The Andrews Sisters, who officially formed in 1937 as a Boswell Sisters tribute act, would become the most popular of the sister acts, riding tracks like "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," "Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree (With Anyone Else But Me) " and "Beer Barrel Polka (Roll Out The Barrel)" straight to the top of the charts.

Though women have no doubt sung together since the beginning of time, the formal concept of the girl group came sometime in the '20s or '30s, with the rise in popularity of tightly harmonizing family acts like the Boswell Sisters and the Hamilton Sisters (the latter of whom would become Three X Sisters). 20.Īlejandro Sanz Named Latin Recording Academy Person Of The Year Latin GRAMMY nominations will be revealed Sept.
