- This one is for the moms, dads and grandparents who remember pop music back to the 1930s. On a 1970s CBC Vancouver TV series the guests were Herb, Don and Harry, the legendary Mills Brothers, backed by Vancouver's Doug Parker Orchestra, The African-American jazz and pop vocal family group made more than 2,000 recordings, selling over 50 million copies resulting in at least three dozen gold records. In 1932 they were the first African-Americans to have a network show on radio. They appeared in 20 films between 1932 and 1956. Their first, The Big Broadcast of 1932, starred Bing Crosby, Burns & Allen. They were the first African-Americans to give a command performance before British royalty. They were frequent guests on the Jack Benny, Perry Como, Pat Boone, Dean Martin & Hollywood Palace shows. Their fiftieth anniversary in show business was celebrated in a concert hosted by Bing Crosby. Among countless hits were Tiger Rag, Lazy River, Bye Bye Blackbird, Lulu's Back in Town, Sleepy Head, Ole Rocking Chair, Someday You'll Want Me to Want You, Lazy Bones, The Song is Ended, South of the Border, I'll be Around, Yellow Bird, Paper Doll, If I Had My Way, Cab Driver, Glow Worm (their 5th million seller in 1952) and You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You. They were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1998. Well deserved!

Miss hearing my dad and his friends singing these at picnics and parties. Been 45 years.
Great music. They certainly seemed to enjoy their work! Great singers. I’ll bet Dean Martin was inspired by these fellows.
Dean Martin, who made "You're Nobody..." famous, said he was the singer he was because of what he learned from Harry Mills.
Glad to see so many comments, I thought I was a weirdo and the last Mills bros. fan in the world!
They’re huge deserved all their successes~ The Great Mills Brothers.
At83 I never tire of listening to the Magical Bros!!!
I just can't imagine today's collective group of performers will age gracefully and maintain one ounce of class, dignity, and talent like these fine gentlemen. Bravo!
Agreed 100%! No chance, not for any of them. These guys were raised and trained in a different time. It's interesting to see the much younger band getting right into them, though. When something is that good, it stands. Their distance from the single microphone still amazes me. And they always made it look easy--which it never was or will be.
Brendan Blaylock No chance, Is right! The harmony and timing is perfection and the applause from the crowd with genuine admiration and appreciation. A different time indeed.
Toe tapping music, it’s like a fine aged wine

Yes,Herbert,Donald and Harry Mills.
@@ST40TV We do! I just don't have the words: Thank you so much for this clip! Great work! 😊
It's from the Irish Rovers Show. That's them with their backs to the camera during the second number.
When you actually have talent, you don't need explosions, tricks, lip syncing, auto tune, or sex to sell yourself.
Harry don herb
Never seen this one before; they are starting to age--Harry is in between his physical declines.
The Brothers active years were between 1928 and 1982. Herbert died in 1989, Harry Flood in 1982 and Donald in 1999. This was from a 1970s TV series.
