Martha, Connie, and Vet perfected a mix of rhythm and harmony that would define Jazz vocal groups to come and influence The Andrews Sisters and dozens of other "Sister" acts, both Black and White, along with The Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, and Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, ( as well as current groups The Pfister Sisters and The Stolen Sweets.)

From New Orleans, they were classically trained and switched over to jazz as they grew up along with the form. First recorded in 1925, they went on to play vaudeville and ended up on radio in California. After being heard coast to coast on one of the first nationwide radio hookups, they became stars of radio in NYC headlining both their own programs, as well as working on shows with Bing Crosby and The Mills Brothers until the trio disbanded in 1936, mainly due to their marriages. They also appeared in many films of the time. (See youtube)

Connie Boswell, who later changed the spelling of her name to Connee, continued as a solo singer after the demise of the group, influencing singers like Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra. She did all this despite being unable to walk alone due to childhood polio and other back injuries.

"There is only one person I ever tried to sing like and that person was Connee Boswell."
Ella Fitzgerald, NBC News interview

"Connee Boswell is, without a doubt, the most widely imitated singer of all time."
Frank Sinatra

Shout Sister Shout
The Boswell Sisters Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you want your soul set free,
lift your voice and sing with me
(scat).

If the Devil grabs your hand,
Here's one thing that he can't stand,
(scat).

Walkin' down to the river, sing'n' a hallelujah song,
Oh Lord!
Up jumps the Devil before you, just keep ploddin' along!

Tell old Satan how you feel,
Get the Devil off your heel,
(scat).

Keep your spirit way up high,
Look up to the sky,
Stand up and shout "Hallelujah, oh-oh!
Hallelujah, oh-oh!".

If that old Devil should grab your hand,
Here's one thing that he can't stand,
Shout sister, shout sister, shout!
Oh Lord!
Shout!
Oh Lord!

(scat)
Oh shout, oh shout!
Oh come on down, just a little bit joy!
(scat)
Oh shout, oh sister shout!
(scat)

(scat)
Just tell old Satan how you feel,
Get that old Devil right off your heel!
Shout sister, shout sister, shout!
Oh Lord!

Shout!
Oh Lord!

Overall Meaning

The Boswell Sisters' song "Shout Sister, Shout" is a passionate and uplifting call for spiritual liberation from the devil's enslavement. The lyrics encourage listeners to sing out loud and release their souls from the grip of the devil. The key message is that the devil has no power over those who stand up to him with a triumphant spirit. The song's opening lines invite people to join in and sing, suggesting that vocal expression has soul-cleansing power. The scatting technique used in the song adds an element of joyful improvisation that underscores the message of spiritual freedom.

The narrative of the song revolves around walking to the river, a metaphorical journey towards spiritual cleansing. As people sing hallelujah and raise their voices, the devil appears to challenge them. The response to the devil's temptation is to keep moving forward, ignoring his presence and continuing to sing the praises of the Lord. The song urges listeners to declare their independence from anything that would try to hold them back and to stand up with a resounding shout of "Hallelujah!".

Overall, "Shout Sister, Shout" is an empowering and uplifting song about breaking the chains of the past and embracing a bright future. Its message of spiritual liberation resonates with people of all ages and backgrounds.

Bette Midler bought me here. She pays homage to this group in her new album, It's the Girls, and talked about the group on the Tonight Show as being an influence on her from an old 78 record she listened to as a child. Hopefully this will lead to a rediscovery of the Boswell Sisters, from which all other girl groups derive.

@AadJuijn

Hi Dennis, It's very good news that a famous lady like Bette Midler sings a Boswell song. Many people has never ever heard of the sisters (shame). It's amazing to notice that "culture barbarian" Jimmy Fallon never heard of the Boswells also. Bette said about the Boswells "one was in a wheelchair and she did the arrangements and she played the piano"... Connie was indeed in a wheelchair, but it was Martha who played the Piano... If we want to promote the Bozzies, let's do it as it is! Grtz, Aad

I think one of the differences between music of this era and today, it was varied. Musicians did all sorts of crazy stuff. Bands and singers looked for their unique sounds. And maybe the crude technology allowed the uniqueness to come through where today the technology, especially digital takes out the unique in favor of smoothing everything out to the same perfection which make much of today's music sound similar and a bit boring.

@esmeephillips5888

True, but the introduction of electrical recording in the mid-20s was a real game changer. Carefully restored, the sound on 78s can be as vivid as in any movie.

Movie soundtracks stimulated multitracking and allowed better balance- hear, for instance, how shrewdly Duke Ellington placed his men compared with old acoustic recordings by King Oliver and suchlike. By the mid-30s stereo was being tried out in films, and was fully developed by the time 'Fantasia' came out.

The Bozzies' recordings with Victor Young are exemplary in relative volume and the tasteful discretion of the accompaniment. Their voices were the lead instruments; Young knew how to underscore them, even though with promising young sidemen such as the Dorseys and Berigan he must have been tempted to let them rip.

Can anyone tell me what instrument was used to make the three notes of the chime-like sound at the very end of this song? I have heard this sound at the very end of a number of 1930s tunes, and I am curious to know what was used to produce it.

@brithgob1620

Sounds like a vibraphone to me.

@esmeephillips5888

@blank1620 The vibraphone was the hot instrument of the 1930s: part of the trend away from the minstrelly banjo, Vet Boswell's way into jazz. Bands veered towards new string sounds such as vibes, steel (and later, electric) guitar and the violin.

Joe Venuti played a hot fiddle on Bozzies' tracks; then came Django and Grappelli. In Duke Ellington's ensemble Fred Guy switched from banjo to guitar. Lionel Hampton made vibes the centerpiece of hit tunes, and by 1939 it was mainstream enough to figure in the great 'Begin the Beguine' tap duet at the end of 'Broadway Melody of 1940'.

In gospel-ly mood, Connie's voice is as eerily beautiful as Robert Johnson's.

@hoopjnky

11y↑1

Perhaps this is how it was arranged. Connie's PR, especially after '34. seems riddled with these kinds of attribution stories. But in interviews from the 50s and 60s she goes out of her way to correct the notion that she did most of the arranging. They used the chant in many radio shows, the film The Big Broadcast, and this recording. It evolved. So if Connie worked out the original arrangement, it was defintely modified by Vet and Martha.
