They had a sophisticated harmony together and changing tempos which were way ahead of their time and made most songs of that era seem simple and bland. Their singing is very appealing today because they have stood the test of time.
Awesome clip and superb Video quality! I'm glad too see a few more actual videos of the Sister's work has showed up since I last checked many months ago.
Fantastic! This is the third early Boswells tune on film - unlike the other clips this is clearly a scene from a movie. Who is the s..t with the nasty comments?
That's bandleader Abe Lyman. Which is why Martha says, "If you want to hear some real bad harmony, why don't you listen to your own orchestra sometime?" He gets to play the heavy in that segment.
@harryoakley :This is from a short film called "Ramblin' 'Round Radio Row" which was shown in movie houses at the time, along with the newsreels and cartoons. Folks wanted to know what their favorite radio stars LOOKED like, so this was one way of providing a glimpse. This is a high-quality transfer, but there's a chunk missing in the middle, a scene identifying the "s..t" as Abe Lyman that also gives Connie and Harry (the Boswells' manager and Connie's future hubby) each a line. Great stuff!
@harryoakley It appears to be from a short called Rambling Round Radio Row #1. The sh_t in question must be Abe Lyman. Here's a synopsis from IMDB.com (trimmed for YT length):
Jerry Wald has to write about radio, visiting Sid Gary gives him the tip it might be more easy for him to write this article at the radio station. At the studio they listen to the Boswell Sister's rehearsal, which is interrupted by some not so friendly remarks by orchestra leader Abe Lyman, they listen at the door...
There used to be a full length clip where Connee spoke as well....wonder where that went :(
This one has that part edited out but still great clip

As always, their performance is spot on. Love it! (BTW, I've never seen a piano lid close and open so fast!)
