The group appeared in one feature film, the Dennis Quaid / Debra Winger vehicle, Wilder Napalm. In the film, they sing Ring Of Fire, Heatwave, Duke Of Earl & I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire. In his book, American Singing Groups: a History From 1940 to Today, Jay Warner calls the Echoes "the West Coast equivalent of the best East Coast A Cappella groups of the last 20 years."[1] The Mighty Echoes perform regularly in Southern California and sporadically around the world. The group focuses primarily on songs either from or reminiscent of the classic doo-wop era.
