Barbershop music has been a staple of American singing since the early 1900s. Quartets originated with African American men socializing in barbershopswhere they would harmonize while waiting their turn, vocalizing in spirituals, folk songs and popular songs. This generated a new style, consisting of unaccompanied, four-part, close-harmony singing. It lasted mostly until the 1920s. In the musical, The Music Man, barbershop music has a strong presence.
