Reading further in the article, I saw that there is also a name they use as a duo. I have not yet had time to look them up under either name and see if they are on YouTube-- hope they are! Maybe someone else has a mo' to look....

BTW Janie is a good friend of mine-- I hope no one misunderstands my post as an attack on her, and I did not mean to suggest that she had perpetuated the stereotype-- I know that she knows better. My comment was meant as a general observation only and as a stepping stone to point folks to the history of barbershop. A lot of folks also do not realize that the white men in striped shirts and straw hats they now as "barbershop" as a later generation of that art form and a heavenly sanitized one. They just "borrowed" the harmonies and got wider press in some places, as part of their privileged status. We have an all-female (white) "barbershop" quartet here that I bet doesn't know they have Black brothers in the form..... hmmmm..... I see a conversation forming up IRL....
