The Johnny Mann Singers
Invisible Tears / We Can Fly! Up Up And Away

Description

This CD brings together two albums from The Johnny Mann Singers, the acclaimed Los Angeles-based choral ensemble led by conductor and arranger Johnny Mann, whose lush, accessible vocal arrangements made him one of the most distinctive voices in easy listening and pop choral music through the 1960s. The pairing spans a remarkable breadth of contemporary pop, from the breezy bossa nova warmth of ‘The Girl From Ipanema’ to the sunshine pop euphoria of ‘Up, Up and Away’ and the tender folk-pop of ‘Dedicated to the One I Love’. With 23 tracks covering Broadway, bossa nova, and pop radio hits of the era, this CD is a rich document of the golden age of American choral pop production…
