The Sandpipers were a male vocal trio that recorded a handful of easy listening pop hits in the mid-'60s. The group was distinguished by its light, breezy harmonies, which floated over delicate, breezy string arrangements, as well as the occasional appearance of a wordless female backing vocalist who drifted in and out of the music. Though they didn't manage to have a long, sustained career, the group did have one Top Ten hit with "Guantanamera" in 1966.
Originally, the Sandpipers were known as the Four Seasons. The three members -- Jim Brady, Mike Piano, and Richard Shoff -- were part of the Californian Mitchell Boys Choir before they formed their own group.
