Various ArtistsThe Groups Sing: From The Big Band Era And Beyond: Fifty plus Two Of The Greatest Hits
 
Ever since people began to recognise the concept of
different notes in music, there have been groups gathered together to sing.
Religious choirs, rural folk passing on traditional stories in musical form,
cowboys around the campfire, soldiers shouting words to match their marching
cadence, school kids chanting the latest popular melody - all using the power of
song to tell a story, create harmonious sounds, enjoy the camaraderie, or all of
the foregoing. Given the past norm of large families, no surprise that a lot of
singing groups formed around siblings, but with a marked separation of the sexes
- there were 'brother' groups and no shortage of 'sister' groups, but few mixed
ones. Once the record business got into its stride during the 20th-Century, the
singing group became a significant part of its offerings, and thus we are able
to enjoy the results for all the years to come - let's start here.
