In 1977 'It's All Wrong, But It's All Right' was released on a double A-sided single with 'Two Doors Down' on the other side. Both songs were originally on the album 'Here You Come Again' (1977). 'It's All Wrong, But It's All Right' was the side credited with reaching the top position in both the US and the Canadian country singles charts.

Answer: Van Halen

Answer: The Andrews Sisters

LaVerne, Maxene and Patty (Patricia) were the names of the Andrews Sisters, who were known for singing in close harmony and were especially popular during the swing and boogie-woogie eras of the late 1930s and the 1940s.
