The Four Coins

The Four Coins

The Four Coins were a popular vocal group, consisting of Jimmy Gregorakis, George Mantalis, and brothers George and Jack Mahramas. They were all of Greek heritage and came from Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, also known for Perry Como. A local orchestra leader, Lee Barrett, took them to audition in Cincinnati, Ohio and this led to their cutting some high-charting records and appearing on television.

In 1970, however, they left show business to tend to family obligations, not performing again until 2003, when they did two final shows back in their old home town.
