Ain't this some fun music?! Sounds like they did back ground for some Betty Boop cartoons and others and well known for their stylish interpretations.

I always thought the Boswell Sisters were black, because they "talk like that". But now I actually feel that's just how "deep south drawl" sounds, not even really a black creation but more white in origin.

One of the Bozzies' best recordings.
