Actually, I hate to throw in a possible monkey wrench into all your research but...there is a very distinct possibility that the performers for that song could be The Scala Youth Choir. If you look up Scala & Kolacny Brothers' album Dream On, although that particular song doesn't appear on it you can see that this is the exact style of the song.
I also love the rendition on The Sloop John B on the promo piece and have also been doing exstensive research to find out who it is.

i'm heartbroken...i hadn't joined until today, but check twice daily to see if the song would ever appear, but now it has....only 30secs...i feel so broke up...i wanna go home *cry...

they should record it and sell it on iTunes...

Heck I'd buy it twice!!!!

is there any like link to where the 30 second clip might be?

GOOD NEWS!

I contacted the Indianapolis Childrens Choir to confirm their partcipation in doing the :30 sec recording of Slopp John B for Deadliest catch.
the response i got is

It is indeed the same Indianapolis Children's Choir that did the "Sloop
John..." for the program.

Fingers are crossed.

I too talked with someone (via email) at the Indianapolis Children's Choir and was able to confirm that they did in fact sing the 30 second clip for the Discovery Channel. Who knows maybe with our support they will commission the full version.

Wow... It took an hour to get here but I am finally making progress finding this song.

I've paid for about a dozen songs in my life and this is one I would actually throw some money at. The full version has my support! Hope to see an update on this thread soon!

I e-mailed ICC to show support for a CD containing the full track and received the following response:

"The recording was done here in Indianapolis, but the Indianapolis Children's Choir does not own the recording or the rights to it.

It was just a small segment of the song that was recorded. We really are overwhelmed by the response that clip has received.

I wish we could help you obtain it, but do not even have a copy of the recording ourselves.

joined the forum just to add my support for this version of the song. will also write to icc.

I would like to show my support too. Even if we can have the 30 second version that would be great.

Joined to show my support too, wish someone had recorded the 30 sec clip of it.

Out of a silly worthless coincedence I happen to have a copy of the ICC's version of "Sloop John B" Its not the complete song, but is slightly over a minute. They are unable to record it themselves because the Discovery Channel owns the rights for their version. I had a friend who was in college working towards a musical doctorate and one of his assignments was as an assistant instructor working with ICC. After hearing it rehearsed daily he fell in love with the piece and brought a digital recorder to work one day. Never occurred to anyone it would be a special clip until years later when it was finally used on the show.

So where can we get a copy? What format?

Its just on his computer. I will have him burn me a cd and I'll happily email it to ppl.

You can sign me up.
