“Along with the Ravens, the Orioles were considered the pioneers
of rhythm and blues vocal harmony.” Many of their hit songs (written by their
manager, Deborah Chessler) featured the tenor voice of Sonny Til (1928-1981)
and accompaniment “that was felt rather than heard” (The Encyclopedia of Popular Music).
