On this day in 1941, The Andrews Sisters record “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” on Decca Records. The song, which became a classic World War II hit, was heard in the Abbott and Costello film Buck Privates. The Andrews Sisters were the most popular “girl group” of their time, selling millions of records and setting the stage for the “girl group era” of the mid-1960s, which spawned hundreds of all-women vocal groups including The Shirelles, The Shangri-las, The Crystals, and The Supremes.
