The Andrews Sisters

The Andrews Sisters (Patti, Maxene, and LaVerne) were a group of singing sisters who first came to national attention with their recordings and radio broadcasts in 1937. Songs popularized by the Andrews Sisters have become among the most iconic recordings of the World War II era, and several have been performed in Muppet and Henson productions. The sisters themselves have also been parodied.
