The big sister of the Andrews Sisters, LaVerne Sophia, was born July 6, 1911. She, Maxene and Patty brought their unique blend of tight harmonies to the universe in the 1930's-1940's, and are still influential today.
During World War II, they entertained troops all over the world, and were named the "Sweethearts of Armed Forces Radio Service".
After the death of their parents, the sisters became distant from each other, fought and finally broke up in 1953.
LaVerne passed away from cancer May 8, 1967.
Their first big hit was Bei Mir Bist Du Schon in 1937.
