Wordless Vocals (1055)

 
Atomic Age logo with an illustration of a four men singing. The words oooohhhh, aaaahhh, dooo-waaahh, and zuu zuu zuuu surrounds them. Text reads Episode 1055 Wordless Vocals

On this edition of The Atomic Age Cocktail Party, it's a show filled with lots of ooohs and ahhhhh and even a few zu zu zu’s. We take a look at the wordless vocal style that was all the rage during the hi-fi era. That's when the human voice becomes another part of the orchestration without singing actual lyrics. We’ll hear from The Anita Kerr Quartet, The Voices of Walter Schumann, Juan Garcia Esquivel, Neal Hefti, and more.
