The Boswell Sisters
|
The Boswell Sisters were a popular harmony singing trio, they were known for their experimentation and intricate harmonies. They became popular in New Orleans when they were in their early teens, and by the early 1920's the young sisters were performing at local vaudeville shows. After making their first record in 1925, the sisters toured with a vaudeville company until 1929.
They got their big break after arriving in New York in 1930. Between 1931 and 1933 they had a radio show on CBS, and they made numerous recordings on Brunswick Records. In 1932, The Boswell Sisters appeared in Max Fleischer's Screen Songs cartoon for When It's Sleepy Time Down South. In 1934 The Boswell Sisters appeared in the film Transatlantic Merry-Go-Round performing the song Rock And Roll - the song's title was one of the early uses of the phrase. |
