I was a young freshman music student at Baylor in 1975 when the King's Singers stopped on tour. They were magnificent, and I was hugely impressed - and intimidated - when a member of the ensemble (I'm sorry to say I can't remember which one) stopped into my voice lesson that afternoon to chat with my teacher, the late, great John McFadden. Singing for these two brilliant performers was unforgettable, and a little frightening. Anyway, I've been a fan ever since.

I note that The King's Singers do perform a number of songs, mostly contemporary popular songs, with an accompaniment. But I do like them best when they're singing a cappella. Then the music relies solely on their own harmony and I can appreciate the beauty of that harmony, just as it is, undisguised -- and I can even appreciate the beauty of each voice. I don't know of any other group of singers I think are as excellent as these guys -- and even though the personnel has changed over the years, they've managed to keep up their high standard. The two counter-tenors constantly surprise me -- that they can sing so beautifully using their falsetto voices is amazing. I note that as of today, only three of the singers seen in this video are still singing -- the other three have moved on and three new singers have replaced them.
