Constance "Connee" Boswell (December 3, 1907 - October 11, 1976)
was an American female vocalist born in Kansas City, Missouri but raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. With her sisters, Martha and Helvetia "Vet" Boswell, she performed in the 1930's as The Boswell Sisters and became a highly influential singing group during this period via recordings and radio. Connee herself is widely considered one of the greatest jazz female vocalists and was a major influence on Ella Fitzgerald.
In 1936, Connee's sisters retired and Connee continued on as a solo artist (having also recorded solos during her years with the group).

Very groovy.

If you ever get a chance see the 1937 film "Artists and Models"-Ms Boswell teams up with Andre Kostelanetz on a gorgeous but completely forgotten song called "Whispers In The Dark"-It was nominated for the Academy Award that year but did not win and the only recorded version I own is on an old LP by Paul Weston

When I die, I want Connee to sing to me with her " heavenly " voice !

this is so lovely.

Wonderfully sung as no other ever did.
