The Andrews Sisters were an American close harmony singing group of the swing and boogie-woogie eras. The group consisted of three sisters: contralto LaVerne Sophia (July 6, 1911 – May 8, 1967), soprano Maxene Anglyn (January 3, 1916 – October 21, 1995), and mezzo-soprano Patricia Marie "Patty" (February 16, 1918 – January 30, 2013). The sisters have sold an estimated 80 million records. Their 1941 hit "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" can be considered an early example of jump blues. Other songs closely associated with the Andrews Sisters include their first major hit, "Bei Mir Bist Du Schön (Means That You're Grand)" (1937), "Beer Barrel Polka (Roll Out the Barrel)" (1939), "Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar" (1940), "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Anyone Else but Me)" (1942), and "Rum and Coca Cola" (1945), which helped introduce American audiences to calypso.

The Orkest Zonder Naam was a KRO radio orchestra in the 1950s, founded and conducted by Ger de Roos . The first performance took place in November 1946. A call to come up with a name generated thousands of responses, but in the end Orkest Zonder Naam was chosen as the official name.
Earlier, in 1932, De Roos had already founded Dance and Showband The Rascals , and in 1948 he founded farmers' chapel De Bietenbouwers , again for the KRO. He was also the compiler of the first hit parade in the Netherlands, the KRO hit parade .
The Orkest Zonder Naam collaborated with various vocalists, such as Jany Bron , Sonja Oosterman , Jenny Roda , Yvonne Oostveen and Henk Dorel . These sometimes changing vocalists were referred to as the De Marketentsters and De Musketiers . Occasionally Ger de Roos himself took care of a singing part. The Orchestra was very popular, but it only lasted until 1954.
