"The Pfister Sisters, a popular tight-harmony vocal trio that has been entertaining New Orleanians since 1979,
turned in faithful renditions of the Boswell Sisters’ “Fare Thee Well, Annabelle” and “Everybody Loves My Baby,”
along with the Andrews Sisters’
“The Carioca.” But it was their stirring rendition of Randy Newman’s “Louisiana 1927” (sung with goosebump
intensity by original Pfister member Susie Malone Jenner, appearing in a rare reunion with the group, with vocal
backing on the chorus by the teenaged daughters of the three Pfisters) that provided the emotional highpoint of
their upbeat and thoroughly entertaining set.
