1. The Diamonds (Canada). The original vocal quartet consisted of Dave Somerville, Phil Levitt, Ted Kowalski, and Bill Reed. When Kowalski and Reed left they were replaced by Californians John Felton and Evan Fischer.
In the beginning the group practiced several types of vocal styles, including four part "barber style" harmony. The Diamonds began their singing in local clubs, school functions, church socials, and anywhere they could find an audience.
They came to the attention of Coral Records, a subsidiary of Decca Records, where they covered two records, Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots ( a hit for the Cheers) b\w "Nip Sip" (a Clovers song) during the summer of 1955. Neither sold well enough to convince Coral to retain them. However, Bill Randle, an influential Cleveland deejay, liked them enough to mention their name to an executive at Mercury Records. the Diamonds signed with one of the labels that developed the market for "covers."
The Diamonds decision to cover rhythm and blues artist was the result of economic reality: cover records sold very well in markets where the original versions wouldn't be acceptable. Among their hits in 1956 were "Why Do Fools Fall In Love," "Church Bells May Ring," "Love, Love, Love" and "Ka-King-Dong," originally recorded by the Teenagers, the Willows, the Clovers, and the G-Clefs, respectively.
After their run with success in the 50s and 60s they continued performing till the present day.
2. The Diamonds are a brand new popgroup / boyband from Bergen - Norway.

on The Horizontal Lieutenant
Here you are. Never before posted!
THE HORIZONTAL LIEUTENANT by The Diamonds (lyrics):
1-2-3-4 who’s the guy the gals adore? The Horizontal Lieutenant
3-4-5-6 who gets all the dolls and chicks? The Horizontal Lieutenant
Though his army record was poor, he sure won the battle of toujour l’amour.
Hup Hup 1-2
One for all and all for who? The Horizontal Lieutenant.
(Musical interlude)
Who’s the guy the gals love most? The Horizontal Lieutenant
Who’s the favorite at the post? The Horizontal Lieutenant
Though his army record was poor, he sure won the battle of toujour l’amour.
Hup Hup 1-2
One for all and all for who? The Horizontal Lieutenant.
He was game with the dames.
He’s the most
He’s the toast
Here’s to our 4 star Horizontal Lieutenant --- Horizontal Lieutenant --- Horizontal Lieutenant
