Paty Andrews dead at 94
LOS ANGELES Patty Andrews, the last surviving member of the singing Andrews Sisters trio whose hits such as the rollicking "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B" and the poignant "I Can Dream, Can't I?" captured the home-front spirit of World War II, died Wednesday. She was 94. Andrews died of natural causes at her home in the Los Angeles suburb of Northridge, said family spokesman Alan Eichler in a statement.

Re: Paty Andrews dead at 94
It is fascinating how almost every aspect of American life (culture, industry, etc.) in WWII adapted to a war-based society. The film and music of the early '40s is very interesting.

Re: Paty Andrews dead at 94
Can't argue with 94...unless you're 93.

I love their music.

Re: Paty Andrews dead at 94
America has never been more united than during WWII, not before it or after it. They knew if the Allies lost the war the result would be unspeakable. No sacrifice would be too great to do one's part to win.

Re: Paty Andrews dead at 94
Oh this saddens me. I loved the Andrews Sisters. If I was a drinking woman(which I'm not) I would have a rum and coca cola in memory of Patty.... as well as Maxine and Laverne. R.I.P

Re: Paty Andrews dead at 94
I remember watching them on TV in the 50's. Everybody knew the Andrews Sisters. There aren't many left from her generation.
