Andrews Sisters

Ethel Merman

English · Music, Radio, Performing Arts

The Andrews Sisters bring their close-harmony singing to this radio appearance, with Ethel Merman also named in the program title. Their bright, tightly blended vocal style is at the heart of the listening experience, pairing lively rhythms with the distinctive sound of three voices singing as one.

As a radio variety performance, the program centers on music and featured performers rather than a continuing dramatic story. The Andrews Sisters’ energetic delivery and Merman’s unmistakable presence offer a meeting of popular vocal styles, with the broadcast format giving the songs and performances room to take focus.

The result is a spirited snapshot of mid-century radio entertainment, suited to listeners who enjoy classic vocal performances and the lively character of a musical variety program.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
