THE FLORIDA BOYS QUARTET

You can see by the amount of albums I have that the Florida Boys are one of my favorite groups.  The Florida Boys Quartet was formed in 1947 by J. G. Whitfield.  They became very popular in the late 1950's and early 1960's after assembling one of the finest quartets ever, including Les Beasley (lead), Coy Cook (tenor), Glen Allred (baritone), Billy Todd (bass), and Derrell Stewart (piano).  They were one of the first Southern Gospel groups to have a television program.  Tenors and basses have changed some over the years, but Les, Glen, and Derrell hung in there.  Sadly, the Florida Boys retired as a group in 2007, but they still rank among the all time greats.
