The Four Lads is a Canadian male singing quartet. In the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, the group earned many gold singles and albums. Its million-selling signature tunes include “Moments to Remember,” “Standing on the Corner,” “No, Not Much,” “Who Needs You ” and “Istanbul.”
The Four Lads made numerous television appearances including the award-winning PBS special, Moments to Remember.
The most recent incarnation of the group features Don Farrar (lead tenor), Aaron Bruce (second tenor), and Alan Sokoloff (baritone) and Frank Busseri (bass).
The original quartet grew up together in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and were members of St. Michael’s Choir School, where they learned to sing. The founding members were Corrado “Connie” Codarini, bass (died April 28, 2010); John Bernard “Bernie” Toorish (born March 2, 1931), tenor; James F. “Jimmie” Arnold (January 4, 1932 – June 15, 2004), lead; and Frank “Frankie” Busseri (October 10, 1932 – January 28, 2019), 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 become founding members of another group, The Crew-Cuts.
