Book Reviews of The Andrews Sisters: A Biography and Career Record

Book Review: Andrews Sisters Book - a jewel
Summary: 5 Stars

I read reviews of other Andrews Sisters books in several venues. None sounded good. I saw this book advertised in Classic Images/Films of the Golden Age, the definitive publications on famous entertainers of past times. I was delighted that Amazon had it or could get it.
The Greek sisters who had love/hate relationships with each other and were some of the best known singers of all times are enigmas. This book describes all their accomplishments, personalities, fights, foibles, and strengths. Other books were reviewed as just being lists of their professional products/songs. This book tells it all, including a little known fact about Maxine.
If you are a fan of this era, the Andrew Sisters, or just good writing, this is the book for you. It might seem a little pricey but it is huge. It is worth the price.

Summary of The Andrews Sisters: A Biography and Career Record

The Andrews Sisters, the legendary singing trio of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s are the most successful female singing group in history and were the world's top selling group until the Beatles arrived. Of the 605 songs they recorded, 113 charted. They also made 18 movies, appeared regularly on radio and television, and entertained three generations of GIs.

Based on extensive research, unpublished letters, and interviews with family, friends, and colleagues, this book documents not only the lives and work of the Andrews Sisters but also the popular culture spanned by their long careers. The book contains a complete discography of their released, unreleased, and solo recordings, including recording dates, record numbers, and accompaniment. Also included are a filmography and documentation of their radio and television appearances.
