[compiled from Wayne Francis' site and Songbook liner notes]:
"In high school Lightfoot formed The Collegiate Four, a barbershop quartet that in late 1953 won first prize on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's TV talent contest Pick The Stars. But when his voice, by now a tenor, dropped to a baritone, he lost his place in the group. Not to be outdone, Lightfoot formed a rival quartet, The Teen-Timers. He sang baritone with Terry Whelan, later his partner in the Two Tones (lead), Bob Branch (tenor) and Bill Hughes on bass. The Teen-Times placed second in the Ontario district barbershop contest in 1955."
