princekermit earlier today posted a stunningly awesome Christmas medley of which I’d learned the first half while I was at Carnegie Mellon. (Note, I didn’t say attending)
It’s been amazingly expanded in his version. This got me searching on YouTube for other wonderful Acapella I adore.
I thought I’d post a few that are (IMNSHO) musts.
“Looking for an Echo” – The Persuasions
“Riu Chiu” – The Monkees
That’s right. And I will always be indebted to lrstrobel for this.
Also thank to lrstrobel this isn’t traditional Acapella but still amazing:
“Ave Maria” – Bobby McFerrin
“Caravan of Love” – The Housemartins
While we’re on a religious bend; I could talk for hours on this one. Listen for the chord ending:
“Now the children of the world can SEE. It’s a better place for us to BE”
“The Longest Time” – Billy Joel
“Under the Boardwalk” – True Image vs. Rockapella
True Image loses this battle hands down.
General Promo – The GrooveBarbers
Sean Altman’s group after Rockapella
“The lion sleeps tonight” – The Tokens
This is the consummate (almost)acapella piece with a stunning CGI video.
Wimoweh – Pete Seegar
the true African chant that brought the tones of Lion to the US.
“Honest Work” – Todd Rundgren
A rare live performance from Rundgren’s studio album “Acapella”. Phenomenal harmonies.
Oh yeah…
That’ll do for now.
