The Real Group - Count Basie medley!

Russell Dawkins · « **on:** 15 Dec 2009, 07:35 am »

I was listening to this excellent streaming Christmas music on the primarily Acappella Radio website:
http://www.singers.com/radio/
when a group I had not heard of came on and BLEW me away with their version of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing (live)
I have never heard acappella bass even close to this accurate. I tried to find it on youtube and Amazon and although there were lots of songs by them, I couldn't find this one. I did however find this from a live concert in Korea in 2005, for all you Count Basie Orchestra lovers...

Anyone check out "The Sing-Off" yet?

I typically hate this type of music and did not want to like the barbershop housewives but I was digging it.
