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.
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!
The melody is slightly different than in the original. Here, the chromatic motive just goes downwards. Tizol/Ellington have the last note half a step above the second to last note in that sequence. It's tricky!
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!
I thought there were going to be lyrics! :)
I didn't know beatbox had been around for so long
How is this possible?

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

This group has a long outstanding reputation from many celebrities and music professionals. They were among the best during their time.
That’s old school Mills Brothers right here. Except someone is playing the piano. Or are they?
Incredibly impressive. The Mills Brothers music is awesome.
The suppressed smiles on all three of them is amusing!

They were singing notes, just not singing lyrics.
