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 MonkeesThat'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 HousemartinsWhile 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. RockapellaTrue Image loses this battle hands down.
General Promo - The GrooveBarbersSean Altman's group after Rockapella
"The lion sleeps tonight" - The TokensThis 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 RundgrenA rare live performance from Rundgren's studio album "Acapella". Phenomenal harmonies.
Oh yeah...
"Happy together" - The Nylons That'll do for now.
