4/18 So I go to the 1940 pop music section and the Andrew Sisters CDs are
everywhere. Why are they so particularly famous in the 40s?
\_ I don't like that lounge-y stuff --pld
\_ They're probably most accessible from the time. They weren't
necessarily "so famous" in the 40s. But because of some films
and TV connections, that's what we hear when someone brings up
the 40s. Give me Lena Horne or Ella any day over the Andrews.

\_ Photogenic, sang pop music, and conveyed images of "the girl
back home" to lots of GIs. Lots of movie/newsreel/magazine
exposure. |
