Patty Andrews

American mezzo-soprano singer, the youngest of the three siblings known as The Andrews Sisters, a close harmony singing group of the swing and boogie-woogie eras. Throughout their long career, the sisters sold well over 75 million records. Their 1941 hit "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" can be considered an early example of rhythm and blues or jump blues.

Patty Andrews married agent Marty Melcher in 1947 and left him in 1949, when he pursued a romantic relationship with Doris Day. She then married Walter Wechsler, the trio's pianist, in 1951. Patty died of natural causes at her home in Northridge, California, on 30 January 2013 at the age of 94. Wechsler, her husband of nearly 60 years, died on 26 August 2010 at the age of 88.
