Barbershop Quartet Champions 1981

Tenor: Ray Henders Lead: Butch Koth Baritone: Greg Wright Bass: Tom Felgen
The Chicago News were formed in 1979 and retired in 1985, winning a silver, and then gold medal, in between. Having re-united, this stalwart quartet proves that it still has the mettle. Swiping and sliding, with a dense and hearty blend, their sound emphasizes rich tonality over complex embellishment. 'Everything Old Is New Again' is particularly appropriate, and 'I Want A Girl,' 'My Gal Sal' and 'Heart Of My Heart' will satisfy those who prefer their Society favorites. 'Together/The Three Of Us' is a comic recognition that 'we're a whole lot better with four,' - listen to that tag, descending through two fifths for effect. When it comes to singing a love song, such as 'Didn't We,' 'If' or 'The Way We Were,' Chicago News show that silver hair hasn't compromised their charm one bit. |
