Starting as The Harmony Four back in 1930, The Charioteers are a fantastic four-part vocal group that should not be forgotten and who gave groups like The Mills Brothers a run for their money! Featuring the brilliant high tenor voice of Wilfred 'Billy' Williams the groups expertise and sheer professionalism can be heard throughout the 59 tracks on this fantastic 2CD set, especially on hits like "So Long", "On The Boardwalk In Atlantic City", "open The Door, Richard" and "Oooh! Look-A-There, Ain't She Pretty?". Touring extensively in the States, The Charioteers never got scant chance to make themselves known this side of the Atlantic and most will only know of the group due to Billy Williams success as a solo artist. However, it is never too late to get a piece of the action, so grab yourself one of these marvellous sets and 'swing low' with the 'sweet' Charioteers!

Great Set
Great set. How about another CD? The material with Bing Crosby from his shows is solid! Sound quality is perfect!

a great old group
This is an excellent collection. But be forewarned, it is not like a mix tape, so has A and B sides altogether. For me, it is the best way to acquire pieces available otherwise only on old 78s. So it is for the collector or specialist. I suggest making an equivalent of a mix tape for listening. Missing are pieces from a few years later. Wish I could get them.
