Singer; with sisters Helvetia ('Vet') and Martha (d '58), a vocal trio from New Orleans: the Boswell Sisters were highly regarded by musicians, and paved the way for the Andrews Sisters and other white girl groups.

One of the finest jazz singers of the 1930's, Connee Boswell (who was always cited by Ella Fitzgerald as her main early influence) originally rose to fame as a member of the Boswell Sisters, one of the premiere jazz vocal groups.
The three Boswell Sisters (with Martha on piano and Vet on violin) did have an opportunity to perform with the New Orleans Philharmonic but soon they gave up playing their instruments (except for Martha on piano) and chose to work on developing as a vocal group.
When Vet and Martha got married and decided to retire from singing in 1936, Connee (who also was married during the same period) officially launched her own solo career.

But if the Boswells hadn't helped establish a market for close harmony singing with a rhythmic thrust more than 70 years ago -- along with other pioneers like the Mills Brothers -- so-called jazz and later RandB and pop-rock vocalizing wouldn't have developed the way it did.
Martha (1908-1958), who plays piano on many of these sides, Vet, shortened from Helvetia (1909-1988), and Connie, later Connee (1907-1976), Boswell quickly went from performing in vaudeville houses to recording with some of the top studio jazzmen of the day.
The Boswells not only showed off tandem harmonies, that would influence later sister acts like The Andrews Sisters, not to mention groups from the Four Freshmen to the Beach Boys, but excelled in finessing tunes with frequent tempo, key and mood changes.

Their family, which moved to New Orleans in 1914, was musically rich, and as early as four years of age, all of the Boswell children had begun studying music: Connie on cello, Martha on piano and Vet on violin.
In the mid 1920s, while appearing locally in theaters and radio, the Boswell girls added singing to their musical arrangements, and much to the "concern" of their parents, they also imbued their style with the jazz influence of New Orleans.
