The Four Lads were a Canadian male singing quartet that earned many gold singles and albums in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Their million-selling signature tunes include "Moments to Remember";[1] "Standing on the Corner";[2] "No, Not Much";[3] "Who Needs You?"[4] and "Istanbul".[5]

The Four Lads appeared on many television shows, including The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom (1958);[6] Perry Como's show Perry Presents (1959);[7] Frankie Laine Time (1956);[8] and the award-winning PBS special, Moments to Remember: My Music.[9]

The most recent incarnation of the group featured lead tenor Don Farrar, second tenor Aaron Bruce, baritone Alan Sokoloff, and bass singer Frank Busseri.

The original quartet grew up together in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where they learned to sing at St. Michael's Choir School. The founding and core members were Corrado "Connie" Codarini, bass; John Bernard "Bernie" Toorish, tenor and vocal arranger; James F. "Jimmy" Arnold, lead; and Frank "Frankie" Busseri, baritone and group manager. Codarini and Toorish had formed a group with two other St. Michael's students, Rudi Maugeri and John Perkins, who were later to found The Crew-Cuts.[10]
