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:

Will, Nicole and Teresa perform Here's a Howdy Do from The Mikado.
The South Jersey Youth Opera of Ocean City, with guest emcee Andy, joined the cast of Opera By The Ocean this past week with performances from their recent presentation of The Mikado.
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:
Murder killing lusty willing Stealing raping family breaking Fist faces mashing nasty bashing Lying faking violent taking Sin - more than actions, more than thoughts Sin - more than feelings, more than words Sin is what I am - my nature Still I stand before my God Holy, righteous and just Hope He sees me through the blood For I am ashes and dust I am a man, fallen and filthy Completely spoiled, selfish and greedy The Son of Man, innocent and holy Shed His blood and paid the penalty Still I stand before my God Holy, righteous and just Hope He sees me through the blood For I am ashes and dust I am a part of holy priesthood Completely forgiven by His Blood I live no longer, Christ lives in me In His name saint I can be Still I stand before my God Holy, righteous and just Hope He sees me through the Blood
