It is impossible to mention every group on this 2CD compilation,which acts almost like a history of the genre from the 1930sthrough to the close of the ’50s. Including the legendaryFlamingos, one of the all-time great vocal groups; or the FourAces, consistent hit-makers during the early ’50s; the MillsBrothers one of the earliest vocal units on display here and TheInk Spots, who first recorded in 1935, who were probably theBrothers’ biggest rivals during the ’30s and ’40s. Songs by theEverly Brothers, the Platters and the Chordettes make thiscollection a must-have for fans of the genre.
