Google him. Many of these groups that formed in the 1950s were just learning harmony, some used vocal "tricks" to get people to listen to their work. And they had to gain fame the hard way. If you get a chance, listen to some of the original recordings. You'll hear them sing off key, slurring some words, etc. Some of it is awful, but they were trying to break out of a stereotype and a tradition of music. I've always been in awe of America's ability to spawn new musical "types", like Jazz, Country Western and Rock and Roll. But birth is a painful thing. And we Brits have done our part, for sure. Still doin' it. And when I was kid, I loved this stuff. Now it's painful to listen to how bad some of these groups really were. But we all burn a few dishes on the way to learning to cook well. > > Lou (list admin.) > > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message -- Adele Pentony-Graham Carterton Cemetery Clareville Researcher Carterton Researcher. and Featherston.
