About the Artist

The family of entertainers known as The Quailes has been performing together for... well, all their lives! With a house full of eleven children, Bob Quaile Sr. took inspiration from the Osmond Brothers and taught his oldest six to sing harmony around the dinner table. Private music lessons followed as each child chose an instrument and gradually added it to the act. Not yet in their teens, The Quaile Family Singers started performing at local then national nightspots playing every style of music from Big band to Rock with arrangements that take advantage of "brother" harmony. After ten years of entertaining, The Quailes acquired and ran their own club, The First Fret, and played there exclusively until casinos came to call. The Quailes’ shows gained wider acclaim and were recognized by Atlantic City Magazine as the "Best of A.C.". They have performed on stage with Paul Anka, Pat Cooper, Helen Reddy, Susan Anton, Bobby Rydell, Davey Jones and The Monkees, and! the "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" parties hosted by Robin Leach. They have traveled to England and Whales, as well as casinos in Atlantic City and Reno. The band now chooses to play closer to their homes in New Jersey by playing private and corporate affairs.

This review is from: Family and Friends (Audio CD)

This album can be described in one word - eclectic. It is a collection of songs, chosen by the Quailes themselves, to represent their depth and diversity of musical styles.

In this fast-paced world of the music industry, you will not find more talented, hard-working, down-to-earth musicians than the Quailes. Set aside the amazing fact that there are six brothers and a sister from one family and just listen to them! What other musical families (besides The Osmonds) have been together for 30+ years and continue to develop and enhance their skills? With a few exceptions, every vocal part and instrument utilized on this album was performed by the Quailes themselves. A rare and wonderful album by high-caliber musical artists.

This album is truly eclectic - there are ballads, easy listening favorites, latin, dixieland, country-western, swing, and even patriotic songs. The final cut, an acappella rendition of Barry Manilow's "One Voice" is a personal favorite of mine.

There is only one thing better - seeing and experiencing the energy as the Quailes perform live. I highly recommend this album for your musical collection.
