The King's Singers are a Britisha cappellavocal ensemble founded in 1968. They are named after King's College in Cambridge, England, where the group was formed by six choral scholars. In the United Kingdom, their popularity peaked in the 1970s and early 1980s. Thereafter they began to reach a wider international audience, appearing frequently on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in the U.S. In 1987, they were prominently featured as guests on the Emmy Award winning ABC-TV special Julie Andrews: The Sound of Christmas.
Today the ensemble travels worldwide for its performances, appearing in around 125 concerts each year, mostly in Europe, the U.S. and the Far East, having recently added the People's Republic of China to their list of touring territories. In recent years the group have had several UK appearances at the Royal Albert Hall Proms and concerts as part of the Three Choirs Festival and the City of London Festival.
History
The group has always consisted of six singers in total, with their membership changing over the years. None of the original members remain. The first stable incarnation of the group, from late 1969 until 1978, comprised:
The King's Singers: If I can help somebody - Alma Androzzo (arr. Stacey V. Gibbs)
This is a new single from The King's Singers' upcoming album 'Finding Harmony', which explores songs from all of the world which have helped bring communities together and give them a voice in difficult times. 'If I can help somebody' is a song which became popular during the struggles of the American Civil Rights movement. It was one of Martin Luther King Jr's favourite hymns, and he quoted it in one of his final sermons before his assassination. The Civil Rights movement had music and singing at its very core, and the words of this song summarise the message of hope which lay at the centre of it.
The arrangement was written for The King's Singers by American composer and arranger Stacey V. Gibbs. Stacey grew up in Tennessee, as part of a large family who frequently sang together. This s...

Why do I do, just as you say Why must I just, give you your way Why do I sigh, why don't I try to forget It must have been, That something lovers call fate Kept me saying: "I have to wait" I saw them all, Just couldn't fall 'til we met It had to be you, it had to be you I wandered around, and finally found The somebody who Could make me be true, And could make me be blue And even be glad, just to be sad Thinking of you Some others I've seen, Might never be mean Might never be cross, Or try to be boss But they wouldn't do For nobody else, gave me a thrill With all your faults, I Love you still It had to be you, wonderful you It had to be you
