Second Cup Cafe: Straight No Chaser

It all started in 1996, when ten friends at Indiana University started a male a capella group called Straight No Chaser.

Ten years later, immediately following their college reunion, they posted a performance on YouTube that got 12 million views and earned them a record deal.

After two very successful holiday releases, the guys released an album of classic pop songs, "With A Twist," which debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 29.

Legendary crooner Barry Manilow is even a SNC fan and lent his voice to their version of "One Voice," the title song from Manilow's 1979 album.

The group brought their harmony to "The Early Show on Saturday Morning's "Second Cup Cafe" to perform Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours," as well as "I Heard it Through the Grapevine."

Straight No Chaser, which includes five original members and five new ones, headed to the Jersey shore to kick off their summer at Harrah's Resort in Atlantic City. There, they are performing their brand-new show, "Songs of the Decades... With a Twist," which started July 2 and will go until August 30.

While the original 10 college a cappella crooners graduated and pursued separate paths, music ultimately brought them back together -- and at a 10-year college reunion, it turned out they were still in tune.

So the guys posted a YouTube clip of their "12 Days of Christmas" recording, and it became an instant hit on the Internet and caught the eye of Atlantic Records Chairman and CEO Craig Kallman.

Since then, the group's 2008 debut, "Holiday Spirits," hit No. 4 on Billboard's Top Holiday Albums chart and spent two weeks in the No. 1 slot on Amazon and five days atop the iTunes sales chart. The subsequent "Christmas Cheers" in 2009 was No. 6 Top Holiday Albums and rolled into the Billboard 200 at No. 38.

"With a Twist," the third full-length album from the group, released this past April, also debuted at No. 6 on the Internet Albums chart, and at No. 15 on the Digital Albums chart and had the fifth largest pre-order in Atlantic's history.

The album encompasses an array of musical influences, including Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours," with Israel Kamakawiwoole's treatment of The Wizard of Oz classic "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," Soft Cell's "Tainted Love," Queen's "Your My Best Friend," Oasis' "Wonderwall," Coldplay's "Fix You" and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under the Bridge."
