The Suntones

The Suntones

The Suntones are a barbershop quartet from Miami, Florida and the 1961 SPEBSQSA international champions. At the time it won gold, the quartet featured Gene Cokecroft as Tenor, Bob Franklin as Lead, Harlan Wilson as Baritone, and Bill Cain as Bass.

The Suntones are notable among the barbershop community because they were one of the first quartets to perform show tunes and make use of hand-held microphones. [ [http://www.barbershopwiki.org/bin/view/Main/BSQSound BSQSound < Main < BarbershopWiki.org ] ]
