PHOTOS OF THE DAY: THE ANDREWS SISTERS

The Andrews Sisters were not just popular in the 1940s...they WERE popular music in the 1940s. The Andrews Sisters were a prolific and highly successful close harmony singing group of the swing and boogie-woogie eras, consisting of three actual sisters: LaVerne, Maxene and Patty – LaVerne Sophia, contralto and redhead (July 6, 1911 – May 8, 1967); Maxene Angelyn, soprano and brunette (January 3, 1916 – October 21, 1995); and Patricia Marie "Patty" Andrews, mezzo-soprano, lead singer, and blonde (born February 16, 1918). Their harmonies and songs are still influential today, and these unusual and different pictures of the Andrews Sisters showcase not only their talents but their beauty as well...
