Actor ROD TAYLOR turns 90 today! Happy birthday, Rod!
Taylor's most famous films include H.G. Wells' Time Machine and Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, but he was also the voice Pongo in 101 Dalmatians! Taylor is still active to this day, most recently playing Winston Churchill in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.
To celebrate his birthday, I have posted a track by the Missouri a capella group VOCAL SPECTURM. This cover of Cruella De Vil can be found on their self-titled 2006 release, VOCAL SPECTRUM
and contains some pretty impressive harmonies. But this shouldn't be a surprise since they were the International Champions at the Barbershop Harmony Society's International Collegiate Quartet Contest in 2009, a win that can be seen in the 2009 documentary American Harmony.This song is basically a big spotlight on tenor Tim Waurick whose incredibly powerful set of lungs allow him to hold his final note for 33 seconds! Wow!

That was such an awesome cover on the song... but then again, I'm a sucker for acapella.
It's very melodic, and I'm sure I'm going to be listening to that track numerous times, because I enjoy it that much.
Thanks for sharing that.
Love the arrangement...and the fact that it's a cappella. Thanks!
I thought 33 seconds were impossible. Turns out, I'm wrong. Awesome!
