The Four Buddies


The Four Buddies were an American doo-wop group, based in Baltimore, Maryland. They recorded in the early to mid-1950s, and focused on melodious and laid-back ballads. Their biggest hit was "I Will Wait", and they recorded for Savoy Records.
Early pressings of "I Will Wait" b/w "Just to See You Smile Again" show artists' credit as "The Four Buds".
Members included Leon "Larry" Harrison, who went on to form a group in May 1953 called simply The Buddies; William "Tommy" Carter, Vernon "Bert" Palmer and Gregory [Carroll |John "Gregory" Carroll]. Palmer and Carter were replaced in 1953, by Alvin Bowen and Maurice Hicks.
Roger Wainwright, Luther Dixon, and Danny Ferguson recorded with Harrison for Glory Records in 1955.
