![]() Other great tracks: "At My Front Door," "I Found A New Baby," "I Want You To Be My Girl." Charm's version of the Dell Vikings' 'The Sun' works both sides against the middle, with a potent bass laying pipe underneath a honeyed falsetto. Listen to 'Mint Julep,' for a gospel-influenced take on doo-wop on the other hand, 'Drip Drop' is Chubby Checker twistin' rock 'n roll. It is remarkable indeed the combination of vocal talent and range across such a variety of arrangements. ![]() Twenty songs, including seven previously unreleased, are included on this album, which was recorded in 1983.

Some of the arrangements, such as "I Can't Give You Anything But Love/L-O-V-E" and the "Jungle Book Medley," are a virtual comic revue, with patter, exaggerated phrasing and silly word play however, when it's time to get serious - read: sentimental - the Chorus knows how to straighten up and fly, well, right. Including the members of 1999 Quartet Champs Fred, whose Clay Hine is director of this band of barnyard barbershoppers, the Chorus placed third in Anaheim. The Big Chicken Chorus offers top entertainment value, with great songs and medleys such as "It's A Good Day," "Beer Barrel Polka" and "How Do I Get Out Of This Chicken Outfit" medley.

Other favorites among these 21 songs include a nice cover of " Sh-Boom," "Here Am I Broken Hearted, "Who's That Knocking, "Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me," a nice juicy "Get A Job," "Church Bells May Ring" and "Zing Went the Strings of my Heart." Nice, authentic stuff, some of which we are hearing for the first time. In the summer of '62 they recorded "Canadian Sunset" and "Mirror Mirror" for Lute Records while on a 7-week tour of the west coast. Originating from the Red Hook section of South Brooklyn, NY, The Arrogants' original five members were Frank Ayala, Sal Giarraffa, Augie Muizzo, Mike Munoz and Marcial Rivera, and they were discovered at a 1961 rehearsal at the neighborhood junior high school by a friend in the recording industry.

Consummate entertainers whether they are performing their award-winning show at a family concert, large scale music festival or corporate party, "Gold" is ample proof that the Allstars are still one of the best Doo Wop groups we've ever had the pleasure to hear. Their repertoire includes 5 decades of popular music: 40's Swing, 50's Rock and Roll, 60's and 70's R&B and 80's and 90's Pop. The four men and one woman of the Colorado-based 17th Avenue Allstars have been singing sweet Pop harmonies together for over a decade since their beginnings in Denver CO, and are no strangers to Harmony Sweepstakes audiences-they have won the Western Regional 3 times, and the whole enchilada, the National Championship, in 1993.
