During their career, the amazing trio recorded more than 1,800 songs and sold over 90 million records. Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Andrews Sisters began their music careers when they were still in their teens. In 1932, they began singing accompanied by the Larry Rich Orchestra. Together, they toured the Midwest and performed in vaudevilles. Another group of sisters, the Boswell Sisters, of New Orleans, influenced the Andrews Sisters' Dixieland style. Soon, the Andrews trio broadened their style to include ballads of the swing era, South American dance songs, boogie woogie and other novelty sounds. They had Patty as the lead soprano, Maxene as the second soprano and LaVerne completed the sound with a resonant contralto or bass. In 1937, they were discovered by Dave Kapp, who heard them over a taxi cab radio in 1937 during a live band remote, signed them to Decca Records. Levy who acted as their manager would later marry Maxene. The sisters' big break came in 1938 with Bei Mir Bist du Schoen, a Yiddish tune, which became the first million selling record for an all-female group. Between the late 1930s and the 1940s, the group was a frequent heard tune on the radio. Some of their songs included: Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, Rum and Coca Cola and Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree. The sisters even performed with other popular artists such as Bing Crosby, Les Paul, Burl Ives, Danny Kaye, Carmen Miranda, Guy Lombardo, Ernest Tubbs, and the Glenn Miller Orchestra. They also made 17 films such as In the Navy, Buck Privates and Follow the Boys, in which they usually portrayed themselves. Economic success followed the trio's popularity. In 1954, Patty left the group to try a solo career. A year later, Maxene followed her sister's steps. However, the separation did not last long. The sisters reunited in 1956 and made a pledge to stay together. In the following years, the trio's popularity kept strong as they continued to perform the old favorites and a few added new songs. # Rumors are flying That you've got me sighing That I'm in a crazy kind of a daze A lazy sort of a haze When I go walking I hear people talking They say our affair is not just a passing phase And they whisper 'bout the flowers You keep sending me by the dozen And they wonder 'bout the hours That you spend with me, it keeps them buzzin' Rumors are flying And I'm not denying That people are sure I'm falling in love with you 'Cause for a change, darling All the rumors are true ------ guitar solo ------ And they whisper all about the flowers The many little flowers you keep sending me by the dozen And they wonder all about the hours That you spend with your baby, what do you do-do-do That keeps 'em buzzin' all the time, all the time Rumors are flying And I'm not denying That people are sure I'm falling in love with you 'Cause for a change, darling All the rumors are true DISC DETAILS UK BRUNSWICK 03695 10" 78rpm (1946) SHELLAC CONDITION = EX- / VG+ TWO GREAT SIDES FROM THE ANDREWS SISTERS ONE ONLY AVAILABLE SO DON'T MISS IT - Buy NOW !!! 10" 78 RPM RECORDS NEED CAREFULLY PACKING, AND I CLAIM TO HAVE THE BEST PACKAGING IN THE WORLD FOR DISPATCHING THEM!!
