They are best remembered for their cover versions of "Standing on the Corner" and "A White Sport Coat (And A Pink Carnation)".
The group was composed of three brothers who first performed together professionally in the 1950s on the children's television show All Your Own. Initially performing as The King Three, they appeared on the BBC Television early in their career on Six-Five Special, and by 1957 had been named "top vocal group" in the reader's poll of NME. Their first hit on the UK Singles Chart was their cover of "A White Sport Coat", which hit #6 in 1957. In October 1960, they were again voted "top vocal group" in the NME reader's poll. They had a string of successful singles through 1961, after which time they continued recording but found their popularity waning.
Group leader Denis King later worked in composition for television, film, and musicals; among other things, he wrote the theme music for The Adventures of Black Beauty and Lovejoy.
