On the "Unsung heroes" tread Mark Bicknell mention his love of the vocal groups.

" Being a huge male vocal group fan i would have to say bands like The Volumes, Falcons, Metros, Hesitations, Volcanos, Artistics and others who made some outstanding records to little or no commercial success, still must have been hard for these groups when you had The Temptations, Four Top, Driters etc. on the same block releasing hit after hit, perhaps with a little more luck, financial backing and promotion many of our scenes artists would have rivaled the big hitters as they certainly had the talents to do so just not the lucky breaks.

Regards - Mark Bicknell."

Seems to me that this would make a good starting point for a thread dedicated to these vocal groups.

Listen to this great sound from the Volumes.

Not just because it's rare, I love the harmonies and the words in this

"When you told your new boyfriend, he was out of sight"

Lying cow

The Modulations, Smoke and the Caprells always do it for me but you really would be hard pushed to beat the Dells IMVFHO

Male vocal...just love the Larks - For The Love Of Money on Arock
