Perfect Harmony - Singing Groups of the 20th Century (Paperback)

2012: If you were to ask anyone under the age of 40 to identify the singing groups of the 20th Century -- the Mills Brothers, Boswell's or Andrews Sisters, and you may toss in the Pied Pipers, Modernaires and Ink Spots, you would undoubtedly earn a long, blank, questionable stare of wonderment. Needless to say, those unknowns each carved out a musical career of great stature over many years, reaching back a few generations during what was known to all as the Big Band or Swing Era, a time when the Great American Song-book was created, and developed from the1930's through 1970 and a trifle beyond. For those of you who were fortunate enough to have lived through a part of this era and had witnessed one or more of their performances on the stage, on film, radio and television, and for those of you who did not, please standby: you are ON THE AIR ...this is their story.
