Larry Banks

Lawrence H. "Larry" Banks (3 October 1931 - 26 February 1992) was an American R&B and soul singer, songwriter, and record producer. Banks was born in New York City and grew up in the Flatbush area of Brooklyn. His father, Arthur Banks, was a bass singer of religious and classical music, who also performed as a member of a barbershop quartet. In the early 1950s, Larry Banks served as a US Marine in the Korean War, and on his return in 1953 formed a singing group, The Schemers, with former members of another group, The Four Toppers. This group soon broke up, and in 1954 Banks formed The Four Fellows, whose members were Banks (baritone), David Jones (first tenor), Jimmy McGowan (second tenor), and Teddy Williams (bass).
