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.
Early pressings of "I Will Wait" b/w "Just to See You Smile Again" (Savoy 769) show artists' credit as "The Four Buds".
[1][2] 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 John "Gregory" Carroll.
Palmer and Carter were replaced in 1953, by Alvin Bowen and Maurice Hicks.
