'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.
