Anyone Else But You - The Four Quarters

This great doo wop song was written for us by Bruce Hamby (who also wrote In Time), and arranged by Kevin McSheffrey. It will likely be one of the cuts on our CD with Crystal Ball Records, and may also appear on an LP with OId School Records! We would like to thank Bruce for all the great opportunities he has found for us, since he was the first one who "discovered" us, on behalf of Crystal Ball Records. Thank you Bruce, it's a privilege to work with you and to sing your great songs!
As for our solo CD, we have set a date to record our last few songs. We'll head to the studio July 17th, and the CD should be released in the months to follow. We will also be putting a bunch of new videos on YouTube over the next little while, as the four of us are spending lots of time together this summer!
Thanks for watching, we hope you enjoy, and as always, please subscribe and check us out on facebook too!

I must say Ladies, whenever I want to relax and enjoy some beautiful and talented singing, I definitely make a stop at YOUR SITE on YouTube! Thanks for sharing your talents with the world. If I may ask, are you all in college together, and how did you come to form your singing group? I still look forward to hearing you lovely ladies do a cover version of "Crazy Love" by Van Morrison!

[TheFourQuarters]

@HOTTIUSMAXIMUS They are all in college now, but at different places.

Lovely ladies, I've spent the last couple of days watching your outstanding and generous talent wonderfully captured on video for our enlightenment and entertainment, and am an instant, appreciative fan. All my years as an accompanist, I recognize your pure tone and evident enthusiasm and professionalism, and I applaud you. Congratulations! Very much looking forward to your recording and hopefully lucky to acquire one immediately. All my best wishes for your future endeavors! - John Campos

@prufrock27  Thanks for your kind words John. I knew you were a man of the arts as soon as I saw your user name as a tribute to T.S.Eliot. Kevin.

You girls are really amazing, such range and a real feel for what you are singing. I grew up in the doo wop days and you would have been tops back then. Keep up the super fine work. You really need to do your own CD.

[TheFourQuarters]

@deal1006 It's done, and expected to be put out by Crystal Ball Records perhaps as early as October.

wow! another great Doo Wop harmony from you girls! I bought the cd Doo Wopin Around the World an i think you girls should compile a cd of your own. Not that i disliked the cd, i just would rather hear more from The Four Quarters. Hope to hear more tunes in the future!

@jrs1010 sorry about the multiple posts Nothing happened the first time I tried to post this, and You Tube said it wasn't going through. Then I come back today, and find that I somehow posted the same message four times. Go figure ! :(

Have you ever heard "Big Town Boy" by Shirley Matthews & the Big Town Girls? Shirley was also from Ontario and her song reached #4 on CHUM in Toronto in 1964. It's a good doo-wop "girl group" tune that I think would be perfect for you!

You can find it here on You Tube...

ANOTHER 5*****

@jrs1010 The Four Quarters were originally organized to be a general purpose quartet and just sort of stumble into doo wop when they got a strong response on one of their videos. They probably would do well in that hybrid territory performing some former pop tunes.

[jrs1010]

@Jazzbeu55 Being a doo-wop fan, at first I thought you were talking about the Earth Angels, a Spanish male doo-wop group that has been doing quite well recently.(They have made successful appearances in American rock 'n' roll "oldies" shows.) But now I see that there is also a British female vocal group called the All Angels that does classical cross-over or "operatic pop". Perhaps the Four Quarters are actually sort of a hybrid between the two!

[Jazzbeu55]

@jrs1010 I will concede that you are right about the Chordettes. They were more a doo wop era pop group than a true doo wop group. The groups you mention are all better examples. Still, the Four Quarters, with the wide variety of music they sing. are a bit more like the Chordettes than the groups the other groups mentioned. In the unlikely event they were to go professional, they would do well to model themselves after either the Chordettes or perhaps England's All Angels.
