The arranging of the King's Singers is applied to a wide variety of music from the world of pop and rock. Shocking! It's fabulous. The Beach Boys, 'Good Vibrations' is a natural for a group whose capacity to harmonize puts to shame almost anyone who hasn't also shared a lifetime of musical study, practice and performance, as have the King's Singers. There's vocal percussion, acrobatics worthy of the most avant garde practitioners of extended voice techniques, perfected trills and runs that only endless training achieves; and the harmonies, aah such harmonies. Perhaps one reason for this is the counter-tenor voice at the high register rather than needing to rely on the falsetto. It creates a harmonic purity to the chords that is sweeter. Then, of course you have to listen to the 'kazoo' chorus and all the rest of the sound effects in Freddie Mercury's 'Seaside Rendezvous to realize that these singers can do it all! Be sure to catch Ray Stevens 'Freddie Feel-Good' for a fabulous vocal jazz band. Take that, rock 'n rollers, you'll love it!
