She was born in Hungary to professional musician parents who toured worldwide. Educated in Switzerland, she studied piano before joining her parents on tour as The Three Hugos. When World War II was declared, the family left England with the Boswell Circus. She married, and as Eve Boswell became a popular singing star in South Africa.
In 1949, she was heard by bandleader Geraldo (Gerald Bright), who persuaded her to return to the United Kingdom as a singer in his band, which was widely heard on BBC Radio. Boswell parted with Geraldo in 1952, and launched a solo career. Her first hit record came that year with "Sugar Bush", partly sung in Afrikaans. She appeared in the Royal Variety Performance and toured widely with comedian Derek Roy, before getting her own radio show in 1954.
Her major chart hit came with "Pickin' a Chicken", a South African tune with new words, which rose to No 9 on the UK Singles Chart at the start of 1956. Her first LP, Sugar and Spice, on which she sang 10 songs in nine different languages, followed later in the year. A continuous programme of radio work and tours followed, leading to more than one mental breakdown.
She faded from public view as public tastes for pop music changed through the late 1950s and 1960s, eventually returning to live in South Africa.

Eve Boswell was my singing teacher from 1989 -1994 in South Africa. She was a wonderful person, full of life and the most incredible stories. She had a wall filled with photos of herself with Queen Elizabeth, Lena Horne, Howard Keel, and dozens of others. Great lady. I listen to her fondly.

I was just 11 years old but remember this being played on the BBC Light programme......Beautiful
@miltonmoore5294
I was unfamiliar with
Eve Boswell. Gorgeous voice. I never knew there were lyrics for this beautiful tune, which I well recall from the "Medic" TV show. It was always hauntingingly melancholic for me as a youth. Not so now, hearing it with the lyrics,
supplied by Edward Heyman.
@veerasakkasemsuwan9715
Very very beautiful song
@archiemorrison6429
memories come flooding back
@theviolinoob
beautiful
@BRG1942
Felicia Sanders had the hit version in the USA. This is a very nice version -- not that I don't like Felicia's, but it shows what we were missing this side of the ocean!
@CoralieSpencer1
lovely , i like the pioano one tho .cyril stapleton
@InnocentBulldogPuppy-tp3wj
In like General Flynn
@cycoklr
I think Eve's vocal range fits the melodic key of this tune perfectly -- better than Felicia Sanders or Linda Scott. And The Shadows did a better job than The Ventures on the instrumental version but Mantovani just blew everyone away. Just an opinion.
