Talk:The Boswell Sisters

Cover
The caption of the album cover image previously had the comment "Most of their album covers are similar". Um, no. Perhaps the ones you've seen are. -- Infrogmation 05:12, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)


 * Aren't all album covers kind of similar, though? Especially when compared to, say, a Venezualian mollusc? Maikel 21:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Who's who on the album cover, please? (PS: check out those noses!) Maikel 21:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it dated from a time where people who listened to MUSIC were concerned about how the MUSIC sounded, not whether the performers had sufficient nose surgery to fit an imaginary standard of "beauty."--Happydog (talk) 14:50, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I am disheartened that this subject is "deemed" low importance. Huh? And what in the world is all this stuff on here about their influence or not on rock n' roll? What in the WORLD does that have to do with the subject? Very shoddy work here... BJ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.179.225.54 (talk) 17:22, 11 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I think one could argue that no single band in the entire history of popular music has had such an influence as the Boswells They revolutionised what girl groups could do and there is no girl group since that doesn't have an echo of the Boswells. But as for that cover, 1949 is nonsense.  That image is from about 1929.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.149.144.4 (talk) 10:27, 24 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Absurdly late "circa" date fixed. "Album covers"??? One 78 rpm record is not an "album", and nearly all came in stock company sleeves, not picture sleeves. AVarchaeologist (talk) 20:18, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Questions to be addressed
Not directly addressed in the text:
 * Were the Boswells considered to be white or black (or some other category), in their time?
 * What was Connie Boswell's "disability", and was it a result of her December 1928 accident? Acwilson9 (talk) 19:43, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Just came here to ask about that "disability". According to her own article, she used a wheelchair but this is nowhere mentioned in this article. I am not sure where to put it in. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 12:35, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
