A MEGA RARE NEAR MINT 78 ON THE PYE INTERNATIONAL LABEL FROM THIS CLASSIC VOCAL GROUP -THE FOUR ESQUIRES
NON E COSI / LAND OF YOU AND ME
THE FOUR ESQUIRES
The Four Esquires were an American vocal group from Boston, Massachusetts.
Bill Courtney (lead singer) and backing vocalists Walter Gold, Robert Golden and Frank Mahoney were students at the University of Boston, Massachusetts, USA, in the early 50s who harmonized for their own amusement to whatever instrumental accompaniment they could muster.
Though popular locally, they waited until they were sufficiently schooled before becoming professional entertainers. After London Records signed them in March 1956, "Look Homeward Angel" was a turntable hit, but it was eclipsed by Johnnie Ray's version. Their workmanlike "Love Me Forever' (augmented with a female session vocalist's obligato), was overshadowed by a US cover version by Eydie Gorme and one in Britain by Marion Ryan. Nevertheless, it clawed into each country's Top 30 and peaked at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached #23 on the UK Singles Chart.
Unhindered by competition, 1958"s "Hideaway" also charted in the USA reaching #21.
While able to fill moderate-sized auditoriums and becoming a reliable support act in bigger venues, the Esquires clocked up no further chart entries and had disbanded by the early 60s.
This was their fifth release issued in February 1959. It never made the charts and is EXCEEDINGLY RARE!
