The Mills Brothers - Their Original & Greatest Hits [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED]
One of the longest-reigning 'Pop' acts of the 20th Century, and a genuinely unique family group. The Mills Brothers were originally just as the name implies until an untimely death saw one brother substituted by their father. This Jasmine CD features all the original recordings of their top hits, amply showcasing not only their harmony singing skills but also their almost unique ability to imitate an entire range of musical instruments. That overworked adjective 'consummate' does truly apply to these great, perennial artists. In this great collection of recordings from the early years from 1931 to 1948 with most being from the 1930s, the only instrument used on their early recordings was a single guitar, but they used their voices to produce sounds of bass, a tuba and a trumpet. Any serious collector of The Mills Brothers should own this album.
