Connie Boswell, born in New Orleans on December 3, 1907, became a popular performer as a member of the Boswell Sisters who had success on records, radio and films. When her sisters decided to retire, Connee continued as a solo performer. Her career flourished though the thirties and forties - she had numerous hit records, guested on the nation's top radio shows and in 1944 starred in her own radio show. By the early fifties her radio work was being superseded by TV engagements and she continued to make records many of which charted and are featured, along with others of the period, on this CD collection. Connee was at her best with a "jazzy" accompaniment and 'Singin' The Blues' is a good example with its lazy instrumental interlude, while the tempo is well "up" for 'It Made Me Happy When You Made Me Cry'. An oldie 'I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter' allows the listener a chance to hear Connee's wonderful Southern accent in a brief verbal moment at the beginning. Many of the recordings here are appearing on CD for the first time.
