The King's Singers is an a cappella group. Their name recalls King's College in Cambridge, England,where the group was formed by six choral scholars in 1968. Althoughtheir popularity in the United Kingdom peaked in the 1970s and early1980s, the group were fortunate to have made good contacts in theUnited States by this point, including Johnny Carson (who became a fanand invited them regularly onto his talk show), and began to reachwider audiences. However, in more recent years the current King'sSingers have started to perform more regularly in the UK once again, and in 2007/08 will perform more concerts in their home country than anywhere else apart from the USA.

Todaythey remain one of the world's most popular and sought-after vocalgroups. They travel worldwide for their performances, appearing inconcert around 125 times each year, and are mostly heard in Europe, theU.S. and the Far East, where they have recently added the People's Republic of China to their long list of touring territories.
