International a cappella sensation the Swingle Singers performed live on Italian TV earlier this month, to promote their new album 'Beauty and the Beatbox' and to relive some of the great moments in the group's fascinating 40-year old history.

For over 40 years the Swingle Singers have provided the title melody for one of Italy's longest-running television programmes, 'Superquark'. Back in 1966, prolific journalist and well-loved TV presenter Piero Angela heard the Swingle rendition of J.S. Bach's "Air on the G String" for the first time. He chose it as the opening theme of his popular educational programme, 'Superquark', and 3000 instalments later the theme has never changed. Recently the Swingle Singers were invited to Angela's studio to explain the success of the group's 45-year career, and to promote their latest CD "Beauty and the Beatbox". The official Italian launch will take place on September 30th in Milan at Italy's most important music venue, La Scala.
