		Friday, August 29th, 2003 09:43:46 AM Even though The Lettermen have been performing since the late 1950s and had their first hit in 1961, original singer Tony Butala insists that they are not strictly a nostalgia group.
		Before forming the Lettermen in 1959, Butala was already an established singer in Las Vegas and performed with such stars as Connie Stevens.
		Butala said the Lettermen are "the original boy band," as he put the group together by looking for the best solo and group singers in Hollywood.

		THE LETTERMEN are absolutely wonderful in performing the kind of music that we have to search back to and never hear again since Paul Berlin retired last year, ending his thirty years on the radio with his "Music of Yesterday" program every afternoon.
		The current Lettermen consist of Tony Butala (The group's only original member), Donovan Scott Tea (an accomplished singer and songwriter who joined the group in 1984) and Darren Dowler (a young actor, singer, impressionist who came aboard in 1995).
		It was in Las Vegas that Donovan and THE LETTERMEN first crossed paths and he became a member of the group in the Fall of 1934.

	A star-spangled hit
		As Butala, who's doing the anthem again tomorrow at the Pirates game, recalls, the Lettermen soon were performing the anthem in ball parks all over the country.
		In 1989, shortly after being hailed in People magazine for their national anthem, the Lettermen sang it again -- in Seattle -- at which point they'd done it in every Major League park in existence.
		When the Lettermen perform in 10,000-seat auditoriums, it's not this huge screaming, then it dies off in two seconds.

	SoundtrackNet Review : The Lettermen: Greatest Movie Hits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		With their distinct styling and world-famous vocalizations, The Lettermen is a musical group that for the past 35-years has been entertaining music listeners across the world.
		Recently The Lettermen released an album "Greatest Movie Hits" featuring their own special renditions of some of the best songs from film.
		Their rendition is pretty interesting, with the signature Lettermen harmonizing - but they don't seem to have the emotion that Celine Dion had in her performance and it comes off a bit cold.

		The Lettermen's close-harmony pop songs with light and easy arrangements made them quite a successful group with adult audiences during the 1960s, when changing styles and tastes made many older listeners feel just a bit left behind in the music world.
		Formed in 1960 by two students at Brigham Young University, Jim Pike and Bob Engemann, with a lounge singer named Tony Butala, the Lettermen recorded without success for about a year until they signed to Capitol Records.
		Another Pike brother, Donny, replaced Jim in 1974, and the Lettermen formed their own Alfa Omega Records in 1979, sporadically releasing albums of new material even into the 1990s.

		While The Lettermen achieved considerable success on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart they were also a force to be reckoned with on the Billboard Pop Albums chart.
		Not many Brits know about the Lettermen - they had just one minor UK hit single and no UK hit albums - but they were very popular in their American homeland, where they were consistently successful in both the singles and album charts, especially during the sixties.
		The Lettermen definitely are pretty mellow in comparison to 21st Century pop acts, but if you are looking for a gentle yet romantic album -- either to relax on a rainy afternoon alone or to share with someone special, this CD certainly suits your needs.
