THE ANDREWS SISTERS - 1941 AND NOW OVER 80 YEARS LATER - THE AMERICAN SIRENS - THE JUMP BLUES ARE STILL SWINGIN'
Today, we honor the one and only Andrews Sisters who ushered in a style of music referred to as Jump Blues in the early forties. With their 1941 hit Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. Selling over 80 million records, this trio of tight harmony singers changed music forever.
So, what do we do when we want to listen to that kind of music today, with its tight harmonies and boogie woogie style? Well, a modern-day group that can swing and sing with the best of them is THE AMERICAN SIRENS.
To make a killer video to go along with a great tune American singer Geoff Castellucci joins the girls with an amazing bass voice that resonates from deep down. The video gives us a new take on a very old song - Mele Kalikimaka, which is Hawaiian for Merry Christmas. The song achieved fame when it was recorded and released by the one and only Bing Crosby with The Andrews Sister in 1951.
So, it's Thursday and the weekend is coming fast. Just sit back and listen to this great new/old tune and video featuring an elegant dream state by THE AMERICAN SIRENS & GEOFF CASTELLUCI as the dream comes and leaves - MELE KALIKIMAKA.
And for some remembrance of this classic song, enjoy Bing and The Andrews Sisters with a great animated video.
So - Aloha and Merry Christmas to You and Yours
