- Rockapella singing "Tonight." From promo video. 2005
I am in no way affiliated with Rockapella, PKA management or Paid Celebrity Services. I am simply a fan wishing to spread the talent of this amazing group
I attended their concert and twice, they sang without amplification either. Pure vocal abiity. brilliant.
Minor corrections: There were two basses prior to Barry Carl. Carl retired in 2002. Kevin Wright, although never on Carmen, appeared with Carl, Kerman, Leonard, and Thacher on the famous Folgers ads.
Thank you I have always loved acapella - but, I have never heard these guys. WOW!!!!!!
Dj
My favorite A Capella group.
you learn a lot from reading web sites, articles from magazines, and going to their concerts. i've been to 6 of them and each time you learn a little something.
Rockapella is still Rockapella. I do think that once Scott does retire, the sound of the group might change pending a new lead tenor, but they are still Rockapella none the less, and will always have my support. :-)
Speaking of ol' Barry Carl; Has anyone seen the movie, "Sing Now or Forever Hold Your Peace" with him in it? It's supposed to be a decent movie. It was a limited release though
I like this group very, very :)
You said it WOW!!!!
I'm speechless! that was great! loved the ending! thanks for sharing!
Barry retired. Scott Leonard's been around as long as rockapella's gotten any real publicity-i.e. Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? and the folgers commercial. i'm assuming elliot kerman retired too, i doubt they kicked him out.
Sounding good as ever. I haven't seen them with Mr. Green yet. Saw them two years ago in Memphis.
It's an original. Scott Leonard wrote it. They've been using it as the opener for their shows for the past 4 years.
It is 'bout that time tonight.
Aw. You should have been there. I attended. It was great!
FLAWLESS
scott is so cool!
Their chemistry. It was just something special in the 90's even when Sean left and Kevin came on. It seems to a large part they have preserved that magic even as other transitions have taken place. I think part of it is, as far as I know, the guys genuinely like each other and are friends and supportive of one another.
uauuuuu
Very cool...I expecially like that deep voice but they are all very good!
Thanks Zandl, I found out on the Rockapella Facebook page :)
We never got a CD out of the last lineup, sadly.
bueno mis felicitaciones espero entiendan el español... seria espectacular que cantaran en español también.. su trabajo es excelente soy un fanático de su música, aquí en Venezuela no se conoce mucho sobre rockapella como consigo música y videos de ellos?
there was no full-time beatbox like they have with jeff. so far he's the first and only full-time vocal percussion they've had. jeff sings a little bit in "up on the roof" and has one line of singing in "tempted" before jeff, they made the bass fill in whatever rests he had with some very basic percussion sounds, but that was it.
I've seen them live several times. They don't lip synch. If you notice tons of "uploaded" videos end up being out of sync.
Jeff is not doing plain VP my friend. His beats are interlaced with very complex Rhythmic patterns incorporating the sounds he can also make with his throat. That's why he wears those guitar pickups on his throat. He was the first to do this. Do you have any clips or examples of Cosmos that we can sample?
"Live from Japan", a self-released CD as they currently are without a label.
WOW!!!
*****
Amazing! :-O
These guys have come a long way since the days of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. I love their new base man. He doesn't have the same presence as their original, Barry Carl, but he's good nonetheless.
@mormonhobbit Barry left in 2002 and was replace by George Baldi III. Elliott left in 2004 and was replaced by John K. Brown. And most recently, Kevin left in 2009 and was replaced by Steven Dorian.
i know!! feel my pain! urhhhh.. hate the exams and limitations they brought along. grrrr.
Good that they brought in 2 black dudes, I always thought they needed some more soul powah ;)
it's soon to be 2010......these guys are long overdue on a new CD!
the original group didn't even have jeff. jeff came on board the same time they were asked to do carmen san diego. the original group was 4 guys that started the group in 1987 with sean altman, steve keyes, elliott kerman, and david stix. stix wasn't around for long though. the carmen sandiego edition of rockapella had jeff, scott, elliott, barry, and sean. elliott left the group about 2 or 3 years ago with his last show being at the BB King bar and grill in times square new york.
@acappellafreak any idea when they are going to come out with a new album featuring this song on it? I love it but cant find it anywhere to download.
Elliott left the group to spend more time with his family and pursue other things. For a while he was helping his wife with some type of designing business and was doing that until he could get his jazz combo together. He's done a few gigs with his jazz combo since then.
hey can you send me the video please????
this is the best rockpella videos with carmen sandiego
hey! great, really great. but can anybody tell me if this song is covered or original? thx!
does anyone know where this performance took place? what stage are they on?
I know about Barry...but where's Elliot? He was my favorite out the group. Did he leave too?
yeah dude, are you like new to youtube or something? youtube messes up a lot of videos like that
And yet that's not what he's been doing. But hey, he's still fantastic.
I don't suppose anyone knows where I could find the lyrics to this song...? Thanks!
He solo'd on Kingdom of Shy for a reason! ;-)
Actually, barry retired in 02, and elliot retired in 04
I agree with nsa, once scott leaves, there will be huge changes, like what happened when Barry left the group
RIP kevin wright =( (in terms of rockapella)
they have some new members? when was this?
From which album is it from ??
can anyone find the lyrics to this song? i cant find them anywhere.
I Love this song! Thanks to SolarBlade00 for the lyrics, I appreciate it. I Love that sound!
the video isnt in sync with the audio. watch their finger snapping and listen to the music. they arnt snapping their fingers on the beat.
I've gotta disagree. My first exposure to a capella was an old video of an all black group from the 60s. Couldn't tell you what that group was called, but they were even better than Rockapella (which is saying a hell of a lot because these guy are the bomb).
they're coming to singapore and i cant go because of the damn exams! T_T
This comment is unfounded unless the bass from Cosmos can sing like JD Sumner because I have sung with George Baldi (The Bass) and he can sing down to a low B-flat verry easily. His upper range is solid too including a crazy high falsetto.
singing in the shower! No better place! :)
Barry Carl retired in 04 and Elliott Kerman retired in 06
Were they opening for Yanni?
elliott left because he wanted to spend more time with his family and start getting into other things like his jazz combo. i think barry just wanted to start doing other things. either way, the group doesn't have any of the original members from when they started back in 1987
HOW DARE YOU COMPARE ROCKAPELLA TO BRITNEY SPEARS! If it looks like they're lip syincing - it's a glich in the video. I've seen Rockapella a dozen times over the past 7 years and I can assure you: it's as real as it gets. I hate to say it, but there are nights when they can't perform certain songs based on how their voices feel.
Barry retired from the group in 2002. He was replaced by George Baldi.
But I'm still a sentimental fool for the 90's lineup(s) and nothing will ever quite compete.
Playboy Magazine rates many bands and groups, so it's not uncommon for a group/band to be rated by them.
watch the video closely.
lol a lot of people say that but he just doesn't have owen wilsons odd nose.
Harmonic Geniuses... not better than the manhattan transfer but still extremely entertaining!
omg cdubzzz. why...
looks like Owen Wilson
Race has nothing to do with it. That being said, I like George and John. I'd prefer to have Barry over George (no offense) though I prefer John over Elliot.
like cosmosguy said, everyone has different favorites, but tombstonedm, your just plain wrong. Of the cosmos songs i have heard on here, i have never heard any of them do anything that could be considered beat boxing, just vocal fluxuation. And Cosmos don't harmonize with singing like rockapella does, they harmonize with sounds. Not only are your facts wrong, but most of them are just opinions, and you can't use opinions when you're trying to prove something.
yeah ur right
i think the're much better with that black guys
This isn't the ORIGINAL rockapella group
It’s OG now tho
cosmos mate your funny
whats the point of a high tenor? it doesnt mean hes a good singer.... same with a bass, Rockapellas bass has soul... he doesnt straing his voice... and rockapellas VOICE PERCUSSION, he imitates the sound of drums... and cosmos dont harmonise i watched a video of them on here and all they do is random pitch hitting... oh dont quote me on this one, but cosmos dont write their own songs
well i was just bringing up someone who came to mind who lip syncs and britney spears is notorious for lip synching.
This isn't the ORIGNA
im sry but you can't be more wrong, cosmos have better voices, have a tenor that goes way higher, a bass that goes waaaaay lower, i mean i can do this guy's low notes! and the beat box is NOTHING compared to cosmos, he is only doing plain stuff, nothing complicated of worth being wowed at, PLUS! cosmos create muuuuch better harmonies than these, man, you ought to hear more of cosmos!
whos worse with their lip syncing??
britney spears or these people??
singing like this is left for white boys. anyone can keep a beat and sing but the white boys keep the real rythem and harmony
