5.0 out of 5 stars A gateway cd to great a capella music, June 14, 2003

After I saw the video of this production in my chorus class in high school, I was turned on to the beautiful harmonies that are a cappella music. Each of the groups have different styles and techniques that make them stand out (Ladysmith uses native african music while Rockapella uses humor, for example). Since I've gotten this cd, I've become a huge Rockapella fan, and a big fan of the Mint Juleps as well. I also loved how the different groups sang together on some of the songs: a once in a lifetime opportunity. This collection of some recognizable songs and some new ones will have you singing along, and make you realize the power and magic of a person's voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best darn CD I've ever heard, March 20, 1999

You'll love this CD! It almost has every style of a capella I've heard. My favorites were "Zombie Jamoree" by Rockapella and "Under the Boardwalk" by Rockapella and True Image. It's also a great tool in teaching people harmony, sing parts, and more. It makes you wonder why hasn't there been a sequal to the television production.

My high school music teacher used to show this PBS video in class at least once a year. Now, almost 10 years later, my friends and I are still hooked on this amazing album!! My favorite is Don't Let Your Heart (track 2) - I cannot listen to it without bopping along!
