The Andrews Sisters

From 1934 to 1951, The Andrews Sisters recorded more than 400 songs, including hits such as “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” and “Rum and Coca Cola,” and sold almost 100 million records. Wink Martindale sat down with sisters Patty and Maxine to discuss how they got started and why breaking up was the best thing to happen to them.

In this interview from 1972, the sisters share captivating stories about what it was like traveling as a trio, working with Bing Crosby and what they would have done differently had they not been successful in music.
