 | What were the best vocal ensemble groups of the 50's and 60's? So I'm hunting music to fill my iPod. I greatly enjoy the vocal ensemble groups of the 50's and 60's. Here's what I have focused on so far, to give you an idea: Ray Coniff and the Singers Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians Mitch Miller and the Gang Lawrence Welk's various arrangements Anyone know of other groups like these? Your recommendations are most welcome!

| Time on my hands  | Re: What were the best vocal ensemble groups of the 50's and 60's? Well, of the kind of thing you're talking about... how about the Johnny Mann singers... The "King" family...they were a family based in Utah and always had TV specials on The Mike Curb congregation and while it's not quite in the same genre I love the Four Freshmen, the Four Lads, the Four Aces, the Lettermen. Hope that helps a bit!

And if you're interested in instrumental stuff... How about Percy Faith, Prez (?) Prado, Bert Kaempfert (sp?) all had hits on the pop charts in those days...
