Four Piece Bands

FOUR PIECE BANDS
The majority of bands have four members. It appears that this number gives the greatest chance of achieving a harmony of instruments and voices. In some of the bands in today’s program all members play musical instruments such as the Brothers Four (Greenfields), Led Zeppelin (Immigrant Song) and Aussie band Th Strangers (Melanie Makes Me Smile). Others feature a lead singer with a backing band such as Queen (Don’t Stop Me Now) and The Doors (Love Her Madly) . In other bands the four singers are featured without instruments such as popular girl group of the sixties The Shirelles (The Things I Want To Hear), Aussie group The Delltones (Get A Little Dirt On Your Hands) and The Ames Brothers (Tammy).
