The Pioneers – The Mills Brothers
From time to time we would like to pay homage to some of the pioneers. You can see the influence of the Mills Brothers in the music of current Jazz vocal groups like Take 6 and others. On many of their records it was stated that the only musical instrument used was a guitar. A cappella was not invented by the Mills Brothers but they sure put their stamp upon it.
The Mills Brothers were a major African-American jazz and pop vocal quartet of the 20th century producing more than 2,000 recordings that sold more than 50 million copies and garnered at least three dozen gold records. The Mills Brothers were inducted into The Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1998.
