The Boswell Sisters sing "Sentimental Gentleman from Georgia." This track is taken from Volume 12 of "William B. Williams: Make Believe Ballroom," a set of boxed LPs developed by Multilingua, Inc., and produced and distributed by American Express sometime in 1984.
The Boswell Sisters were a close harmony singing group, consisting of sisters Martha Boswell (June 9, 1905 - July 2, 1958), Connee Boswell (original name Connie) (December 3, 1907 - October 11, 1976), and Helvetia "Vet" Boswell (May 20, 1911 - November 12, 1988), noted for intricate harmonies and rhythmic experimentation. They attained national prominence in the USA in the 1930s.
William B. Williams (August 6, 1923 - August 3, 1986), was an American disc jockey on New York City radio station WNEW for over four decades. He hosted the popular program "Make Believe Ballroom." Williams is particularly noted for coining the title "Chairman of the Board" for Frank Sinatra.
How many of todays young pretenders could sound as artistically slick and polished as these brilliant ladies.
