Q: My mother tells me that “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” by Bette Midler was popular some time back. Could you tell me who made it popular? –Â Hortensia G., South Gate, Cal.
A: Bette, who considers herself a 50s freak,” dipped into the ’40s for this song which was introduced and made popular by the Andrews Sisters, a group of three who were actually sisters.
