princekermit<\/a> earlier today posted a stunningly awesome Christmas medley<\/a> of which I’d learned the first half while I was at<\/i> Carnegie Mellon. (Note, I didn’t say attending) <\/p>\n

It’s been amazingly expanded in his version. This got me searching on YouTube for other wonderful Acapella I adore.<\/p>\n

I thought I’d post a few that are (IMNSHO) musts.<\/p>\n

“Looking for an Echo” – The Persuasions<\/a><\/p>\n

“Riu Chiu” – The Monkees<\/a>
\nThat’s right. And I will always be indebted to lrstrobel<\/a> for this.<\/p>\n

Also thank to lrstrobel<\/a> this isn’t traditional Acapella but still amazing:
\n“Ave Maria” – Bobby McFerrin<\/a><\/p>\n

“Caravan of Love” – The Housemartins<\/a>
\nWhile we’re on a religious bend; I could talk for hours on this one. Listen for the chord ending:
\n“Now the children of the world can SEE. It’s a better place for us to BE”<\/p>\n

“The Longest Time” – Billy Joel<\/a><\/p>\n

“Under the Boardwalk” – True Image vs. Rockapella<\/a>
\nTrue Image loses this battle hands down.<\/p>\n

General Promo – The GrooveBarbers<\/a>
\nSean Altman’s group after Rockapella<\/p>\n

“The lion sleeps tonight” – The Tokens<\/a>
\nThis is the consummate (almost)acapella piece with a stunning CGI video.<\/p>\n

Wimoweh – Pete Seegar
\nthe true African chant that brought the tones of Lion to the US.<\/p>\n

<\/a>“Honest Work” – Todd Rundgren<\/a>
\nA rare live performance from Rundgren’s studio album “Acapella”. Phenomenal harmonies.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah…<\/p>\n

“Happy together” – The Nylons<\/a><\/p>\n

That’ll do for now.<\/p>\n
