The Ames Brothers

The Ames Brothers, an American quartet of siblings, rose to prominence in the 1950s with their harmonious vocals and charm that captured the hearts of a post-war audience. Formed in Malden, Massachusetts, the group consisted of brothers Joe, Gene, Vic, and Ed Ames, who harmonized their way into the American music scene. Their journey to stardom began in the late 1940s, and they soon became a household name with a series of hits that showcased their smooth, barbershop-influenced harmonies.

The quartet's career was punctuated by a string of popular songs that showcased their versatility, ranging from ballads to novelty songs. Hits like "Rag Mop," which they famously performed on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1950, and "Sentimental Me," solidified their place in the music industry. Throughout the years, The Ames Brothers continued to release music that reflected their strong vocal skills and ability to adapt to the changing tastes of the listening public. Albums such as "Christmas Harmony," "Hello Italy!" and "Destination Moon," along with their collections like "The Best Of The Ames" and "The Ames Brothers Volume 2," reflect the breadth of their repertoire and highlight their continued relevance in the annals of classic American vocal groups. Their holiday music, including "There'll Always Be A Christmas," remains beloved to this day, bringing timeless warmth to the festive season. The Ames Brothers remain a quintessential example of the classic vocal groups of mid-century America, their sound a nostalgic window to a bygone era.
