Mills Brothers "Caravan"

[@TheNo1BandDad]

Man alive! Talk about, "SMOOTH!" They invented it.

[@davidhopkins1786]

I've been listening to them for 60 years. I play their music today. They're a most amazing group. The harmony is unmatched.

[@belabelasko8223]

You have excellent taste.

[@manirain2136]

You have a great taste man , God bless you

[@BrianandChristine1210]

The Mills Brothers were awesome!

[@pianopappy]

"Caravan" was written by Juan Tizol, who played valve trombone in Duke Ellington's orchestra. Donald Mills imitated the solo trombone and Harry "played" trumpet.

[@davidwesley2525]

Pure Genius Mills Brothers using only Their Vocals as Musicial instruments. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@josephfahner6778]

I was playing this while my sister was listening and she didn't believe me when I tried to tell her that it was them actually singing and not musical intruments. The only way I guess I could convince her would be to show her this video!

[@ed4linda]

These guys were the greatest a cappella quarteteEVER!

[@jadezee6316]

THIS IS NOT A CAPPELLA...

[@mollymalone3632]

These men were amazing. Everybody go home, The Mills Brothers win.

[@FrancesWhite-v5t]

This group has a long outstanding reputation from many celebrities and music professionals. They were among the best during their time.

[@jadezee6316]

lol..they THE best of ALL time

[@mr.disney4740]

Sounds like a full orchestra! Love these guys..they are always amazing ❤

[@EwaKustra-n7k]

Niesamowicie utalentowani jestem pod wrażeniem z przyjemnością się tego slucha

[@LeeJcc]

This is quite priceless - and seeing is believing - the Mills Brothers are incredible!

[@jacobfranz1204]

Incredible is a vastly understated word for what they were. I am 71, and had the pleasure seeing them live on various TV shows like Ed Sullivan. Soon enough I will be able to see them and their brother and dad signing on that great eternal stage. I can't wait.

[@growlgrrl21]

I’m 63 & my dad and I loved listening to the Mills brothers since I was a little girl. Their beautiful harmonies were a joy to listen to, but these mouth music versions of songs enchanted me & still does. They were virtuosic geniuses. Dad & I used to try to imitate the instruments in our den like them, but obviously we couldn’t hold a candle to them. Fond memories- I sent this clip to my 92 year old dad to enjoy.

[@ImACatMeowMeow]

Juan Tizol from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 is the writer of this song who also played the trombone.

[@usaneebeilles9510]

Incredibly impressive. The Mills Brothers music is awesome.

[@nonarauch5909]

Thanks for posting this...how incredible! I saw them in 1974 perform here in Ft. Laud.. P.S. my late husband was a drummer... and his feature drum solo was to Caravan for many years. (I was thinking young trumpet players should practice their buzz with this song!

[@victorsixtythree]

Me before the video started: Oh, the jazz standard "Caravan" has words? Me after the video ended: Never mind. LOL.

[@timdufelmeier1350]

[@AndyMakesPlaylists]

It does have words, but they don't sing them. That's because the lyrics are totally uninspired and not worthy of the music, explaining why you have never heard them. Decades apart, Ella Fitzgerald and Tony Bennett tried to redeem the lyrics with their delivery, but few others have dared follow their example.

[@anandapandya1]

Nat King Cole has sung the words, accompanied,among others, by Juan Tizol who penned the tune.

[@CharlieisGordan-ov6jt]

@@AndyMakesPlaylists I believe Bobby Darin preformed it well.

[@asmith8092]

Class, talent, and pioneers....they knew how to swing! I wish I could have seen their show live!!

[@villicus1]

The Mills Brothers always bring a smile on my face

They were the first, if not mistaken to bring this style of improv to our ears.

[@Brad4Ellis]

My father was absolutely crazy about the MIlls Brothers. I remember seeing them on TV as a kid.

[@194919671982]

Incredible upload. Thank you so much. These guys had so much talent they had to do something really different to get it out. My family has been listening and singing along with these gents for decades.

[@kathypiazza7228]

They were my dad’s favourite he turned my husband on to them in the 1980’s. Had all their records, even 78’s. Sadly my mom about 10 years ago without checking with me or my siblings gave them to a charity shop. Dad passed in 1993, he was the big music lover, I guess after 10 or so years of dad gone these old records were just taking up space. I’d have made space. Oh well- thanks to KZbin I can listen to them again. Thanks for posting this!!

Didn’t sing a note and still brought the house down. And when they did sing it was just as beautiful,Now folks c’mon, this is ridiculous talent.

This is exquisite. I wondered if anyone did an acapella version after watching Whiplash.

[@eddypauly22]

Pay plucking attention kids because this is what we call 'talent' . No 'autotune' and no dreadlocks' and they could actually speak clear understandable english . They were popular for decades because they had talent and the audience knew it. They are polar opposite to much of what's being passed around today that has about as much lasting appeal as your last court date.

[@Cactar8]

what does a hairstyle have to do with music? smh

[@sue08401]

When they played the Jersey Shore my mom was the act between their sets.... She swears that is why I picked up the guitar instead of the piano.
