[edit] Discography

I have prepared a discography of their LPs and CDs for my own use, but would be happy to upload it, if maintainers would like to see it.

[edit] Why "(1962-1973)"?

Why "(1962-1973)"? The group seems to be still performing, according to its website (as of April 2004).

They're ghosts. -Silence 02:55, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 'Was'?'

Why are the Swingle Singers described as a band with the word 'was'? Surely they are still around, as discussed in the caption above. I shall therefore echange the word 'was' to 'is'.

[edit] Stub

This is just a stub. The stub template should be created.

You're right. You should invent it. Good luck to you on your mission! -Silence 02:55, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] It's not them on Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

'The group can be heard during the instrumental passages from the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.' - I don't think so, it's a copy of their style by Burt Bacharach, but it isn't them. Evidence; there is no mention of the film anywhere on the groups own website, which documents their career exhaustively. According to this page, it's probably Anita Kerr;

'There is good reason to suspect she also pulled another pseudonymous trick and recorded a second collection of Bacharach tunes, this time done very much in the mode of the Swingle Singers: Bacharach Baroque on Ranwood. And, although I've never been able to confirm it, I suspect it's Kerr and the gang da-ba-da-bing on the tune, "South American Getaway," from Bacharach's soundtrack to "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.64.112.13 (talk) 17:20, 18 January 2007 (UTC).
