Pride of Richardson, TX, 4-time International Champion The Richtones Chorus, directed by Dale Syverson and Ruth Ann Parker, bring us a finely-crafted, beautifully harmonic collection of 13 songs. Some favorites are "Yes Sir, That's My Baby," "Berkeley Square," "You're Nobody's Sweetheart Medley," "I'm Alone Because I Love You," Engelbert Humperdinck's "Evening Prayer," "Strike Up the Band/I've Got Rhythm" and "Man of La Mancha/Malaguena." Maureen McGovern, whose late father James was a barbershopper in his younger days, and from the age of 5 she used to sing parts with him and his quartet. She joins the chorus beautifully on Johnny Mercer/Hoagy Carmichael's classic "Skylark" and the Gershwins' "Our Love is Here to Stay." Powerful, moving and entertaining material from one of the best Sweet Adelines choruses! |
