“No matter how pop tastes have switched from boogie to ballads, sagebrush to sambas, waltzes and calypsos to be-bop, The Andrews Sisters have continued to be faves. In discs, they rank second only to Bing Crosby on the Decca lists.”

Billboard,
1946
“Less than a year ago, Patty LaVerne and Maxene Andrews were obscure vocalists
in an overcrowded entertainment world – but today – as if by magic, the name
Andrews Sisters is a household word throughout the nation.”
