The Orioles were one of the pioneer group harmony groups.We here in NJ have a connection to them,in that my late friend and great singer Bobby Thomas led an Orioles group for many years.In fact I think Diz sang with Bobby.Just this month at a concert put on by Charlie Horner of classicurbanharmony.net a great Philly acappella group Quiet Storm [[check them on youtube) did a tribute to Bobby and The Orioles.And it gets better.The original lead of The original Orioles,Sonny Til's grandson has surfaced and is in the process of putting together a tribute to his grandfather and will perform here in New Jersey at Monmouth College with Quiet Storm as his back up Orioles.
