The Andrews Sisters were most popular in the 1940s during World War 2 and known for their Jazz Swing sound. Their close harmonies are really impressive, even now. In this clip from 1941, they were in their 20s.

"Gimmie Some Skin My Friend," watch that gem by the Andrews Sisters...( a jive way of shaking hands in Harlem,) and amazing dance moves! Patty, Maxene...and LaVerne!

A solid 15 years before the birth of Rock and Roll, the free-wheeling intensity and beat of *"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"* was ahead of its time, and was no doubt loved and brought inspiration to the up-and-comers who later brought *revolution* to music in the late 1950's.

There is great music in every generation. The music of the 40s was amazingly expressive. The Andrew Sisters were one of my favorites of the era. Keep opening your horizons. There is so much to hear over the history of recorded music.

Buggel Boi? Laughed so hard I cried!🎺🎶🎙🎼🎺

They were the super group back in the day!!!! This was at a time when they were getting the morale of America up and of course to sell bonds and they were so freaking awesome I am so glad my grandma adopted me cause I got to listen to singers like them and rock and roll from the 70's and 80's!!!!!!!

Aw hell girl, one of my absolute favorite songs! I grew up with a daddy who played jazz and big band, and this was required listening, lol! And you really should look at the old films, those kids could dance, and it got wild! Michael Jackson got so many of his moves from people like Fred Astaire, Bob Fosse, and Gene Kelly. And I can't forget my man, James Cagney, the movie tough guy who was an amazing dancer.

Expanding your horizons is a beautiful thing to watch!! I've been listening to these sisters for years. Thank you and God bless!

My parents met on a base in England where my mother was a member of the Royal Air Force, and my dad served in the American Air Force. They married, had my brother in England, and my dad brought his young family back home. They called the women War Brides, and people treated them terribly. My mother told me that people would help her at stores until they heard her accent, then they would refuse to help her or check her out. She was even spat on a few times. It was terribly traumatic to a young woman who had lost her entire family during the war (father, mother, sister and brother) and had no one to return home to. Even after close to 20 years of marriage, the family treated her like an outsider. Decades later after most of the elder generation had died, including both of my parents, my aunt apologized to my siblings and me.

He was a trumpet player who got drafted. This was world war 2. So they also drafted the other band members so he could play the army bugle calls. To wake up. To go to bed. A bugle call for each thing the soldiers do. Now Company B is very boogie woogie because their bugle player plays so hot. There is nothing in this song about depression.

True. The Andrew Sister actually began as what is now called a "tribute group" or "tribute band" to the Boswell Sisters. One of the Boswell Sisters was crippled & was wheelchair bound, which limited them somewhat in the days before wheelchair ramps, etc. Some marketing people in the music industry thought wouldn't it be great, if we had The Boswell Sisters, but with the better flexibility in touring, & other things, such as the dance number in the video, that not having one member in a wheelchair would give us? The Andrew Sisters were not just influenced by the Boswell Sisters but were a copy and marketed themselves as such. The recording industry noticed them, got hold of them, and quietly disassociated The Andrew Sisters from being a copy of the Boswell Sisters and marketed them as their own group. Not to take away from The Andrew Sisters, as they turned out to be their own group and had a fabulous career. I don't know, how the Boswell Sisters felt about this, or if they had any ambition in music further, than what they'd already achieved, which was pretty impressive, considering, that they were from down south, and these daughters of a Norwegian and a Greek immigrant from up North, The Andrew Sisters, thought enough of the Boswell Sisters to form a tribute group in the days, when cultural regions of the country were much more defined, than nowadays.

They didn't need any auto tune. They had talent.

You can definitely see what was the precursor to Rock and Roll. Groundbreaking music at the time.

What’s crazy is how entertaining this is from ONE camera like one take, not like 50 camera angles and cuts.

Bette Midler's version just crushes it.

"Bugle" is pronounced "B-YOU-gul." It's a type of horn like a trumpet. The Army has distinctive tunes (bugle calls) on the bugle to tell the soldiers when to do things and what to do. "Revele" (REV-uh-lee) means "wake up." It's the Army's version of an alarm clock. There's another bugle call for "chow", and another, "taps" that means "go to sleep." There are other calls that used to be used in battle -- "charge," "retreat," etc. 1941 was the year Pearl Harbour in Hawaii was bombed by the Japanese. Hitler was invading and conquering countries in Europe and it was apparent that America was going to get involved in the European war against Hitler as well as war in the Pacific against the Japanese. Men were being drafted into the Army. Boogie Woogie was a style of music popular at the time which evolved out of jazz and ragtime. This was also a time of dances called Jitterbug, Lindy Hop, and other such dances which were very lively and involved the man lifting his partner through various moves. Bette Midler also did a version of this song. You might search youtube for Boogie Woogie, swing dancing, or jitterbug.

I love classics , country, 70s, oldies, rock, old country , soul, r and b , blues, Spanish ,gospel u name it

This music & singing brought hope & took everyone's mind off the war. When that music was heard the soldiers marched off to war literally dancing. My grandfather told me if it weren't for the songs the soldiers wouldn't have anything, except for letters from home.

Please do The 5th Dimension's "Aquarius"

I used to love that song Aquarious. When the moon is in the seventh house and jupiter aligns with mars and peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars.My mom had a big variety of music.lol

The 40’s were great, music and movies. Please don’t sound so ignorant, watch some film of those kids doing the jitter bug. Moves, better moves then kids today.

Thanks for your eclectic musical interests. This is an iconic song and the Andrews Sisters were equally iconic.

Andrews Sisters ruled their day for sure. And their moves were fluid. Bete Midler released this.

Please react to LP- Lost on you[Live Sessions] version, she is incredible! Really think it'll make an interesting reaction video 😁🔥

I love the Andrew sisters, they were the greatest. I listen to their music all time including big bands.

Part of "The Greatest Generation". God bless America! From an old 25year Army Retired veteran. ✌🏼🇺🇸🌎🌍🌏

Love the Andrew Sisters. One of my favorite old worn out cassettes.

girl, I am 62, and this was before my time, but I grew up with 40;s music... love it

I still have my mother's original 78rpm of this song! And think of how early that music video was -- 40 years before MTV !

Tears in my eyes to see the Joy wash across your face, Music is the Universe saying ''I Love You''

I was born 1949. The music was all ready changing into what we know as rock and roll, Elvis and many others on radios by then. My mom had some of these old records. I love when young listening to the big band music and of course this one song. It's a keeper and great to get you up and moving around. You showed the short version? Hm? did you? Oh well.

Love how she uses her voice as an instrument in a scat/beat-box style.

Love the Andrew Sisters. Love all the music from the 40's era.

Good pick!!! Delivers a smile! Dance moves...harmony.... loved it!!!

Hellzapoppin Lindy hop has old school moves that cannot be topped! Love old school swing and jazz.

It is good to see young people listen to these DIVAs who made the path for all after them.

Boogie Boogie BUGLE Boy. A bugle is like a trumpet without keys

"Big Band" Era had some fantastic artists!

I love the Andrew Sisters, they were so talented.
