A Web Site with a "GOLDEN TOUCH"

GOLDEN TOUCH

This a cappella quartet from central Florida performs in a wide and varied range of styles. Their diverse repertoire includes music from Vaudeville to contemporary selections from the stage and screen. They specialize in performing music first made famous by such noted quartets as the BUFFALO BILLS, the SUNTONES, and THE FOUR FRESHMEN. This depth of variety, from the traditional to the sublime, makes GOLDEN TOUCH a favorite with audiences throughout the state.

GOLDEN TOUCH features solos by Bob Franklin, lead of the great 1961 champion SUNTONES. First introduced on the nationally televised Jackie Gleason Show, Bob's styling of "If You Can't Tell the World She's a Good Little Girl," is sure to delight. Also featured as a soloist is the young talented tenor, Joe Lamy Jr. His stylings of "Danny Boy" and "Where is Love" are reminiscent of the golden age of Broadway.
