    Are these vocal group records? I say yes to all three.

    And I say you're varying degrees of nuts on all three.

    For The Longest Time is where you are nuts, cuckoo and whacko. All the
    voices are Billy Joel and there is no vocal group, period!

    That does not matter. It only matters what the record sounds like, not
    who is doing the singing. Even A1 records are vocal group records if
    they feature the sound of a vocal group, and there's no actual person
    singing on those. A computer program is creating the vocal group sound.

    All the voices on this one below are from the same guy, and it's still a
    vocal group record. It's listed in the "Vocal Group Record Guide," by
    Jeff Kreiter.

    There has to be at least 3 voices singing together. Three different
    voices that never sing together at the same time is not a vocal group,
    whether they are 3 different people or are 3 different voices provided
    by the same person, or by AI.

    "The Class" by Chubby Checker is NOT a vocal group record.

    This one here is certainly a vocal group record:

    If they were not vocal group records then you should be able to discern
    that just by hearing them. The fact that you only declare them not be
    vocal group records is when you learn where those vocal sounds came from
    shows that they ARE vocal group records.

    And method of classification of a sound recording that requires more
    than just hearing it is a cop out IMO. If I played you the Blue Sky Boys
    record and said that it was an unissued track from the 50s by an unknown
    group you would surely agree that it's a vocal group record. It's got a
    lead, first tenor, a second tenor, a baritone and a bass singing on it.

    The fact that you would reverse your classification only upon
    discovering that the same person is singing all 5 parts just shows how illogical your method is.

    ALL THAT MATTERS IS WHAT'S COMING OUT OF THE SPEAKERS!

    The artist just shows Huey Smith. The Clowns are not even mentioned. I
    say it's a vocal group record, and is listed in Jeff Kreiter's Vocal
    Group Record Guide. As are "Don't You Just Know It" and others.

    And this too is a vocal group record, even though the lead artist does
    not sing on the record. He is just the band leader.

    And it doesn't matter how good the imitations are. They could even be

    How ridiculous! To require an actual vocal group for a record to be considered a vocal group record.

    So if Willie Winfield, Sonny Til, Gerald Gregory, Rudy West and Tony
    Williams got together and made a group harmony recording they would not
    be an "actual" vocal group?

    Suppose they gave themselves a name like the Harmony All-Stars, would
    they then be an "actual" vocal group?

    Suppose they got together a second time a year later and made another
    group harmony recording? Would they then qualify as an "actual" vocal
    group?

    What are the requirements for a vocal group like this to become an
    "actual" vocal group?

    Is this an "actual" vocal group or an "imitation" vocal group?

    It's too absurd to answer, but if you insist, they are all vocal group records. Lots of vocal group records are imitations of previous vocal
    group records. That in no way invalidates them as vocal group records.

    A live vocal group imitating a live vocal group is not the question

    So if Willie Winfield made a record along with Sonny Til, Alexander
    Sharp, Johnny Reed and George Nelson, that would not be a vocal group
    record, but rather Willie Winfield backed by the Orioles. I don't get
    why that would be different than Willie making a record with Rudy West,
    Gerald Gregory, Tony Williams and Sonny Til, which you sa IS a vocal
    group record.

    I guess you are claiming that if the rest of the guys there happen to
    also be the members of a different vocal group, that this new assemblage
    of members can't also be a vocal group?

    Suppose Willie is on the record but is not the lead singer. Does it then
    become a vocal group record?

    How about if Curtis Lee sang on "Pretty Little Angel Eyes," but did not
    sing lead. The producer Phil Spector wanted an extra voice in the group.
    Would it then be a vocal group record?

    If the record as it was recorded was issued as by the Halos rather than
    as by Curtis Lee, would it then be a vocal group record?

    By the way, some of the Spector records by the Crystals and Ronettes
    also included other voices besides members of the group. Are they still
    vocal group records?

    How they sound is the only thing that matters. Everything else is
    irrelevant IMO.

    The big word being opinion. Your opinion is based on what the final
    product sounds like. Mine is based on the English language and the
    facts.

    The problem is that when you first hear certain records you would be
    unable to tell us if it is a vocal group record or not until you
    ascertain (if possible) who the singers are.

    So if you heard "The Longest Time" without knowing who the artist is,
    you would definitely say that it was a vocal group record, no?

    So what happens if you never discover who the artist is? Does it remain
    a vocal group record forever?

    The rigidness of your definition ends up tying you up in circles with
    all kinds of circumstances.

    If we suddenly discovered that a famous vocal group record like "In The
    Still Of The Night" was not sung by Freddie Parris, but rather by Roy
    Hamilton, who took Fred's place that day because Freddie was sick. Would
    it then NOT be a vocal group record anymore?

    A vocal group record is a recording by a self contained group of three
    or more live and present singers.

    self contained - The dictionary meaning is complete, or having all that
    is needed, in itself.

    You've already said that the recording by Willie Winfield, Rudy West,
    Sonny Til, Gerald Gregory and Tony Williams would be a vocal group
    recording, so why do they qualify as a "self contained" vocal group?

    What about "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me," by the Supremes and Temptations together? Is that a "vocal group record?"

    Senator Bill, in this debate at least, Bruce has not been obfuscating.

    This is your, Bill's, simple and misleading joint attack-defence
    stance forced upon you because of the superior and rational intellect
    that Bruce has applied in *this* debate. At the end of the day, Bruce
    has in affect asked only a few questions, not "hundreds" or even tens
    (Bill, are you related to Trump?). Bruce has clearly outwitted you in
    *this* debate and in a last desperate fling you have resorted to a sly
    libelous attack and thrown in the towel by simply repeating your opening
    flawed definition of what a vocal group record is. It's as if you are
    making loud silly noises to drown out an opposing view, which amounts
    to displaying willfull ignorance or deliberate avoidance of the relevant
    issues Bruce has raised. Yes, to pre-empt you, this is just my opinion,
    but which might be shared by thousands of folks (with college degrees)
    if they ever got to follow this debate.

    The results of the upcoming US presidential election will not come about because people believe in the weirdest things - this is a false analogy.

    It is not weird to fear uncontrolled immigration.
    It is not weird to want to protect the rights of women on the issue of abortion.

    Billy Joel was alive when he made his vocal group record of "The Longest

    But he is only one person. Where I live, a group means three or more.




    so why when Al Cleveland, J.R. Bailey, Harold Johnson, Arthur
    Crier and Curtis Lee got together and recorded "Pretty Little Angel
    Eyes" why were they NOT a vocal group?

    This is a tough call. I'm not sure where I stand on it. I lean to a
    vocal group backing Curtis Lee.

    So if Willie Winfield made a record along with Sonny Til, Alexander
    Sharp, Johnny Reed and George Nelson, that would not be a vocal group
    record, but rather Willie Winfield backed by the Orioles. I don't get
    why that would be different than Willie making a record with Rudy West, Gerald Gregory, Tony Williams and Sonny Til, which you sa IS a vocal
    group record.

    I guess you are claiming that if the rest of the guys there happen to
    also be the members of a different vocal group, that this new assemblage
    of members can't also be a vocal group?

    Suppose Willie is on the record but is not the lead singer. Does it then become a vocal group record?

    How about if Curtis Lee sang on "Pretty Little Angel Eyes," but did not
    sing lead. The producer Phil Spector wanted an extra voice in the group. Would it then be a vocal group record?

    If the record as it was recorded was issued as by the Halos rather than
    as by Curtis Lee, would it then be a vocal group record?

    By the way, some of the Spector records by the Crystals and Ronettes
    also included other voices besides members of the group. Are they still
    vocal group records?

    What if pigs could fly?

    So you have your rules, unless you decide to break them. Why is Little
    Esther and the Robins (or Dominoes) any different than Elvis and the Jordanaires? Both groups are shown on the labels of the records. Clearly
    Esther was not a member of the Robins just as Elvis was not a member of
    the Jordanaires. Both should be handled the same way.

    Enough with the "if's" !!!!

    This is how us scientists debate. We propose a bunch of "what ifs" so we
    are able to look at the issue from all sides and consider every
    possibility. There is no room for emotion.

    Waiting to hear why you see Little Esther and the Robins differently
    than you see Elvis Presley and the Jordanaires. Why is Double Crossing
    Blues" a "vocal group record," but "Love Me" not a vocal group record?
    This is not an if.

    On "Double Crossing Blues" the Robins are making a definite contribution
    to the whole structure of the record trading whole verses on their own
    volition and physically SHARING the song with Esther and very much
    adding another dimension to the finished record

    Much more so than The Jordanaires on "Love Me" where they merely back up Elvis---adequately yes of course---but without really adding anything
    new

    I hope you been and voted and helped the Donald out :)

    What is a scientist?

    A scientist is someone who systematically gathers and uses research and evidence, to make hypotheses and test them, to gain and share
    understanding and knowledge. A scientist can be further defined by: how
    they go about this, for instance by use of statistics (statisticians) or
    data (data scientists).

    I fit this description perfectly, and it does not say anything in the description about needing to have a college degree to qualify.

    Right now I am studying the science of vocal groups. I am using research
    and evidence, to make hypotheses and test them, to gain and share
    understanding and knowledge. Unfortunately some of the people I am using
    for this process don't seem to have the patience that us scientists
    require.

    Trump also issues statements like this:

    After this, there will be no more response to your obfuscations and
    hundreds of questions.

    such as:

    "There will be no more debates," after he gets his ass shredded in a
    debate like you getting done to you in this thread. And he also declares himself the winner of the debate as he bows out, like you did.

    You both just take your ball and go home.

    We've really reached the barrel bottom on this one haven't we?

    Because some guy chooses to attribute his YouTube post that way does not
    make it so.

    "Love Me Tender" was a song presented to Elvis

    "Love Me Tender" was a song recorded by Elvis

    "Love Me Tender" was a song marketed as by Elvis

    "Love Me Tender" was a song that charted by Elvis

    "Love Me Tender" was a song that sold several million copies worldwide
    by Elvis

    Sure the Jordanaires back Elvis on the number and feature on the song.

    But they are no more the PRINCIPAL artist(s) here than The Pied Pipers
    were back in the 40's when backing on those early Sinatra records.

    Remind me to mail you over a fresh bunch of straws to cling to

    You can barely here the Jordanaires on the record. I just thought that
    it was funny that the schmuck never even mentions Elvis. When I clicked
    on it I expected it to be a Jordanaires version without Elvis. I'm sure
    when they appeared at places back then on their own that they must have
    sang some of the songs they did with Elvis with one of them on lead.
