I know many of you don't have the passion for a GOOD acapella group that I do, but I felt like doing it anyway. After all, it IS music!

Best I can tell they're from the University of Buffalo. They're not the BEST I've ever heard, but do a pretty good job on this song. The one that caught my ear is the short girl on the far right.

...... Barber Shop Quartets welcome!

Tanx Larry. It's indeed a very interesting topic and also very underrated.
Being a vocalist for more then twenty years and a sucker for vintage rock'n'roll/rockabilly and a fan of the 50's sound i truly apreciate Acapella vocals expressions and of course Doo-Wop. soundt/thumbup.gif

Fantastic. She also covers "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. Another great band is Miranda Sex Garden. Thier first album, which I picked up today used for a whopping $2, "Madra", is all madrigals and traditional 1800's (or 18th century?) songs, and is pure a Capella. Later efforts were not as pure- mating the three vocalists with industrial and experimental sound. Another band that is good, though I can't claim a favorite, is the "nylons". Glad to mail it to you if you send me your address (I think I still have it). It is on vinyl. -------------------- What you got back home, lil' sister, to play yer fuzzy warbles on?
