Any fans of acapella music here?

I just came across mp3s of a Jazz acapella group called Singers Unlimited. Their vocal arrangements are really one of a kind, and the songs are old standards ranging from the 50s to 80s.

I got introduced to acapella back in college where there are alot of student acapella groups. I like it quite a bit... when the group is good. Acapella is a very difficult thing to get right and could sound downright horrible if just one member is singing slightly too sharp or flat. Professional acapella groups are also quite hard to come by though.

 

Currently I only have 1 acapella CD. It from a Boston college group called the Amalgamates. They are really good.

Check out "The Persuasions - The persuasions sing the beatles" by the chesky label.

Lovely sounding barbershop quartet singing classic beatles songs acapella. Very very good recording and awesome vocals.

 

Also, "The Kings Singers" they have several albums. Some are acapella, some are with accompanying music.
