I remember seeing them at the Casino theatre in Toronto and waiting for them back stage many, many years ago. Three Toronto St. Michael's Choir Boys with great talent. Many years later Jimmy Arnold, the tenor, came to our home with a realtor looking for a new home, he didn't buy ours but had a great talk with him a really nice man. Connie Codarini was my favorite but they were all marvelous.
I miss that type of music but at least I have the memories.
Fantastic clip - the album that Frankie refers to was the first one I ever played, discovered in my father's collection - an old torn cover and a scratched vinyl, but it still sounded fantastic. It's now available on iTunes too, and both these tracks appear. Thanks so much for uploading the video
My dad was good friends with them in Toronto (where the 4 lads are from), and they asked him to join their group. My dad asked his singing teacher about it, and he told my dad "Oh Lou, those singing groups are just a fad!". Needless to say, he took his singing teacher's advice....oh well.
This was from Frankie's 1956 summer replacement series for "ARTHUR GODFREY AND HIS FRIENDS" [Wednesdays, 8-9pm(et), CBS]- the announcer doing the Pillsbury "Kit Cake" Mix spot is Godfrey's announcer, deep-voiced Tony Marvin...
Thank you markalson1938, that was a great video clip. I have been a great fan of Frankie Lane all my life, I do remember when he had his own show. I seen him when he appeared on TV for the last time singing Thats My Desire and at 91 he still sounded great.
Very good...I am not Christian, but I very much enjoy the talent of these men. Thank you.

@luma2822 Memories are for most people the most valuable thing they have.

Always loved the tenor's voice - so clear and a pleasure to listen to.

Loved the vdo clip. The 4 Lads were my favorite vocal group at that time.
One of their "oldest" fans.

Yes, I think The Four Ladds were the best group of the fifties. Team them up with the best singer of that or any period, well how could you go wrong?

do they still have kit cake? Anyways, the four lads are awesome singers and PERFECT harmonisers.

Ever hear of a little known song recorded by the Lads, called;
"the Place Where I Worship"?
.....is the wide open spaces, built by the hand of the Lord.....
