Chameleon was a vocal group founded in 1989 by Ivor Novello Award-winning composer Nigel Hess,[1] and featuring former Swingle Singers member Olive Simpson (soprano), Lindsay John (alto), Jeremy Taylor (tenor), Michael Dore (baritone) and David Beavan (bass). They were best known for performing the theme tunes to several British television programmes, and for their cover versions of popular folk music.

Chameleon's debut album Saylon Dola won the Music Retailers Association award for "Best MOR Vocal Album" and was re-issued in 2005 to celebrate the group's 15th anniversary.[2] The title track, "Saylon Dola", was covered in 2001 on The Voice by Russell Watson and Máire Brennan, although the song was performed in Irish, translated by Máire Brennan, instead of the original Patagonian Welsh.
