    N.Y. and N.J. are neighbors, so, apart from the #1 record,

    it is on YouTube, but a bit tricky to find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk0hsrOfyEI
    however, this is not true R&B, they sound like excitable white frat boys

    The Four Guys on Mercury were two sets of brothers - one set black
    (Billy & Larry Austin) and one set white (Bert and Dee Carroll). They
    were buddies since high school in Brooklyn
