Way back in the late 1920s our family had a wind-up Victrola on which we played several scratchy records. I vaguely remember a set of small-size records put out by an English company. A choral group, "The English Singers," did several songs, one of which was, "Just as the Tide Was Flowing." They were certainly forerunners of, The King Singers- I was amazed by the arrangements, being a little tot used to hearing and singing the songs straight-out. The chorus was especially incredible:

A-flowing, a-flowing, a-a-flow---------------------ing! Impossible to describe. Bruce-O's Kidson version given above is nearest to my "English Singers." Wish I could find that record again!
