The Andrews Sisters – Accentuate The Positive

Few vocal groups left a legacy as enduring as The Andrews Sisters, whose tight harmonies, rhythmic precision and sheer exuberance made them one of the defining sounds of the swing era. Accentuate The Positive presents a wide‑ranging selection of their recordings, highlighting the versatility and sparkle that carried them from dance‑band favourites to international stardom.

The programme moves through an array of moods and styles: Latin‑tinged numbers like The Mambo Man, Say “Si Si” (Para Vigo Vay) and Malaguena sit alongside playful novelties such as Joseph! Joseph! and Old Don Juan. Romantic pieces like My Isle of Golden Dreams and Now That I’m In Love contrast with spirited showpieces including Begin the Beguine, Piccolo Pete, You Too, You Too and Money Is the Root of All Evil. The title track, Ac‑Cent‑Tchu‑Ate the Positive, captures the trio’s trademark optimism, while classics like Oh Johnny! Oh Johnny! What Did I Do?, Near You and The Blossoms on the Bough showcase their unmistakable blend at full shine.

With its mix of hits, rarities and stylistic variety, this collection offers a vivid snapshot of The Andrews Sisters at their best — dynamic, polished and endlessly engaging. For collectors and fans of vintage vocal harmony, it’s a joyful reminder of why their sound remains timeless.
