Notes: This album received the 2008 Grammy Award for "Best Classical Crossover Album." On 2008's SIMPLE GIFTS, the King's Singers present another stirring a cappella set, mixing pop tunes with traditional American and British songs. Highlights of this album by the long-running U.K. vocal ensemble include a resonant version of the spiritual "Swing Low" and a serene rendition of Randy Newman's "When She Loved Me" (from Pixar's TOY STORY 2).
