 1 second. This is what I miss about old school. Watch a Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly dance number from a movie. 1 camera, 1 take.
No trickery, no auto-tune, no splicing different takes, and all the musicians recorded together with the Andrews Sisters in a four track studio.
I was born in the 50’s and grew up with the oldies, and this song was on the radio yesterday, and I was singing along to my 17 mth old grand daughter, and it made her laugh, makes me think of my mom. God bless 💜🙏🏻✝️🕊
Old school? It was ground-breaking at the time. Notice how the skirts are only just below the knee!
Yes, it was a classy and sophisticated time back then.
@@canadiangirl5159 My dear.
Those skirts were a little too short!
Shocking!
Just kidding!
Excellent performance!
Great point
When the USA entered WW2, the military needed fabric for uniforms, parachutes and tents; so the 1930s long hemlines on women's skirts rose to conserve fabric. After the war, in 1947 Christian Dior announced "the New Look," and hemlines again (for adult women) descended to midi length until the early 1960s.
@@JudgeJulieLit Could that be why I had to wear short pants in school (in England) until I was 14 (1967)? And on the very first day that I wore long trousers one of the school bullies tripped be on my way from one class to another and ripped a hole in the knee.
Sad to say I was a lttle too young to truly appreciate miniskirts, but me and my friend did like to sit at the bottom of the stairs on double decker buses. [He turned out to be gay and died of AIDS.]
That's back when you had to have talent and be able to actually sing to be famous....
True.
Hey I'm a bit of an old fart myself, and I think it is kind of ignorant to say that there are not famous people around with great voices and the talent to match. If you don't know who Jacob Collier is, I definitely recommend him as a starting point. The kid is off the charts genius.
Moon River - th-cam.com/video/VPLCk-FTVvw/w-d-xo.html just won him another grammy this year
So right!
@@troubleondemand7703 Well what I think he is saying is that you can make it as a musician even without talent these years, which I mean- Yeah. Though people like Harry Styles stepping down from One Direction and following his passion gives me hope.
Wow, I'm so impressed with you right now. This song is waaaaay before my time, but I love it.
You should try "Jump, Jive, and Wail" by Brian Seltzer. It's a much more modern take on Swing music, and a super fun video.
Not cab calloway?
@@andrewyoung2796 just trying to introduce her to something newer.
Isabel Jimenez Loved Setzer in the Stray Cats, he’s a talented man
Any live Brian Seltzer is worth checking out, especially the stuff with his swing orchestra.
I love Jump, Jive, and Wail.
Rum and Coca Cola is my fav too
Aw hell girl, one of my absolute favorite songs! I grew up with a daddy who played jazz and big band, and this was required listening, lol! And you really should look at the old films, those kids could dance, and it got wild! Michael Jackson got so many of his moves from people like Fred Astaire, Bob Fosse, and Gene Kelly. And I can't forget my man, James Cagney, the movie tough guy who was an amazing dancer.
"It Don't Mean a Thing, If It Ain't Got That Swing" -- and this tune swings! Other songs by the The Andrew Sisters that you might have heard on television or in a movie include "Winter Wonderland," "Rum And Coca-Cola," and "Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree (With Anyone Else But Me)." Another song from this era that you might enjoy is Benny Goodman and Peggy Lee's version of "Why Don't You Do Right?" from 1942.
Mike Caetano
Doo wap, Doo wap, Doo wap, Doo wap, Doo wap.. lol I remember that song as a Cling Wrap jingle.
@@linfinster When commercials mangle pop songs to sell things I try my best to block them from my mind. [grin]
Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington's version of Don't Mean a Thing is the more definitive version.
My mom loves that "Don't sit under the apple tree" doing. For some reason that's all she listens to, is songs from this time period.
Why Don't You Do Right is awesome
big band music is hip as shit. my parents were members of the greatest generation, and, I still barely remember my mom playing this stuff and singing while she did chores and looked after her 5 kids. wonderful music
Heck, I was born in '78 and I love that stuff--Glenn Miller forever
barb rarick
I was born in 1947. I remember sitting in front of a huge console radio that was nearly as big as me, listening to all this music. Still love Big Band.
@@lindaterrell5535 Lucky! I remember conversations with a woman who was 80 years old in 2010 and she reminisced about dancing to the Big Bands on the Steel Pier in Atlantic City--so jealous.
vinnynj78
My mom would tell me stories of how she played hooky to see Frank Sinatra.
@@lindaterrell5535 ,64 years old and big bands.....boogie!
Now you know where the inspiration for Christina Aguilera's song Candy Man came from!
People knew that to begin with.
Vince Klortho
No there was the actual swing band that played candyman
@@robbiefrentz9427, incorrect. The song was introduced by Aguilera, and the clip is a deliberate and explicit referencing of the Andrews Sisters. It was not really an appropriation, since everybody who has any knowledge of the swing era in the history both of jazz and dance music knows all about the Andrew Sisters.
larry baby
The song actually was released in 1971. To my surprise also though it was way earlier. It originally was released for willie wonka . And im pretty sure christina was not born at that time. However I really like her version and depiction and yes she did it about the. Sisters. But that’s not what I said. Im still correct when i said that song was out before christina. Sang her version
@@robbiefrentz9427, got it. thank you. I was wrong, apologies.
"Gimmie Some Skin My Friend," watch that gem by the Andrews Sisters...( a jive way of shaking hands in Harlem,) and amazing dance moves! Patty, Maxene...and LaVerne!
Classic! Standard on the USO tours to this day!
He was a trumpet player who got drafted. This was world war 2. So they also drafted the other band members so he could play the army bugle calls. To wake up. To go to bed. A bugle call for each thing the soldiers do. Now Company B is very boogie woogie because their bugle player plays so hot. There is nothing in this song about depression. It's a feel good song about music.
Buggel Boi? Laughed so hard I cried!🎺🎶🎙🎼🎺
Blast to the past!👍 Andrew's sister's rock💯
More like Jive, they really Jazz up the joint.
Ha loved seeing you react to this! My Uncles served in WW2, and my Mom was just a kid when the Andrews Sisters Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy came out. My Mom taught me swing dancing in the kitchen when I was small to the Andrews Sisters ~ and yes, they had moves! Old school or not, all the girls in my family knew that if Uncle Russell or Roy or Bob danced with you, you were going to DANCE lol. That whole generation really could dance.
That's a wonderful story, Lily! That generation was amazing. So glad that we have our stories to remember them by. Thanks for sharing!
@@terrymurphy2032 My mother was in Nottingham during WW2, and she worked as a bomb girl. She had wonderful stories about the handsome American GIs that were stationed in England and all of the dances she and her friends went to. She talked about drawing the line on their legs to make it look like they were wearing hosiery when they weren't. When the war ended and after years of hiding lights, they turned on every light in the house, pulled down the blackout curtains and had huge bonfires in the streets. As she was telling me this, she got this far away look on her face and her eyes glimmered as she said, "I kissed many a Yank that night." Naughty mama!
Storm Tater, my dad served in the US Navy in WW2. He told me stories of all the beautiful women he met (& probably kissed). Maybe your mom was one ! Dad fell hopelessly in love with a girl from the Philippines. My grandma was just horrible about her. That was considered a different race way back then...and forbidden ! Dad came home alone but he never stopped loving that girl.
@@tammycambell5560 Oh Tammy, that breaks my heart for your dad. The homefront was very hostile to any foreign women that our boys dared to fall in love with, or heaven forbid, marry and bring home. My parents met on a base in England where my mother was a member of the Royal Air Force, and my dad served in the American Air Force. They married, had my brother in England, and my dad brought his young family back home. They called the women War Brides, and people treated them terribly. My mother told me that people would help her at stores until they heard her accent, then they would refuse to help her or check her out. She was even spat on a few times. It was terribly traumatic to a young woman who had lost her entire family during the war (father, mother, sister and brother) and had no one to return home to. Even after close to 20 years of marriage, the family treated her like an outsider. Decades later after most of the elder generation had died, including both of my parents, my aunt apologized to my siblings and me. They were flawed people, just like we all are, and though it was difficult, we all forgave them. I hope your Dad found love again and was content in his life. Best to you.
@@kaseythompson4670 You know, it's sad but Dad ended up marrying a shrieking harridan (my mother) who relentlessly stalked him until he broke down and married her. A few years before he died he handed me a small linen bag and asked me to hold onto it for him. I split the contents with my brother. It contained a handful of black sand.
A solid 15 years before the birth of Rock and Roll, the free-wheeling intensity and beat of *"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"* was ahead of its time, and was no doubt loved and brought inspiration to the up-and-comers who later brought *revolution* to music in the late 1950's.
Another good one they did with Bing Crosby is "Accentuate the Positive!" Love their harmonies. I would looove to see you react to Mandy Barnett! Sorry to be a pest 🙏 have a great evening!
Mandy Barnett 😍
I like Bing, but the Johnny Mercer and the Pied Pipers cover is better!
They were influenced by the Boswell Sisters, check them out! They were popular even earlier, early 1930's
True. The Andrew Sister actually began as what is now called a "tribute group" or "tribute band" to the Boswell Sisters. One of the Boswell Sisters was crippled & was wheelchair bound, which limited them somewhat in the days before wheelchair ramps, etc. Some marketing people in the music industry thought wouldn't it be great, if we had The Boswell Sisters, but with the better flexibility in touring, & other things, such as the dance number in the video, that not having one member in a wheelchair would give us? The Andrew Sisters were not just influenced by the Boswell Sisters but were a copy and marketed themselves as such. The recording industry noticed them, got hold of them, and quietly disassociated The Andrew Sisters from being a copy of the Boswell Sisters and marketed them as their own group.
Not to take away from The Andrew Sisters, as they turned out to be their own group and had a fabulous career. I don't know, how the Boswell Sisters felt about this, or if they had any ambition in music further, than what they'd already achieved, which was pretty impressive, considering, that they were from down south, and these daughters of a Norwegian and a Greek immigrant from up North, The Andrew Sisters, thought enough of the Boswell Sisters to form a tribute group in the days, when cultural regions of the country were much more defined, than nowadays.
Haven't heard much from the Andrews Sisters before, but I enjoyed this! Their "Rum and coca cola" is great too
They were the super group back in the day!!!! This was at a time when they were getting the morale of America up and of course to sell bonds and they were so freaking awesome I am so glad my grandma adopted me cause I got to listen to singers like them and rock and roll from the 70's and 80's!!!!!!!
While we're in this era, check out Rosemary Clooney singing "Blues In the Night"! (Fun fact: she is George Clooney's aunt.)
I *LOVE* Rosemary Clooney. My sister called me up on Thanksgiving to see if I had any rosemary, and she specified the herb, because she knew I had a Rosemary Clooney CD.
@@kathleen109 Lol! I love that. I own a copy of "Rosemary Clooney: Girl Singer" on DVD.
Watch the dance, listen to the toons. Grandma was cooler then you thought.
iT'S BUGLE BOY (LIKE THE HORN PRONOUNCED LIKE BEUGAL)!!!
I'm just beside myself with joy you found the Andrew's Sisters!!! I have adored them since I discovered them in my teens ( I am 47 now)
"Beat Me Daddu Eight to the Bar" is a great, fun song about a piano player beatin' out the notes!
Christina Aguilera's "Candyman " is inspired by this song (Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy) you can see it clearly in the video!
There are SO MANY great singers from this era to explore, I do hope you delve more into the 40's and 50's! If you appreciate raw talent, both vocally and instrumental, I don't see how you can be disappointed!
Great reaction, looking forward to more!
There is great music in every generation. The music of the 40s was amazingly expressive. The Andrew Sisters were one of my favorites of the era. Keep opening your horizons. There is so much to hear over the history of recorded music.
WW 2 1941. Great old song
Better Midler had a big hit with a remake of this, she performed all 3 sisters parts, was excellent.
Mattdirk59 The original is always the best
@Steve, Nanci Griffith, so remarkable! Have never heard her version, will make a point to check it out👍🏻
@Steve , just listened to Nanci's, loved it! Thanks
@Steve, yes, Outbound Plane, Love At The Five And Dime. Initially hearing other artists versions then backtracking to Nanci!
Her reactions are my fav. I do have to say I have never seen a person murder words like she does, lol.
She needs to go to England so she can learn proper English. Not cockney.
A time when singers had real talent and didn't need to take their clothes off.
Back in the day, The Andrew Sisters were massive. Sang with Bing Crosby.
Jump Blues, Bebop Jazz, Boogie Woogie are rollicking styles of popular music that merged genres and styles from the late 1930s to the mid 1950s. Listen to more of it; there's a lot of it and it's great!
They were excellent! ☮️
Expanding your horizons is a beautiful thing to watch!! I've been listening to these sisters for years. Thank you and God bless!
If you like the Andrews Sisters, you should check out the Boswell Sisters. They came first and were even better.
No auto-tune or overproduced garbage here !
Charles Velten That is true but I would hazard a guess that that was no live recording
They didn't need any auto tune. They had talent.
Christina Augulera has a song, Candy Man that was HIGHLY influenced by this. Give it a listen and watch the video. Way before my time, but I’ve always loved them. The last surviving sister passed away not too long ago.
th-cam.com/video/-ScjucUV8v0/w-d-xo.html
OldGamer61, yes, love it.
For more from the era, try some Glen Miller. My favorite is Moonlight Serenade.
Good music is timeless!
The 40’s were great, music and movies. Please don’t sound so ignorant, watch some film of those kids doing the jitter bug. Moves, better moves then kids today.
From the jazz era heavily influenced by black music And Dance
These ladies were so good and ahead of their time, this is many many years before the Supremes or The Shirelles or the Pointer Sister. and many many many years before Destiny's Child or any female vocal group you can think of.
They weren't "ahead of their time," they were right in sync with their time - Jazz, Boggie Woogie, Big Bands, Scat, etc were popular in the 30s and 40s. There were actually other's before the Andrew Sisters including the Boswell Sisters.
One of my favorite Andrews Sisters' songs is "Gimme Some Skin, My Friend" (definitely very dated, though!)
The sounds of Big Band and Swing are TIMELESS!!! Thanks for reviewing this India!
Before the Supremes, The Pointer Sisters, The Ronettes, The Vandellas, The Shirelles, The Emotions, there was the Andrew Sisters!!!
Please react to LP- Lost on you[Live Sessions] version, she is incredible! Really think it'll make an interesting reaction video 😁🔥
Still an infectious earworm all these years later. Nothing like their harmonies
Please do The 5th Dimension's "Aquarius"
I used to love that song Aquarious. When the moon is in the seventh house and jupiter aligns with mars and peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars.My mom had a big variety of music.lol
I once dated a girl who owned a dance company called The Company Be.
"Bugle" is pronounced "B-YOU-gul." It's a type of horn like a trumpet. The Army has distinctive tunes (bugle calls) on the bugle to tell the soldiers when to do things and what to do. "Revele" (REV-uh-lee) means "wake up." It's the Army's version of an alarm clock. There's another bugle call for "chow", and another, "taps" that means "go to sleep." There are other calls that used to be used in battle -- "charge," "retreat," etc. 1941 was the year Pearl Harbour in Hawaii was bombed by the Japanese. Hitler was invading and conquering countries in Europe and it was apparent that America was going to get involved in the European war against Hitler as well as war in the Pacific against the Japanese. Men were being drafted into the Army. Boogie Woogie was a style of music popular at the time which evolved out of jazz and ragtime. This was also a time of dances called Jitterbug, Lindy Hop, and other such dances which were very lively and involved the man lifting his partner through various moves. Bette Midler also did a version of this song. You might search youtube for Boogie Woogie, swing dancing, or jitterbug.
One of the most famous songs ever, but certainly of WWII.
Bette Midler has a great version.
Sure! Do more Andrews sisters
Bette Midler's version just crushes it.
Love the Andrew Sisters. One of my favorite old worn out cassettes.
Thank you for showing this video. The Andrews Sisters were VERY popular back in the 40s. They were great for our country in that time. We had lots of happy songs. I wish our culture had more happy songs in this day in time.
You want another big band tune that COOKS, go with Sing Sing Sing by Benny Goodman
Of course, Swing music, song and dance (and their forerunners late 1800s into the 1920s and '30s) were invented by African American artists. White audiences liked it, and white artists such as The Andrews Sisters came to adapt it.
I’ll be with you in Apple Blossom Time is very pretty. Patty Andrews was a great vocalist. There’s one with a German title that’s a lot of fun. Bei Meir bist de Schoen. I probably misspelled it.
This was one of my mom’s favorite songs. She also liked “In the Mood”.and “Mr. Sandman”. I believe they were all from
the 1940’s. I hadn’t heard any of them in a long time. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane.
The boogie sound influenced early Rock n Roll :) classic!
Has anyone recommended the Barberettes version of this song, they are a Korean girl group, they do great English covers but do great stuff in their own language. If you look them up they have some great stuff on youtube that I think you will like.
love watching your reviews and reactions. You are one of the classier and well-informed ones. On TH-cam that does this. I love when you do the classic rock reviews on the songs I grew up with in the 60s 70s and 80s. But you have to check out this five-piece Hard Rock Woman's Group from Japan called Band-Maid. Start with the official video for the song Thrill, which is like 4 years old. Then anything live from them afterwards. They are phenomenally talented beautiful group of musicians. Their songs though mostly Hard Rock. Incorporate different genres of Music in each song. They will blow your doors off and impress you, this I promise !
Love the Andrew sisters. My parents listened to them. Another good song by them is "Don't sit under the apple tree."
This was a very famous scene from the 1941 movie "Buck Privates" featuring Abbott & Costello in their first movie. Awesome choice!
LOL don't know if they're good, but it said #6 on song of the century, lol. not picking on you, just thought it was funny
For some mind blowing moves from the olden days, check out "Solid Potato Salad" by the Ross Sisters. Can't explain it, it's one of those things you just gotta see.
I think you REALLY get a kick out of the “Hellzapoppin’” dance routine! th-cam.com/video/dSAOV6XEjXA/w-d-xo.html AND “Old Movie Stars Dancing to Bruno Mars’ Uptown Funk” th-cam.com/video/M1F0lBnsnkE/w-d-xo.html AND the “Chattanooga Choo Choo” th-cam.com/video/V2aj0zhXlLA/w-d-xo.html
The Andrews Sisters after Motorhead. That is why I love your channel, the eclectic mix you give us is great.
I just found you tonight. Love it. You should find some Melanie albums. I recommend her songs "I Really Loved Harold", "Christopher Robbin", Dylan's "Tambourine Man," and her most poignant, "Leftover Wine."
They were the biggest album seller's at some point. Look for them in Abbott and Costello movies...
I still have my mother's original 78rpm of this song! And think of how early that music video was -- 40 years before MTV !
A song that has deep meaning at this time is. Showdown at Big Sky by Robbie Robertson who played in the back up band for Bob Dylan
I think you would enjoy Chattanooga Choo Choo from the movie Sun Valley Serenade. If you do watch it, make sure you choose the longer version with the famous Glenn Miller Orchestra's performance being followed by Dorothy Dandridge and the Nicholas Brothers.
If you like this then look up glenn miller orchestra & benny Goodman & you won't be disappointed.
I love the andrews sisters it's all I ever listen to my mom isnt a big fan of the music but in only a kid who knows all of this history
Edit: please react to rum and coca-cola
I like Andrew Sisters, because I'm interested in everything WWII era. 😁🇧🇴
It may seem like old school to you, but these girls were young, hip and knew how to swing, jive and be cool. No different than the youth of today in that. Remember that, as 50 years from now people will see you just as you see The Andrew Sisters today. This song is awesome and has held up well nearly 80 years latter. Hey, good is good. The lead singer was Laverne, everybody loved Laverne. This track was from a period movie. I can recall the first time I heard the Andrew Sisters, it was in the early 60's and I was watching an Abbott and Costello movie, Buck Privates I believe, on T.V. Fun times.
Great song,isn't it? Love this song.Bette Midler did a cover of it years back.Look into boogie woogie piano and dance;I've seen older couples dance to boogie woogie,it's great.Grandma and Grandpa were teenagers and young people in their twenties,once upon a time,and a lot of them loved to get out there and party! Jive and swing are fun as well.Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers,? "Jumping Jive"
If you think that's good dancing, you should see people of that day boogie woogie on the dance floor! Now THEY'VE got some moves.
WW2 era, beginning of the mixture of jazz of the late 20's and start of the big band swing era. These ladies were very popular doing war time tours.
You talk about “moves “
You’ve GOT to see some serious “Swing “
Dancing. It’s pretty wild
With good dancers.
📻🙂
You should listen to Bette Midler's version, too. Love watching your vids. Side note, I tapped to Bette's version back in the 70's when it came out.
th-cam.com/video/M6p5XKFl_IY/w-d-xo.html
What’s crazy is how entertaining this is from ONE camera like one take, not like 50 camera angles and cuts.
You can definitely see what was the precursor to Rock and Roll. Groundbreaking music at the time.
This song always reminds me of my mother, who served in the Army during WWII. Miss her.
Wasn't that fun? You may want to find someone on TH-cam who plays boogie woogie piano, so you will understand this better. I am so glad to see younger people like you expanding their musical horizons. Many songs and movies were like this during World War II, to keep up the spirits of our military and also the folks at home.
I have something different for you to listen to, Barbara Streisand singing Piece of sky,it comes from the film Yentl. She also sings Papa can you hear me.
The Andrew Sisters went on USO tours. They went into war zones to play and sing for the American soldiers overseas during World War II
You will continue to grow as you expand your horizons...you might be inspired to read about the world in those times. I can see you growing. It is fun to watch. Learning is an adventure.
My late parents (would have been in their 90s now) were huge "swing" fans.
I'm glad to see young people watching the awesome music from the yester years.
