The Mills Brothers were as popular as Michael Jackson during their day, but largely forgotten. I learned about them (like so many things!) from old cartoons. They would do a whole jazz-band thing with their voices - imitiating trombones, hot cornets, etc. Truly incredible. They traveled to the UK to perform for the Queen, got sick on the voyage, and it was all downhill from there, sadly.
