The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

She spelled her first name “Connee” when she went solo. Not many people realized she needed to use a wheelchair. When she started out singing with her two sisters they used to carry her on stage.
What a rare video; thank you for posting it! This is a great old song from the 1920's!
Thank for posting this - Ms. Boswell must have been on for more than a minute 12 seconds. Or maybe she came back for another number. Dig deeper and post some more.
Maybe the first great female jazz singer. Ella Fitzgerald cited her as her own greatest influence. In any fair evaluation, the Boswell Sisters have to be co - credited as being among the dozen or so people who, over a twenty year period, invented jazz. If you want to hear stunning jazz singing, and just great harmony singing, period, listen to the Boswell Sisters. There's an interview on You Tube which is of Connee in 1963. She was a woman of great class and intelligence.
I thought Ryan Gosling invented Jazz.🤣
Every word you wrote is 100% true.
The Boswell Sisters recorded a song in 1934 called "Rock and Roll".
Great.
I LOVE THIS!!!! Post more please
Many thanks
Cool
Ed's other guests that night were singer/composer/author Kay Thompson, and juggler Bobby Winters.
This answers my question! I was wondering if she had zero mobility in her legs or if she simply couldn't support standing/walking etc. we can see her toes tapping here!
Many polio victims have varying degrees of disability, my father had it and was initially paralyzed but later he was able to walk with a limp. Her legs might have been able to move but the damage to the muscles made them not strong enough to support her weight.
Yeah but her voice carried them. She had the best voice of the three.
She certainly sang lead most often, but not always. I doubt any of the three, and they were all good, would agree with your judgment that Connie “carried them.” Everything I’ve read has convinced me that they definitely always thought of themselves as the Boswell Sisters, not Connie Boswell and her Sisters.
