They sold over 50 million records with hits such as Moments to Remember, Standing on the Corner, No, Not Much, Who Needs You? and Istanbul. The Fifties had them riding high with their own TV show and personal appearances all over the country. Their harmonies became one of the fondest memories of that era. The Four Lads Book looks back at the music and the four men who made up this beloved group. From their beginnings as choir boys in Canada to the days when they were top recording artists, for the first time their story is told in detail. Fan club newsletters and pictures from their 1950s heyday provide rare insight.
