I have loved The Charioteers since childhood, when I heard an old gospel 78 rpm by them called "A Beautiful Life." The song is unique because it gave the bass singer a chance to display his amazing low pipes. The Charioteers' bass man was dropping notes down through the cellar, lower than anybody. It was the most amazing record I had ever heard. Has anyone else ever heard the song?
I love this song -- have loved it since childhood -- an old spiritual -- but I used to just open the song book and sing it by myself with all my might!
*Really enjoyed especially since I can actually understand the lyrics. *Too often it is
difficult to understand the words/lyrics of songs when sung by church choirs "
school choirs. *WAY BACK...Fred Waring's "Chesterfieldsers Chorus" , AND
Mitch Miller's "Sing-A-Long" had EXCELLENT diction and pronunciation and the
words to songs were actually understand as opposed to the garbled lyrics/words
when sung by today's so called "vocalists". Think Sinatra, Bennett, Dinah Shore,
Kate Smith.
