The Four Preps

The Four Preps features original lead singer Bruce Belland with Bob Duncan, former leader of the Diamonds, Joe Dickey, of the Crew Cuts, and Skip Taylor.

Their first million-seller was "26 Miles" (Santa Catalina). It took the country by storm in 1958 and soon the group was featured in LIFE magazine, on countless Ed Sullivan and American Bandstand shows and signed for an engagement at the world famous Coconut Grove.

The Preps’ status as superstars was confirmed later that year when they Co-starred in an Emmy-winning T.V. Special with Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Louie "Satchmo" Armstrong and Rosemary Clooney and then capped off the year by being honored as "Newcomer of the Year" by Billboard magazine.

A long string of hit singles followed. "Big Man", "Down by the Station", "Lazy Summer Night", “Got a Girl” and “Gidget” all hit the charts.

In 1989, after a 20 year hiatus, Lead Singer Bruce Belland re-formed the Four Preps at Dick Clark’s suggestion. Now you can enjoy the 50th anniversary version of The Four Preps.
