In the 70's Connie Boswell did Viva(?) paper towel commercials, As a child I used to imitate her, as she came on screen and said in a nasal voice, "hi, I'm Connie Boswell". something about that made me laugh like a hyena. Still don't know why til this day.

[wickirsinn]

My favorite...

[Juliaflo]

This year marks 35 years since Connee started singing for the angels.

All of them are singing for the angels now.

It was a session band billed as "The New Yorkers" consisting of Manny Klein (tp), Tommy Dorsey (tb), Jimmy Dorsey (cl, as) Arthur Schutt (p), the fabulous Eddie Lang (g), Joe Tarto (sb) and Stan King (d).

[kors189]

wow, love it, even the crackle sound

[sarelle500gr]

damn they are too beautiful

[felixnoir]

The Andrew Sisters started as a Boswells cover band.  The Boswells were arguably the first pop group in a modern sense. Every girl group ever has a trace of the Boswells. Also, they were the only girl group until the Bangles (1981 - so that is sixty years) to write their own arrangements and play all their own instruments. Ella Fitzgerald patterened her style after Connee Boswell.

[felixnoir]

Also, they were trained musicians from the age of about 8. Connee was one of the best arrangers that pop/jazz has ever had, and she learnt more from personal friend Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby. And Martha was a concert pianist who could plaay anything ever written for the piano.

[felixnoir]

You think these chicks were innocent? They were hanging around in Storyville when Vet was 16. You better bet they drank their share of bootleg liquor and smoked their share of dope in the smokeeasies too! The life of a a musician in vuadeville was just as edgy then as now, if not more. Look at them more carefully,

[alinytch]

Always the RIGHT time to listen to eternally great music ! Amazing amuzement

[CQ20Queen]

Simply the best. I too was born at the wrong musical time.

[blueyedgoddezz]

Boswell sisters were natural beauties, modest make-up, thick hair, stress-free faces, relaxed disposition, 'n natural talent, raw gift.. those were d times..wholesome entertainment..hi-tech electronic gadgets were unheard of..we must preserve this kind of classic, captivating entertainment. Perfect job, mrhokum!

[stringfellow573]

@classymania I agree completely. I thought the Andrew Sisters were good. These Boswell Sisters are just as good.

[meredith218461]

@classymania I'm with you all the way here.

HARMONY

[Watchthetube2140]

What about the hair...will no one say anything about that hair, and the little curl each one has...and how about those corsages and the old VOX amp in the background and that this is the way three angels sound when they harmonize!

[apochalypse]

The Boswell Sisters - Connee (L), Vet (C-Standing) and Martha (R - piano), began their careers in New Orleans. Connee was paralyzed from a childhood accident (or had polio according to the comments of several viewers) and always had to perform seated.

[yaoibanshee]

Connie, vet, and Martha

[otvirani]

Incredible!

[Fly0High]

They don't make'em like that anymore. It's a shame :(

[joeypolanski]

I got 'em too!

[Thealleygators]

I love those perfectly matched voices.

[LTcrew]

Thank you hoopjnky for taking the time to respond to my posting. Much appreciated.

[Corrie121]

Does anyone have a clip with the Boswell Sisters singing "We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye"? They were marvellous.

[hoopjnky]

As far as I know they were never filmed performing that rather surreal song.

[rkg77]

Thank you so much! I love the Boswell Sisters and have been listening for years, but this is the first film I ever have seen of them! I highly recommend all their records.
