Yes, they're technically older than Oldies, but still (40s). I personally find this fact about them hilarious....
Their big hit "Bei Mir Bist Du Schon" was a favorite song of the Nazis until it was discovered that the song's composers were Jewish.
The Andrews Sisters were a popular harmonizing singing group consisting of three sisters, 'Andrews, Patty', Maxene Andrews and Laverne Andrews. The trio was awarded 19 gold records representing sales of almost 100 million copies. They got their start in the depression-era early 1930s, and their first big hit, "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen" was recorded in 1937. Their other best-known hits included "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Nobody Else But Me)" and "Rum and Coca-Cola." With the entry of the United States into World War II, the sisters made frequent concert appearances at military bases, later traveling overseas to entertain the troops. Their career also included radio and television appearances.
