mrsirwalter 28th Dec 2023		78 RPM The Boswell Sisters - Wha'd Ja Do To Me? / When I Take My Sugar To Tea (1931)	Review The Boswelll Sisters remain unequaled in pop music. This is one of the great two sided hits of all time. What'd Ja Do to Me displays all of the Boswell virtues and there were many - change of tempo, scat singing, rearrangement of song to suit varied rhythms and improvised melodic lines but most of all Vet, Martha and Connie's close harmonies. It's unique in that it starts fast and then gets slower and slower without picking up again at the end, which they tended to do. The flip, however, When I Take My Sugar to Tea, is the song that caused the Dorsey Brothers orchestra to stand and give them an enthusiastic ovation in the Brunswick recording studio at the end of the master take because it was the first time they'd ever heard anything like it - the Boswell harmony and arrangement, which was soon in great demand. This is ground zero for American pop music. The Bozzies took jazz and made it into ear candy without losing any of the elements of jazz. Don't miss it. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
