@RUSS30776 A typical Boswell item is their brilliant senses to change tempo during much of their songs! Strange enough is that speciality a point of critic from some of their criticasters that era. Grtz, Aad
@tenorbanjo4 Coming from New Orleans the Bozzies were of course very well known with the blues. And Conny with her great arranging skill was able to incorporate this slow 12 bar scheme into the up-tempo number, making it a unique Boswell Sisters number. They were and still are the very best. I've heard many trying to do what they did, but nobody even comes close. Aad, you're doing a great job saving these records for posterity.
@syncopeter Thanks Peter! The parents of the Boswells were middle class people and they had at that time black housekeepers. The three sisters sang often with these people and learned a lot from them! It was later critics thet also say that the sisters had a black soul. I guess they were very brilliant and indeed very lonely at the top of their sort of music...unsurpassed! Groeten, Aad
Thanks. Those where the days when you needed actual tallent to make it. Too bad those days, like these fine ladies, are gone forever.

With music like this, rather it be Jazz or swing. Groups like the Boswell sisters sure knew how to sing!

Very nice and curious arrangement, from 1:03 it sounds like "St. Louis Blues" !
Thank you for posting.
