This review is from: Whatcha Know Joe: Best of the Dorsey Years (Audio CD)

One of the best vocal ensembles from the Big Band era, the Pied Pipers was a quartet that sang with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. Featuring the warm, girl-next-door vocals of Jo Stafford and tight (but swinging) harmonies of her male cohorts, the Pipers were fun, clever and catchy. These 1940-41 recordings capture them at their best: from straight moon-june love tunes to hep jive like the title track, and nonsensical hilarity such as "Friendship", it's all great stuff. Frank Sinatra, who was still pulling his bobbysoxer apprenticeship with the Dorsey band, also pipes up on a couple of tracks. Fun stuff; highly recommended!

If you like harmony and just sweet music this CD is for you. The Pied Pipers with Jo Stafford is wonderful listening. Takes you to the days of the big bands and dance music.
