They, They, They Are the Ones - The Early Hits And More

They, They, They Are the Ones - The Early Hits And More [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED] 2CD SET

The career of The Ames Brothers fits nicely into two separate compartments, the years on the Coral label and those with RCA Victor. Little has been available of the early days of the group and this double CD is putting matters to rights. The Urick family were Russian Jews from the Ukraine who settled in Massachusetts where they brought up 4 girls and 5 boys. Although the family was poor they instilled in their children the love of classic literature and music. The four youngest boys, Joe, Gene, Vic and Ed were all gifted vocally, singing at high school, and quite good sportsmen too who took their basketball skills on the road with them early in their singing career. Their love of baseball saw them perform sometimes at the Franklin Field and at various military camps in the Boston and State area. Through this they also managed to get appearances on local radio. Joe had ambitions as an opera singer in Montreal and for a while a cousin, Lenny Kaufman, took his place in the quartet but when he took sick Ed returned to form the line up that wouldn't change over the next 15 years.
