The Ames Brothers

From the back cover: Group singing, barbershop quartets, and male choruses have been around for a long time – mainly as a supplementary sound to featured soloists or as an instrument within a big band arrangement. Recent years have found the vocal group moving further and further into the spotlight of prominence and public admiration.

One of the most popular and talented groups that has enjoyed public and critical acclaim is the Ames Brothers. These four versatile young men from suburban Boston exhibit a professionalism and musical harmony that enables the group to function as though on voice and one guiding brain were producing the pleasant, harmonious results. 

Their musical training dates back to their high school days when professional vocal coaches tutored and encouraged their singing as did their athletic coaches encourage the joint sports efforts in which they all excelled.

After local engagements in Boston and throughout New England, a stint at the fabled Leon & Eddie's in New York City brought the boys to the attention of show business impresario's who pressed their career in an ever upward direction.

In 1950 the Ames brothers were the very first artists to record for Coral and with the release of "Rag Mop" national prominence and the success they so richly deserved immediately followed.

Subsequent years have found the Ames Brothers – Joe, Gene, Vic and Eddie, appearing at major night clubs and theaters throughout the country and as guest stars on the nation's top TV shoes. Their Coral recording of "rag Mop" was but the beginning of a long succession of hit records – such as – "Hawaiian War Chant" and "Tumbling Tumbleweeds">

Coral is proud to offer this long-play collection as testimony in sound to the versatile harmonies of one of today's greatest vocal groups.
