Lovely song from the lovely Connee. She was one in a million- rare talent and bravery beyond what most of us will ever face.

One of a kind. An amazing career start to finish. She didn't let a tremendous personal disaster stop her, never lost her lustre. All jazz people I know deeply respect her talent and memory.

You can tell Ella Fitzgerald was inspired by her.
-
There was no one like Connie Boswell. She was a goddess of music! Such a talent.
-
Her voice is so warm and nostalgic.
-
Amazing to see the woman who inspired Ella Fitzgerald to sing!
-
no, it just appears that way in grayscale. she's wearing a shawl type thing on her shoulders, and is wearing a slip-like dress underneath. pretty nice dress, too!
-
Beautiful, just beautiful. Have to admit; what a voice and I am only 46.
-
Is that woman wearing an open front dress at 0:57?

@beforeourveryeyes I have to presume you are thanking the heavens and not me. I am just the bringer of Boswell joy.

Does anyone know who wrote the "Falling Star" words or music. Thanks

Leith Stevens is credited with the song. Syncopation, the film from which this scene comes, was his first movie score. He later worked portions of the music into the score for "American Rhapsody" which has been performed by many symphonies. The other piece current audiences may recognize from his prodigious accomplishments in film and television scoring is the theme from "Lost in Space."

Many thanks, hoopjnky. I share your admiration for the Boswells.
