The Andrews Sisters were an American close harmony singing group of the swing and boogie-woogie eras. The group consisted of three sisters: contralto LaVerne
Sophia(July 6, 1911 – May 8, 1967), soprano Maxene Anglyn(January 3, 1916 – October 21, 1995), and mezzo-soprano Patricia Marie "Patty"(February 16, 1918 – January 30,
2013). The sisters have sold an estimated 80 million records. Their 1941 hit
"Boogie Woogie
Bugle Boy" can be considered an early example of jump blues. Other
songs closely associated with the Andrews Sisters include their first major
hit, "Bei Mir Bist
Du Schön (Means That You're Grand)"
(1937), "Beer Barrel Polka(Roll Out
the Barrel)" (1939), "Beat Me
Daddy, Eight to the Bar" (1940), "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Anyone Else but
Me)" (1942), and "Rum and Coca Cola"
(1945), which helped introduce American audiences to calypso.
The Andrews Sisters' harmonies and songs are
still influential today, and have been copied and recorded by entertainers such
as Patti Page, Bette Midler, Christina Aguilera,
Pentatonix, and
others. The group was among the inaugural inductees to the Vocal Group
Hall of Fame upon its opening in 1998. Writing
for Bloomberg, Mark Schoifet said the sisters became the most popular female
vocal group of the first half of the 20th century. They are still widely
acclaimed today for their famous close harmonies. They were inducted into the
Minnesota Rock/Country Hall of Fame in May 2006.
He was a famous
trumpet man
From out Chicago way
He had a boogie style
That no one else could play
He was the top man at his craft
But then his number came up
And he was gone with the draft
He's in the army now
He's blowin' reveille
He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
They made him blow a
bugle
For his Uncle Sam
It really brought him down
Because he could not jam
The Captain seemed to understand
Because the next day the Cap'
Went out and drafted a band
And now the company jumps
When he plays reveille
He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
A-toot a-toot
A-toot diddle-ee-ada-toot
He blows it eight to the bar
In boogie rhythm
He can't blow a note
Unless the bass and guitar
Is playin' with 'im
He makes the company
jumps
When he plays reveille
He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
He was a
boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
And when he plays boogie-woogie bugle
He's was busy as a bzzy bee
And when he plays he makes the company jump
Eight to the bar
He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
Toot-toot-toot-toot
a-diddle-ee-ada-toot-diddle-ee-ada
Toot toot he blows it eight to the bar
He can't blow a note
If the bass and guitar
Isn't with 'im
A-and the company
jumps
When he plays reveille
He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
He puts the boys to
sleep
With boogie every night
And wakes them up the same way
In the early bright
They clap their hands and stamp their feet
Because they know how he plays
When someone gives him a beat
He really breaks it up
When he plays reveille
He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
dadada-adarada-dada,
dadada-adarada-dada
dadada-adarada-dada,
dadada-adarada-dada
A-and the company
jumps
When he plays reveille
He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B.
