[78-L] Andrews Sisters' last recordings

[Harold Aherne]

Some further information on the Andrews' later career, from John Sforza's "Swing It! The Andrews Sisters Story":

Their last Decca recording session as a team was on 11 November 1953 in Los Angeles: “My Love, the Blues and Me” and “There’s a Rainbow in the Valley”. Both were accompanied by Sonny Burke’s orchestra and issued on 29149.

Patty had two further sessions for Decca without her sisters: “Dissertation on the State of Bliss” with Bing Crosby (23 Dec 1954, issued on 29409); and “It’s Bigger Than Both of Us” with Jimmy Durante (21 Apr 1955, issued on 29537).

Between their time on Capitol and Dot, they recorded two singles for other companies: "I've Got to Pass Your House"/"One, Two, Three, Four" on Kapp 309X (1959) and "Sailor"/"Good Night and Good Dreaming" on English Decca 11316 (1961).

It would appear that "The Andrews Sisters: Great Performers" (released 1967) was the last to include Laverne. Sforza doesn't provide recording dates for the post-1955 selections, so I couldn't tell you whether they were chronologically the last sessions with her.
