Rockapella
From Free net encyclopedia
Current revision
Image:Rockapella.jpgRockapella is a five-man a cappella musical group, known best for their Folgers Coffee commercials and the Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? theme song.
The text "All Sounds provided by the voices and appendages of Rockapella," the central idea of the group, appears on the group's Label debut, Don't Tell Me You Do. Frequently, songs downloaded on file-sharing programs may be mis-tagged as Rockapella, when they are instead by other a cappella artists, including college-related groups, Moxy Früvous, and Da Vinci's Notebook, as well as for other, less similar acts, such as Eddie From Ohio or They Might Be Giants.
None of the original members of Rockapella currently remain in the group. Founding members Sean Altman, Charlie Evett, Elliott Kerman, and Steve Keyes now comprise the group The Groove Barbers.
