The 1950’s Fabulous Foursome! This   is   a   fan   site   of   the   original   Diamonds   of   the   1950s. All hailing   from   Canada,   they   made   their   way   to      the   U.   S., and   with   their   songs   and   energy,   endeared   themselves   to their fans forever.

Seen   through   music   history's   rear   view   mirror,   The   Diamonds   were   the   most successful   white   pop   group   of   the   mid   '50s,   however,   many   listeners   believed we   were   black.   We   showed   up   seven   times   on   Billboard's   R&B   charts.   We were   fortunate   to   have   had   cross-cultural   acceptance.   Our   contribution   to   that era   may   be   described   as   catalytic,   in   that   we   bridged   black   and   white   singing and   styles   of   arrangement.   During   our   five   year   recording   career   we   sang both   original   and   un-covered   songs   of   a   half   dozen   east   coast   groups.   During the   fall   of   1957,   we   performed   with   Rock   &   Roll's   first   major   tour.   We   are thankful   to   have   been   recognized   by   four   Halls   of   Fame.   Gratifying   for   four blue-eyed semi-virgin white guys from Toronto.__ Dave Somerville Personnel: Lead-David Somerville.
