Connie has so much positive energy that is so much needed today... bring back the good ole days....where people work hard to make our lives better...
I just love that Louisiana accent! A real southern belle and she and her singing sisters are legends in my mind. I learn again in those days, how Americans faced adversity and worked and worked to prevail against them, as she did against polio. Cap off to her!
that she was able to handle the career she had is amazing , but polio or not , SHE WAS GREAT , and after all these years those recordings are still magnificent - she had a fabulous voice and knew what to do with it ! SPECTACULAR !
Connie was very positive and an inspiration! It must've been terrifying to be in bed paralysed with Polio like that.
What a highly inspiring woman !
I used to watch Lee Phillip when I was in child. Seeing this brings back so many memories.
A great and inspiring interview with this legendary performer. I just wish they had let her sing!
What an inspirational woman and ahead of her time too!
This is why vaccines are needed. Most people have no idea that things like polio once existed because it's been wiped out in the US by everyone having been vaccinated in some manner.
I love Connee. What an artist. She was so smart, wise, talented, & kind. I could listen to her talk all day! I totally agree with everything she said.
were are her sisters? i thought they were better togather.. songs like shout sisters shout,, or crazy people
very complex and beautiful. These gals are the best ever. this song brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you Alan Eichler!
I love her voice 😍
She is not lying about the food trick. Even now it is almost impossible to train a dog to hold food in their mouth without eating it AND give it back! I could tell just watching her rapport with the dog that she was a MASTER dog trainer on top of being one of recorded music's vocal pioneers. Much respect 💪🏾
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 74yo Aussie fan.
she was one of the greatest singers of the twentieth century !
Connee was the only sister of the three to continue her music career after the sisters split. The other two devoted themselves to being mothers. This is according to Wikipedia.
Thanks so much for uploading this! Big Connee and Boswell Sisters fan but I don't think I've ever seen this interview before.
Yay Connee and yay vaccines. And a big yay to you for sharing this. :)
(Edit: typo)
Came for Connee, stayed for vaccination info from 1963!
Connie and the Boswell sisters influenced and inspired Ella Fitzgerald to sing.
cool
Amazing that Connee and the dog have the same hairdresser
Is this lady named Lee Phillip, the same lady who was married to soap opera writer and producer William J. Bell of THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS fame?
Yes it is the one and the same!
Exactly. (Bill Bell, Jr., William J's father, lived in our building and was a friend of my parents in the 60's and early 70's.)
They're showing the wrong video today.
This America is dead and we will never see it again.
