Mark IV : Mark IV   

Many personnel changes, some of them brought about by Uncle Sam, brought together the talented foursome that won the Gold in St. Louis in 1969. Mo Rector, fine bass of the '58 champs, the Gaynotes, baritone Dale Deiser, lead Alan Koberstein, and tenor Franklin Spears were years ahead of their time in finesse, warm rich sound, and overall musicianship. They only stayed together until 1974, pleasing audiences with their music and gracious personalities; but we are left with this masterpiece cd. Pure entertainment, from "Anything Goes" and "Daddy Sang Bass," to "Every Step Of The Way" and "If You Love Me, Really Love Me." 22 songs in all, a generous helping of the stuff barbershop is made of, the top of the Mark!
