The Kings Men Quartet

The King's Men Quartet. Unissued recording from 1934. Sheet music and photographs represent films in which the quartet was heard and (usually) seen. Many are not familiar with the King's Men Quartet, even though they are seen or heard in some very famous motion pictures. They formed in 1929 when Paramount was recruiting a quartet for the film Sweetie with Nancy Carroll. By 1934 the personnel became permanent: Ken Darby, Arranger & Bass; Rad Robinson Baritone; Jon Dodson, Lead Tenor; (Grafton) Bud Linn, Top Tenor. After appearing on and off camera in several important musical films (including Let's Go Native, Hollywood Party, Murder at the Vanities) Darby shipped an audition recording (a 16" transcription) to Paul Whiteman, who hired the quartet the same year, 1934
