Heebie Jeebies
One of our favorites is “Heebie Jeebies ” recorded at Astoria, Queens in the summer of 1932. This film is the closest thing we have to how the Boswells actually performed in their stage shows: Connie on the bench with Martha, and Vet standing behind them with her hands on their shoulders.
Close Farmony
The very first appearance of the Boswell Sisters on film came in the short “Close Farmony ”. Martha plays a piano of straw and a goose joins in on the chorus, but the girls keep a straight face throughout. Give cow, give!
Rock and Roll
And who invented “Rock and Roll ”? While there may be debate there is no doubt that the Bozzies were the first to be filmed rockin’ and rollin’.
