Favorite Vocal Groups - Song Sharing and Discussion

[Tami]

This came it me when I came across a video from the Backstreet Boys, and now, some 20+ years later, realize ust how really good they were at harmonizing with each other.



Anyone else have a favorite?

[Tami]

Now that's a classic.

The Temptations have been going for 60 years, though only one founding member remains.

[babyblob]

Speaking of Backstreet Boys this may be their best song.

[Attila Kiss]

Always thought that nearly the whole "Can't Stop The Music" Soundtrack could be a great source material for an AOR/Melodic Metal cross-genre cover album.

[Attila Kiss]

The name is a play on The Three Tenors, consisting of opera singers Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, and Luciano Pavarotti.
In this case it's : Tim "Ripper" Owens (ex-JUDAS PRIEST, ex-ICED EARTH), Sean Peck (CAGE, DENNER/SHERMANN, DEATH DEALER) & Harry Conklin (JAG PANZER)

One of my favourite songs…

This is from 1975. It was a tough time for the Jackson Five. They were no longer cute little boys and had begun the process of leaving Motown. Further, middle brother Jermaine, who was the second lead singer and had decided to stay with Motown, was only rarely making appearances with the group. Here, brothers Marlon (dancing beside Michael) and Randy (on congas) lip sync Jermaine's part on The Carol Burnett Show. The song is still great though, and the choreography is fire.

Also, each brother has his likeness on the back of his shirt. Cuz ... 70s

That's actually very useful when you're sharing a washing machine, so you don't mix up the shirts.

[CaptCleghorn]

The Association. Bending down to give rainbows getting meaning after fifty years.

The Comedian Harmonists were an internationally famous, all-male German close harmony ensemble that performed between 1928 and 1934 as one of the most successful musical groups in Europe before World War II. T

The group's success continued into the early 1930s, but eventually ran into trouble with the Nazi regime: three of the group members – Frommermann, Collin, and Cycowski – were either Jewish or of Jewish descent, and Bootz had married a Jewish woman. The Nazis progressively made the group's professional life more difficult, initially banning pieces by Jewish composers, and finally prohibiting them from performing in public. The group's last concert in Germany was in Hanover on March 25, 1934, after which they sailed to the United States on SS Europa and gave several concerts. Fearing internment if they stayed abroad, however, they eventually returned home amid bitter internal disputes.

In the late 90s, a successful movie was done about the group.

I have once been invited to attend a concert in a church. The singers were all men, one of them being my egg merchant. They sang many diverse songs, not all religious. My favourite was the first one. Here it is, sung by the Orpheus group:
