Label: Craftsmen

It's Jack Benny Show time...Audiences throughout the country settle back to enjoy, of all things, the commercials. These are made positively palatable by a group of men known as the Sportsmen Quartet. Taking a popular tune, they usually sing the first chorus as written by the lyricist, then they cleverly alter the lyric to coincide with their sponsor's message. This has become a trademark of the group.
With years of personal appearances behind them in the nation's leading clubs, theaters and hotels, The Sportsmen are familiar figures and voices, not only with Jack Benny but with Red Skelton, Shower of Stars, Tennessee Ernie Ford and the Colgate Comedy Hour.
The Sportsmen are long time favorites in fabulous Las Vegas spots such as the New Frontier and the Flamingo. Reno and Lake Tahoe are also ports of call for this quartet where they have delighted holiday-makers at Riverside and Mapes Hotels and at the Cal-Neva and Harrah's Club.
