Above: Photo of The Four Of Us from 1945, consisting of (L-R) Lou Chambliss, Don Worth, Charles Cota, and Jack Monan. In the center is Alice Faye.From Judy Cota Jones (daughter of Charles Cota): My dad would talk about how many other groups used to come and listen to their harmony. They inspired groups such as the Four Freshmen, the Hi-Lows, the Ames Brothers and others. Besides their unique harmony, they also did comedy singing by changing words to popular songs. They worked with Peggy Lee, Kay Starr, Nat King Cole, and I can remember when they went on tour all through Canada with Mark Stevens, an actor/singer.
