Maxene (1918-95) was the assertive one, Patty (1920- ) was the fun-loving one and LaVerne (1915-67) was the serious one. Together they were known as The Andrews Sisters. Their first trip to a recording studio produced a hit, and from 1937 through the '40s they were queens of the radio and juke box. What they lacked in musical talent, they made up for in enthusiasm and showmanship. The girls frequently feuded and often did not speak to each other. They recorded 46 songs with Bing, several of which went gold. Initially, when Jack Kapp, Decca president, approached Bing to sing with the Sisters he said no. Kapp insisted, and after their first recording date Bing was hooked. "I'll record with them anytime they want. They can pick the material," Bing told Kapp. Here is a list of Bing's recordings with the Sisters:
