YOUR HIT PARADE, 1941
#4 The Andrews Sisters: Ill Be With You in Apple Blossom Time They were LaVerne (1911-67), Maxene (1916-95) and Patty (1918-2013), of Greek and Norwegian descent from Minneapolis. Patty, the youngest and the lead singer, was only seven when the group was formed, and just 12 when they won first prize at a talent contest at the Orpheum Theater, where LaVerne played piano for silent films in exchange for free dancing lessons for herself and her sisters. Following the failure of their father's restaurant, the sisters went on the road to support the family.
They started their career as imitators of the Boswell Sisters. After singing with various dance bands and touring in vaudeville, they came to national attention with their recordings and radio broadcasts in 1937, most notably via Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen", a Yiddish tune, the lyrics of which the legendary Sammy Cahn translated into English. They followed this success with a string of best-selling records over the next two years and they became a household name by the Forties. They were the queens of the USO during the war.
This video is from Buck Privates, a film starring Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. Film historians consider the musical numbers a textbook case of propaganda.

I’m so sorry Sis.
*gentle hug*
I had to watch my Poppa lose control of all his faculties over the years..
I’m really not sure which one is harder to bear, you know?

YOUR HIT PARADE, 1941
#3 The Ink Spots: I Dont Want to Set the World on Fire These fellows were from Indianapolis: Orville Jones (1902-44), Ivory Watson (1909-69), William Kenny (1914-78), and Charlie Fuqua (1919-71). They had all sung in different groups and came together in 1936 at the Apollo Theater. Two years later they had their first hit marked with their unique instrumentation. Like the Drifters, they went through a number of singers over the years. They are considered the progenitors of doo-wop.

I do know. My mom died an agonizing death suffering with a brain tumor. I’ve seen both and both were hard to bear.
They both died in December...Christmas has never been the same....sigh
I know how you had to suffer with worry for your dear Poppa...
