America should build them a monument. Their songs songs helped pull America through the war. IMHO.

[@Thornus_______]

KirilG1 you think of that time period this is the first song that pops into your head

[@notesl5576]

True.

[@aaronrecordsgomez6636]

They also brought us joy and a warmth Christmas for every holiday along with Bing Crosby jingle Bells, oh how I love those jumpy songs. Merry Christmas to all and a prosperous 2021 without covid19 lets get rid of it!!!

[@aaronrecordsgomez6636]

Love these amazing sisters what a talent in those days.

[@flyboy13131]

I have always thought those sisters did more to lift morale and give hope to all of America during wartime than any other performers or celebrity did . With an honorable mention to Shirley Temple , for recognition to her for her contribution during the Great Depression . America depended on them to get us through those dark and trying times .

[@vincentm.7462]

I am in love with the fact that their live version is almost identical to a studio recording. That’s solid talent

[@PorcelainPlanetarium]

LOOK AT HOW PRETTY THEY ARE!! AND TALENTED!!

[@johnlanthier9047]

Patty is a magnet. I can't take my eyes off her. She is so expressive.

[@sheilamacdougal4874]

Sheer genius, Patty in particular. Her comic horn imitation, timing, theatrics, vocal control, pitch, places her right up there with the greatest entertainers ever.

[@boobieneedham8873]

Thinking of my mom today on what would've been her 92nd birthday... My mother was married just 3 weeks when her 1st husband Neil left to go overseas. He was a fighter pilot on a special mission and shot down & in Burma in March of 1945. This was 1 of their faves... Boy, did she ever love to dance!... God bless U Mom

[@warrenwalker520]

Boobie Needham I'm sorry😭

[@jwillis-14003]

Nice job bumming everyone out when they're here to listen to an iconic song.....

[@diananutt1517]

@@warrenwalker520 🍀💕 Saw the Andrews Sisters on What's My Line and went looking for their songs. @ jwillis1403 (or whatever) must be a total snowflake if he/she can't let the rest of us remember and mourn and celebrate a WW2 pair of newlyweds who were made to sacrifice their dreams to help save the world from evil. Boobie's Mom would have loved knowing we honored her sweetheart and now will remember them and the happy memories they made together. Hope that the rest of her mom's life was full of love and sweet rewards.💕💚💟🌿

[@theprofessor3684]

I wonder if they ever thought that almost 100 years later, their songs would *still* be listened to and enjoyed by us

[@kitty3863]

The best girl group of all time!!! Enunciation and harmonies stand the test of time!!!

[@pingpong2456]

kitty3863 but theyre a one hit wonder

[@AndreinneLawrence]

+Ping Pong you better buy a dictionary, because "one hit wonder" is someone who only has one famous song, which doesn't apply to the andrew sisters, they have several famous songs

[@AndreinneLawrence]

+Tide Bleach wow such pointless and undeserved hostility. buy a chill pill.

[@shanejb2121]

@Ping Pong Quite late to this ( only 5 yrs. LOL!) but certainly can't agree. They had many hits, not to mention their unparalleled dedication entertaining the troops both with live broadcasts, and oversees. Amazing women.

Dont forget Bing Crosbys Rhythmaires

You forgot the apple pie with cheddar cheese

[@barneyfife7520]

How talented these ladies were! Singing live - relaxed, like their walking down the street. Just perfect.

[@tennesseepossumpatrol3528]

The vocals are so tight flawless and together and its all effortless. And you can hear 1950s rock n roll being born in this music!

[@MikeyJMJ]

I never get tired of watching Patty's gestures throughout the song

[@lesterbronson2385]

It’s so sad how long ago this was. Time flies man. The Andrew Sisters will never die as long as their music is still listened to today.

[@lindaross783]

I'm not sad the war , the last WW is over ! No more!!

[@scotnick59]

Maxine was so pretty here.

[@alexf6886]

There's an alternate version of this film which features the raw footage. One reason apparently why they cut to the archive footage of soldiers is because someone either knocked the camera or there was a malfunction and the image went all wonky for a few moments. Nonetheless this is a remarkable bit of footage - there's not as much footage as you might think of performers of this era performing live and in such relatively pristine image and sound. Patty mentions V-discs plural so one can only hope more of their performances have survived the passage of time. The fact this is live and not lip-synched makes this slightly superior even to the Buck Privates performance.

[@nendouuu2443]

any idea where i could find the alternate video? i’ve been looking all over for it but can’t find any

[@HerbertFilby]

​@@nendouuu2443 Don't know if you saw this, might be what they were talking about: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpSyoKx-l5msZpo

[@marcy361]

Nearly 70 years on, this song is still perfection, as are the Andrews Sisters! Plus, in this live clip, their affection for eachother is so evident and endearing. Great clip!

[@mikeyates7931]

Dear , Andrews Sisters - Patti , Maxine and Lavern - as a lonely Man living in the covid-19 era , your music means as much to me as it did to the guys of your era - God Bless You ALL in Heaven above ❤️❤️❤️

[@constancemcdevitt3289]

They were wonderful. They also went on a lot of tours to entertain the troops. This is one of my favorite. Mom

[@W4ELU]

1:35 these girls put more emotion into their songs than any other classic artist I've seen so far

[@allisons3663]

They were just incredible. The greatest generation and there will never be another like it.

[@ew1usnr]

I heard this song for the first time when I was a kid in the mid-1970s. It made me a lifetime fan of the Andrews Sisters. They are great.

I was always sorry that I missed that era.

[@jeremynv89523]

It was the worst of times (WW2, racism, etc.) But at the same time, it was the best of times. (Too many good things to list).

[@oldmaine4314]

Times have changed. They made it look so easy ... no, not the singing, I referring to them being the greatest generation.

[@hebneh]

They certainly did make it look easy, but they practiced constantly to achieve their sound, for hours at a time.

[@dave_yeg8596]

just classic, i was born in the wrong time.

[@ailsadixon408]

I've never seen this before, it's wonderful

[@andrewscrosby1377]

Patty was so cute and you can yell she really really loved what she was doing and sang from the soul they all did. They always sound so perfect I've never ever seen artists so perfect in live performance. Now they have to lipsync at live shows because they need auto tune. Today's so called musicians could never ever dream of having so much talent and should be ashamed of themselves.

[@calliopibertos4020]

Great Greek-American singing sisters! Memory eternal La Verne- Sophia, Maxene-Anglyn and Patricia- Maria!

[@thoughtfinder]

Truely the greatest singers and performers of the 20th century.

Great music. Great people. Great era. I wish I was there in the Andrews Sisters' prime.

[@Clipper_Dames]

Patty was so expressive. Rest in paradise, ladies.

[@beyoncetyratina]

Ooh, I remember watching this for the first time (first time watching andrews sisters) and I just instantly fell in love with them. I couldn't stop listening to their music. And you could really tell that that the three of them really loved each other.

[@CateField]

Just fabulous! I love these harmonies... (and the hair!)

[@joeyracano1]

Oh, please! These gals had soul to spare!!!! Often imitated never matched.

[@billybrockell9536]

Loved them i m 54 but loved their music n still do they were one of the greatest singing trio s

[@nydeco1234]

Amazing talent. Grew up in the 60’s watching them in the Abbott and Costello movies. Always thought Patty should have had a big solo career in addition to the Andrew Sisters discography. Sad to hear they eventually squabbled over money and didn’t speak for years.

[@rebeccalee5674]

If the youth of today had music like this there wouldn’t be as much violence

Now that is singing! Their songs is really did help America positively through the war. And I still remember today

Wicked recording. great to see this. thanks for posting.

[@keifersthered753]

Thank you for sharing this.The Andrew Sisters was before my time.I was able to give up a bad drinking habit by playing video games,in particular,Fallout 3,Fallout new vegas and fallout 4......It worked....Been sober for almost two years now.These fallout games has many classic 40s/50s/60s soundtracks on them.This is where i discovered the Andrew Sisters with Danny Kaye singing Civilization.Been trying to find as many live recorded videos of them performing as i can.There isn't much out there but what true heros in their own rights were these celebrity performers who gave their energy and time entertaining the Brave troops back during WW2.I wish i could find them performing Civilization with Danny Kaye on film.For anyone out there that may read this,if you have trouble with drinking ,want to stop,but,have trouble putting down that metaphor beast,or breaking the habit...Try video games.It's a great way to get your mind off of drinking and the hurt and stress that leads one to do so-to drink.I mean,heck,if you drink and try and play a game you won't get very far into it without getting dizzy,seeing two tvs ( the dreaded ole double vision) or more...Games like fallout 3 and the other two i mentioned above have fun storys,action,and wonderful retro soundtracks.From the Andrew Sisters to Dean Martin these games not only gave me the push i needed to quit drinking,they gave me so much more classic music to love that i had never known of until now.Like Dean Martin's song on the new vegas game soundtrack,Ain't that a kick in the head-in my case-a Good kick in the head! Civilization,i'll stay right here! .....Again,Thank you for sharing this video and for your service standing up so that many like myself have freedoms today, JasonSeaman1...God Bless You!!!!!!
