Can someone please help me with this: the picture at 1:24 is a still-frame from a video. In it the sisters are singing a capella (I don't remember what song) in front of what for some reason I'm remembering as a group of senators that were all clapping off-time behind them. This video was/probably still is on youtube somewhere, but was named in such a way that it didn't include Boswell in the title or tags at all. I found it through a post on the bozzies (dot) org forums. It was brilliant!
The Boswells, unlike the Andrews Sisters, were classically trained and could read music. The Boswells had a brother that died in the Influenza epidemic of 1918 who was on his career as a concert violinist.
It's Written All Over Your Face and Lullaby of Broadway are probably my favorites but it's hard choosing. This one and most others are all fabulous. They far outshine the Andrews Sisters. The Pickens Sister of the same time period are very good from what I've heard - higher voices like Andrews.
I never heard of them until you posted them. They are very good and you are right they set the standard for all to come. However, I think the Andrew sisters did match them.
Well I am glad to have introduced you to them. No doubt the Andrew Sisters were good and most likely influenced by the Boswells. Have you look on YT for more of their songs? There are quite a few. I will post of few more soon, some of these are re-posts due to better sound quality.

@CrazeryMedia - That is the sisters singing in front of a group of U.S. Senators. It's at PanicIsOn_Boswell Sisters.mov

Perfection. When it comes to the Boswells, there's not another drink like it. How did the bands keep up with them? And Connie makes it seem easy.

The Andrew Sisters were cool. But the Boswells had a lot more soul.

No other female trio could match these ladies. They set the standard for all the others to come.
