Connee Boswell first gained fame as one of The Boswell Sisters--close harmony singers from New Orleans--during the Depression Era. After the act was disbanded, she went on to a solo career that lasted into the 1960s. She was unable to walk since the age of three, and spent much of her time performing for children and promoting The March of Dimes, and during WWII performed for wounded soldiers as well.

The Boswell Sisters were a highly influential, close harmony singing trio. Real sisters, they were three gifted musicians who emerged from the jazz movement in New Orleans in the early 1900s and became icons & pioneers in music & early radio & recording with influences that extend far beyond their own time. They took the idea of jazz and did it vocally, and they did it with such blending and precision that it has not been equaled since. Many giants of the swing era worked in their orchestras, and even stood and applauded them in honor of their musicianship at the end of a session--musicians such as Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Mannie Klein, Bunny Berigan, Joe Venuti & Eddie Lang to name a few. This store contains items related to their career & personal lives, including the book "The Boswell Legacy" by Titus & Boswell Minnerly, restored & original seen & never-before-seen images, original artifacts owned by the sisters themselves, and much more.
