I love the weekends because I get to listen to big band music. The thing was the radio announcer inexplicably left out Bing Crosby when he announced the Andrew Sisters.

Why does everyone wear bow ties? We're neck ties not acceptable?

Bing Bing Bing Crosby!!!

Magnifico!!!

I have to say, I like this as well as modern music...I don't think it's fair to say that all music made today sucks, you should be more specific and say they you don't like modern pop or rap...then again, everyone has their own opinion ^.^

Is there a way of those us who love Bing to communicate, other than the comment section?

@Anubis454545 To be fair, Bing was, by many accounts, a cold man and a drunk whose wife and oldest sons all followed the same path.

@sunshine45986 perfectly said! Sadly, we have completely lost touch with life as it actually is, and we don't use "Love" as "life's ointment" anymore, and instead we bitch and moan about the "VERY SAME ISSUES OF LIFE", you know taking "lemons", that our older generations accepted and turned into, "lemonade",as they say! Well, we that are aware must cling to their ways of handling life, and be an example for the young inexperienced ones!

Bing Crosby is my favourite singer in the world! He has such a wonderful voice. Thank you Xxx

The talent in this video will NEVER be duplicated ..... The one only Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters priceless !!!

@Asiandude113 Dont fret :D There are still talents out there :D

@Anubis454545 I was just annoyed by a needlessly negative comment. Sorry if me taking offense to your offensive comment offended you.

@Anubis454545 Just appreciate where we are now in this world & stop nit-picking about it.

@Anubis454545 "Its amazing where we are now in this world... Mostly moraless, talentless, and tastless." My problem was with that outrageously ignorant comment-not this music, which I quite like.

@Anubis454545 Lynchings were still going on in the 1950s-as was segregation. And let's not forget the forced relocation and internment of over one-hundred thousand American citizens who happened to be of Japanese descent. Oh, and there was Operation Drop Kick, in which the government released millions of mosquitoes in low-income neighborhoods to test the spread of yellow and dengue fever, inflicting hundreds of residents with fevers, respiratory problems, stillbirths, encephalitis and typhoid...

This song is awesome

@Anubis454545 Moraless? Are you aware of what happened during the 1940s?

Thank you, karavadossij, for posting this PRECIOUS video! Love & peace!

Simply adore it.

@beyoncetyratina i found your comment LOOL =D

I love them all. I enjoyed this.

@zamusicza - 1947 I believe.

FANTASTIC SONG BY THE BEST!!!

fine song! Thanks for posting! Aloha from Hawaii!

Although we often look at the past through rose colored glasses and gloss over the struggles of yesteryear, in a lot of ways this truly was a much simpler time. This is the height of the era of the blue-collar worker, when a man could earn an honest days pay for an honest day's work, and not only support himself, but support his entire family on a single income, pay for a nice house, a fine automobile, and still afford to take his family on vacation every summer. I was born in the wrong year..

@LabakiTurbo It was a part of the Pan American movement in the 1940s to unite the Americas in the face of the war threat from abroad. Even in high school papers of the era you see stories and editorials about kids visiting from South American countries, language festivals and assemblies and the like. Artists such as Andy Russell and Tito Guizar toured a lot.

@LabakiTurbo It was probably because of the war AND Carmen Miranda!

the 60s and 70s.

@stucknad Around the same time men stopped being gentlemen.

I don't know why they used to talk so much about Brazil those days... There are thousands of songs and movies in the 40's about Brazil. Even Disney created a special Brazilian character and launched a movie in which Donald came to Rio. I think it's all because of the war. US finally got Brazil to their side, "fighting" as humanitary mission in Italy... I think it's all related...

a great comment by frank sinatra when asked what was left for him to do . he said . to be as good as Bing said it all really

they used to sing together and they were simply amazing!!!

can anyone sing better ?????????????

Wish someone would post the "you're telling me routine from this movie. Classic!

if you like to see how everything started with the movies watch *BIRTH OF CINEMA* in youtube and enjoy.

This is from The Road to Rio--they recorded many wonderful songs together.

i dunno i just liked bob crosby better

Do you want me to transcribe it?

The first song of the Andrews I ever heard was a parody by Morecombe&Wise with Leonard Rossiter. It was a version of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" which is a great song - and made for a very funny parody :) It's probably around on KZfaq- they were very good comediens after all :)

That's some really fine singing!

this is wonderful,i have had the track on cd for years but never imagined i would see it on film! god bless you!

Thank you for uploading this great video! Just wonderful

Jim, I am glad to see this on you tube, what great harmony.. my daughter loves the Andrews sisters, but boy are they hard to find on DVD. p.s my mother was in Belgium during the war and her brothers were in the resistance.. what stories I heard..

My favorite number of any they filmed. The Decca Record was a big hit. In an era when singers stood in front of the microphone period, the Andrews Sister's stage shows always involved intricate choreography and lots of comedies and fun asides.Much of what the Supremes later did in their performances was derived from Andrews Sisters pioneering.

I remembered the song but not the film it appeared in. Thanks for the posting and the memories!

Wonderful!

What a wonderful living encyclopaedia on the Andrews Sisters you are, Cavaraossij. I've always had a special love for the 1940s and the Andrews Sisters. Patty was kind enough to sign sheet music I posted on 3 separate occasions. I've read through all of these comments out of interest and would love to see that pic of you with them. My deepest sympathies to you over your wife and well wishes moving forward. US ex-pat in Britan here and loved the Glenn Miller Festival at Twinwood this year.

That would be great to see :)

Congratulations also, to Patty. They gave us so many priceless moments. Every blessing to her in her 90th year.

A truly great moment in entertainment. It would be grand to have those days back again.
