The Hi-Lo's

The Hi-Lo's

The Hi-Lo's were an "a cappella" quartet formed in 1953. They named themselves the "Hi-Lo's" to emphasize their collective vocal range. The group consisted of:
* Gene Puerling, bass-baritone, arranger and leader
* Bob Strasen, baritone
* Bob Morse, baritone and occasional soloist
* Clark Burroughs, tenor

In 1959, Don Shelton replaced Strasen. They are considered a musical influence on groups like The Manhattan Transfer, Chanticleer and The Free Design. They were also supported by Frank Sinatra. One of the arrangers, and their pianist for years, was Clare Fischer.

Bob Morse died in 2001. Afterward, Puerling, Shelton and Burroughs still appeared very occasionally as the Hi-Lo's in and around Southern California. An accomplished reed player, Shelton has been a member of Clare Fischer's bands. Clark Burroughs is semi-retired and can sometimes be heard on film soundtracks.

On March 26, 2008, Gene Puerling passed away just shy of his 79th birthday.
