The Mills Brothers - Kings Of Harmony: R&B Hits & More 1942-52

The Mills Brothers were one of the most important and successful vocal groups in the history of popular music. Pioneers in bringing African-American music to wider mainstream global audiences, they were the first African-American artists to have their own network radio show, and had an incalculable influence on the development of doowop and the many vocal groups that would follow in their footsteps. Turning their talents to a range of genres, including Pop, R&B, Jazz, Blues, and Gospel, they notched up over 2000 recordings - three times the number of releases of a certain Elvis Presley - selling in excess of 50 million records over five decades. Celebrated for their velvet-smooth harmonies, and their signature vocal imitations of musical instruments, no other act had the versatility of The Mills Brothers. This sumptuous selection concentrates on their successes enjoyed in the U.S. R&B chart during the forties and fifties. As such, it features some of the brothers most famous and beloved releases including Paper Doll, Don’t Be A Baby, Baby, the Peggy Lee penned Manana (Is Soon Enough For Me), Daddy’s Little Girl and of course, their timeless and ultimately final visit to the charts, The Glow Worm. So cosy up in front of the fire and let their heavenly harmonies wash over you.
