Details: Amazon.caIt might not strike one listening to the music on this collection–smoothly crafted, perfectly harmonized pop often set to gently loping swing rhythms–that the Mills Brothers were actually outstanding pioneers of black music. Their close harmony work, based on the barbershop quartets of a previous era, were an innovation in ’30s popular music, arguably laying the groundwork for ’50s doo-wop and by extension even the music of the Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync (but don’t hold that against them!). This collection serves as a good introduction to the Mills Brothers’ legacy, serving up a dozen of their infectious hits, a few of which (« Lazy River, » « You Always Hurt the One You Love ») still stand among the definitive renditions of the classic American songbook. And what other band has had a seven-decade career (their sons, nephews, and grandsons now filling the ranks), scoring Top 40 hits (« Paper Doll » and « Cab Driver ») 46 years apart? –Jerry McCulleyProduct description20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: Best Of The Mills Brothers by The Mills BrothersThis product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media.
