"What about Connie Boswell?"

You're right, another great, so much so Ella Fitzgerald always cited Connee Boswell as her main influence.

During WWII she dedicated her time to visiting military hospitals and showing disabled soldiers that they could still live a full and successful life.

Bob Hope (center) joined ventriloquist Edgar Bergen, his sidekick Charlie McCarthy with singer Connie Boswell for the 1939 American Red Cross membership campaign on radio.
