Description:� Die Harptones waren eine der beliebtesten und bewundertsten Vokalgruppen, die in den frühen 1950er Jahren in New York entstanden. � Bekannt für ihre ausgefeilten Harmonien mit der Lead-Tenorstimme von Willie Winfield. � Preiswertes 2-CD-Set mit 54 Titeln, bestehend aus A- und B-Seiten der Singles von Bruce, Essex, X, Paradise, Andrea, Rama, Gee, Tip Top, Domme, Warwick, Coed, Companion und Cub. - .. COLLECTION 1953-61
The Harptones were one of the many doowop vocal groups to emerge from New York City in the early '50s, and although they did not have an illustrious chart career, they were one of the most consistently admired and popular groups, both with the contemporary market of the times and with doowop fans and critics in more recent years. With the distinctive tenor voice of Willie Winfield almost always to the fore, they produced a string of polished and classy performances on record through the 1950s, hampered in their search for chart success by recording for a variety of small and under-resourced record companies. This great-value 54-track 2-CD set comprises A and B sides of singles for the Bruce, Essex, X, Paradise, Andrea, Rama, Gee, Tip Top, Domme, Warwick, Coed, Companion and Cub labels during this era, and features their best-known recordings such as "A Sunday Kind of Love", "Why Should I Love You?", "Life is But a Dream", "The Shrine of St. Cecilia", and "What Will I Tell My Heart". As well as their own recordings it includes performances with Bunny Paul, The Woodside Sisters, Mabel King, Raoul Cita Chorus, Ruth McFadden, Carol Blades and Valli Hilton, on which they were either named featured artists or backing vocalists. It's a worthy showcase for one of doowop's most stylish exponents.
"The Harptones Collection 1953-61" is a comprehensive CD compilation that brings together the finest recordings of The Harptones, one of the most influential doo-wop vocal groups from New York. Spanning their golden years between 1953 and 1961, this collection features classic tracks such as "A Sunday Kind of Love," "Life Is But a Dream," and "My Memories of You." Renowned for their smooth harmonies and emotive lead vocals by Willie Winfield, The Harptones left an indelible mark on R&B history despite never achieving major chart success. Their music has inspired generations of artists in soul and pop genres. This release comes from Acrobat, a respected label known for its high-quality reissues and dedication to preserving musical heritage across jazz, blues, rock 'n' roll, and more.
