American vocal ensemble popular in the 1950s and early 1960s.
Stone formed Herby Stone And His Pebbles shortly after the end of WWII, which by 1947 had evolved into The Kirby Stone Quintette (later shortened to Quintet). The Quintet had become a Quartet and then simply a Four. The group appeared on television and in nightclubs across the USA (including their own Kirby Stone Fourum club in New York City), and toured overseas.
The group charted once in the U.S. with the song "Baubles, Bangles & Beads", which hit #25 in 1958.
