Harmony Vocal Group Vocal Styles

This style, popular from the 1930s through 1950s, is rooted in minstrelry and barbershop quartets. Ushered in by the Mills Brothers and the Boswell Sisters in the early 1930s, the Andrews Sisters epitimized the style after World War II and many groups, such as the McGuire Sisters and the Ames Brothers, recorded during the 1950s.
