For several years the musical group on the Fibber McGee and Molly radio show was The King's Men. They were an interesting ensemble. They performed very smoothly some difficult pieces, but when the individual members would sing solo, their voices do not sound very outstanding. Evidently they know to blend well, because the final effect was good. The first tenor was a little irritating, though. He sang all the high notes in falsetto, and it did not come off very well. It was all in tune and seamless, but it sounded like falsetto, and thus had a little bit of a "tinny" quality.
By the way, if you want to see the quartet in action, they appear early in the movie Heavenly Days as soldiers on the train on which Fibber and Molly are traveling.
