Of/Bernard J. Klug".American jazz and pop singer Boswell (1907-1976), born Connie
Boswell, was paralyzed from the waist down as a child, but that didn't stop her from pursuing
a career as a singer. She and her sisters Helvetia (also known as Vet) and Martha began singing
professionally as the Boswell Sisters in New Orleans in the 1920s and, after honing their act
in vaudeville, caught fire in 1930. Known for tight harmonies and energetic vocals, they
recorded 20 Top 20 records and scored a No. 1 hit with 1935's The Object of My
Affection. The act broke up in 1936 when Martha and Helvetia married, leaving Connee to a
solo career. She became a favorite duet partner of Bing Crosby. The two together recorded
the chart-topping cover of Alexander's Ragtime Band with Eddie Cantor in 1938 and three
other Top 20 records. She continued recording into the 1950s and occasionally appeared in
film between the 1930s and 1950s, as well as in the TV series Pete Kelly's Blues (1959).
