More Info:
If a smile was ever to make a noise, it would probably sound like The Andrews Sisters, for the happy musical chirpings of Patty, Maxine & LaVerne brought countless moments of joy to a war-torn world in the 1940s. The fast, brash harmonies and unique vocal syncopations of the trio were mostly framed within happy-themed, uplifting compositions which enabled the listener to travel to a happier place, far removed from the grim realities of a world war. "Melody Time" is not your typical Andrews Sisters "greatest hits" anthology for this release features 28 tracks never before available on compact disc. Herein lies some true gems, from ballads, big-band hits, Italian songs, country-western standards and even a classical piece. Appearances by guest artists are plentiful - country & western legend Red Foley joins the girls in some sessions in Nashville producing a soft reading of the hillbilly standard Bury Me Beneath the Willow; Brazilian fruit-laden songstress Carmen Miranda and more.
