When Radio Ruled #111 – Connee Boswell Sings 1939

~ partnic ~ Leave a comment

Connee Boswell was one of the first white artists to integrate the jazz and swing experimentations of black New Orleans musicians into popular music.

The tempo, rhythm and pitch changes she and her sisters introduced to close harmony arrangements fused together Classical, Jazz, Swing, and Blues as never before.

The work she did on the radio and on the screen as well as behind the scenes as writer and arranger changed the sound of popular music and influenced directly or indirectly every vocalist since.

SONG LIST:

Jumpin’ Jive

Scatterbrain

Any Umbrellas?

Shuffle Off to Buffalo (with the Boswell Sisters)

Tumbling Tumbleweeds

Stop, it’s Wonderful

I Can’t Give You Anything But Love

Don’t Worry About Me

Begin the Beguinne

Oh, Johnny!

Ain’t Ya Comin’ Out?

Rancho Grande

I Didn’t Know What Time It Was
