I saw Patti in concert around 1989. He still sounded good.

"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" is widely considered one of the first songs in the style that after World War II would be known as rhythm and blues. Huh? BWBB could be called a lot of things, but R&B is not one of them.

My Uncle Jack played piano by ear.
One time in WW2, the Andrews Sisters showed up at his USO, but there was no band to accompany them. So Jack volunteered to play piano. They gave him some charts, but he couldn’t read music, so he just “winged it” for the entire show. It went great!
Now they are all gone...

WOW! She was still alive?
Great music. Too bad the sisters early on had falling outs.

In 1973, another artist did a cover version of “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” which became a hit. As a result, the Andrews Sisters’ original version got some airplay.

I used to love their appearances in so many of the Saturday afternoon movies I watched on TV as a kid. I never forgot them.

I know you won’t believe me because I’m a relatively young buck, but “what difference does it make!”, but I used to know all of Andrew’s sisters when they were little girls!
