So let me get this straight- Chanticleer not only sings phenomenal choral, pop, Christmas, and foreign music- they can also imitate a wind ensemble, and crack the crowd up better than most comedians. Okay.
..... I am SO SORRY, I know this isn't 'lady-like', at my age of 57yr.s..... BUT.... TODAY was the first time I ever saw this, and it was just so F##KIN' AWESOME!!! that I am CONVINCED I will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER see anything to top it!!!!!!! I was raised on A-L-L cultures and types of music and performances....... But THIS ONE had me LITERALLY HYPNOTIZED in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE. I wasn't even AWARE of my CONSTANT PAIN that I live with from a disease of my spine, incurable, and now has me in a wheelchair forever. GOD BLESS EVERY ONE THESE MEN, He already has in their Wonderous voices, And KEEP THEM IN EVERY WAY!! ...... What a 'Gift' I received today!!! ........... Peace! To All, ... Mesha

When the days are sad and long I just keep wandering on To the place I hear a call Because the one I love is there; Back to the fields of cotton To hear a Creole love song
By the way: Harry Fromermann, who made the arrangement, was founder and leader of the "mother of all boy groups", the famous Comedian Harmonists You can listen to it here: w3w.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dOAp3cI8-3k.html
Well done fellas... heard you guys for the 1st time on Prairie Home Companion and loved it! Hope to see you guys in person some day. Such beautiful voices!
I'm unsure if this will be seen, but although I am not a countertenor, I have a very powerful "countertenor-like" falsetto range of voice (or so I have been told) and I'm curious if I could ask any of your countertenors... I have a lower falsetto area and then a much higher range of voice (around high C and such.) I want to be able to use it, but I cannot produce words for some reason in that part of my voice. Consonants kill it. Any advice would be wondrous. :)
Although I'm not an expert (I don't have a degree) yet, I do sing countertenor here at college. It is definitely normal when going to the high soprano f-g-a range to start having difficulty enunciating consonants. Heck, it's hard getting any other vowel other than "Ahhh" sound without straining. And that's the key thing you should focus on if you use that higher register. Don't strain, use proper support and modify your vowel and consonants accordingly.
EmbraceTheInevitable .... Hello, Sweet Soul!! I wanted to write and thank you for taking time out of your day to stop and read, then even 'thumb-up' my naughty comment regarding this WONDERFUL rendition of this song. You are very much appreciated. Are these guys awesome, or what ?!?! I just love every one of them. 'Finally broke down and bought some of their albums a good while ago .... they did NOT disappoint me !!!!!!! Have you been a long time fan of theirs?? 'Would love to meet them. 'Bet they are hilarious!! Wont keep rambling, .... THANK YOU again. Be Blessed, and PEACE !!! ~~~ Mesha Casteil, Native American Appalachian Cherokee
Far too slow; compared to the "Comedians Harmonits...What a difference! Too sophisticated... Listen to the Duke Ellington's version or even to the Kings Singers's version. When you have listened to these other versions, difficult to like this one.
