Considered by many to be the finest vocal harmony groups ever the Singers Unlimited were Don Shelton, Len Dresslar, Gene Puerling and Bonnie Herman. Founded by Puerling in Chicago in 1967 the group signed with MPS Records in Germany with whom they recorded fourteen albums over the next seven years. This CD is a collection of some of the best of those recordings and features nineteen tracks including a cappella classics such as My Romance and Clare which are great examples as to why Puerling is often lauded as a genius for his work. Puerling created a unique style based on rich and bold harmony, delicate contrasts in timbre and differentiated formal arrangements.
