A Cappella Urban Sound Revisited

For the first time in over forty years, the street corner a cappella sound is back. Born on the banks of the Hudson River and cultivated along the corridor that stretches from Boston to Philadelphia, the vocal group sound is again off and running at high speed.

The team of Santiago & Dunham, a fifty-nine year old former singer and a thirty-eight-year-old record collector, has managed to spark international interest among record collectors, vocal group enthusiasts and lovers of the doo-wop scene with their new book, A Cappella Street Corner Vocal Groups.

It is the first book to document the bygone era of street corner singers. Although the book is primarily a discography of a cappella recordings that was made in the 1960s, it is sure to be a top seller in the oldies market and beyond.

Propelled with a vision of informing the public about the Golden Age of A Cappella, this book is a must for those who are interested in rock 'n roll, the preservation of the group R&B sound and the birth of the oldies market. Interest in the book has reached to Barcelona, Spain, London, England and Tokyo, Japan.

The legendary R&B vocalist Jerry Butler, formerly of the Impressions, says this about the book: “Take what you've got and make what you need, which is what the mantra of a cappella singing is all about."
