Sharon, Lois & Bram
Encyclopedia
Sharon, Lois & Bram is the name of a Canadian
children's musical trio
composed of Sharon (Trostin) Hampson (born March 31, 1943 in Toronto, Ontario), Lois Ada (Goldberg) Lilienstein (born July 10, 1936 in Chicago, Illinois), and Bramwell "Bram" Morrison (born December 18, 1940 in Toronto, Ontario).
, released by Elephants Records distributed by A & M. The folk style album soared in sales, becoming one of the fastest selling children’s album at the time in Canada.
The group began touring in Canada, in The Greatest Little Touring Super Show in 1979, then appearing in the United States at the Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors Festival in New York in 1980. The group had a diverse musical sound and themed songs. It ranged from folk songs, school yard chants, pop tunes, camp songs, singing games, rounds, and nonsense rhymes that were performed in diverse styles such as jazz, calypso, rock’n roll, country and folk. Their music was for families and leaned heavily towards participation and sing along styles. This style was furthered developed in their television show The Elephant Show
, which aired on CBC
commencing in 1984.
Their unique singing style can be credited not only to themselves but also to producer Bill Whitely. Whitely was looking for a more energetic twist to children’s music and a shift away from the previous traditional folk style. Whitely used a technique in which songs were no longer filtered though personalities and trademark sounds of the performer. Instead, songs instilled all musical manner and sources such as rock ‘n roll, Broadway or calypso. This sound was regarded as completely new. Sharon, Lois, and Bram's appeal crossed a variety of demographics.
