The team of Santiago & Dunham, a fifty-nine year old former singer and a thirty-eight-year-old record collector, has managed to spark international interest among record collectors, vocal group enthusiasts and lovers of the doo-wop scene with their new book, A Cappella Street Corner Vocal Groups.
It is the first book to document the bygone era of street corner singers. Although the book is primarily a discography of a cappella recordings that was made in the 1960s, it is sure to be a top seller in the oldies market and beyond.
Propelled with a vision of informing the public about the Golden Age of A Cappella, this book is a must for those who are interested in rock 'n roll, the preservation of the group R&B sound and the birth of the oldies market. Interest in the book has reached to Barcelona, Spain, London, England and Tokyo, Japan.
The legendary R&B vocalist Jerry Butler, formerly of the Impressions, says this about the book: Take what you've got and make what you need, which is what the mantra of a cappella singing is all about."
