I love there music oh so much and knowing that all three are gone is so incredibly sad. (If anyone is interested, I wrote a small thing for The Disney Blog on her. <a href="http://thedisneyblog.com/2013/01/30/patty-andrews-passes-away-at-94/" target="_blank">http://thedisneyblog.com/2013/...y-at-94/</a> ) She had this comedy and wit in her that made the group even more wonderful than the great harmonies. I leave you with my favorite Andrews Sisters song, Gimme Some Skin, My Friend. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIFN13-a1iA&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...youtu.be</a> RIP Patty. Your music will live on forever.

No different than if the Beatles hooked up with Janis Joplin (different type acts, same popularity) or if Bieber and Gaga made records together (chances that record being any good YMMV, but again, same popularity). She was definitely a great singer, as well as were her sisters, and they had spats just like some of today's groups do. Because today's music doesn't move me, save for Adele, I've gone backwards and discovered Crosby, The Andrews Sisters, etc. Lots of great stuff made in the WWII era.
