Description
A major 2CD celebration of this early R&B vocal group's recordings released between 1946 and 1958. The Four Tunes were originally formed by an ex-member of The Ink Spots and this is the first time these 57 amazing tracks have been compiled together!
Their career took off in 1953 with "Marie" and their 1954 hit "I Understand", both of which were later revived in the '60s by groups such as The Bachelors, The G-Clefs and Freddie and The Dreamers.
The incredible harmonies and complex vocal arrangements of The Four Tunes bridged the transition between groups like The Ink Spots and the R&B groups who ruled the 50s.
