Summary of Swing It!: The Andrews Sisters Story

"In such affectionate books as Swing It!, the melody and memory linger on."-Times Literary Supplement

"Their brash, optimistic sound, tight harmonies, and sophisticated rhythms were part of the soundtrack of the World War II years. They sang together for more than three decades, recorded 600 songs, starred in their own radio show, and appeared in 17 movies; they made the top ten Billboard charts more often than Elvis or the Beatles and influenced the Supremes, the Pointer Sisters, Bette Midler, and The Manhattan Transfer. Sforza is admirably thorough in detailing the group's recording career."-Library Journal

"An invaluable record of the pop-music business before rock."-Seattle Times

"The first book about the Andrews Sisters, and Sforza has done a commendable job."-Choice
