Biography
The Four Aces, an American male traditional pop music quartet, originated in Philadelphia. The original members were Al Alberts, Dave Mahoney, Lou Silvestri, and Rosario "Sod" Vaccaro. They began their career locally in the Philadelphia area before founding Victoria Records to release their first single "(It's No) Sin" which sold a million copies. This success led to a signing with Decca Records, where they were billed as The Four Aces featuring Al Alberts. Their breakthrough came with hits like "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing", which won the Academy Award for Best Song in 1955, and other notable tracks such as "Three Coins in the Fountain" and "Stranger in Paradise". The group experienced several lineup changes over the years, including Alberts' departure in 1958. Notable members who joined later include Fred Diodati, Tony Alesi, Joe Giglio, Harry Heisler, Danny Colingo, and Bob Barboni. The Four Aces were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Philadelphia Music Alliance Walk of Fame in 1988. Original members Al Alberts, Dave Mahoney, Lou Silvestri, and Rosario "Sod" Vaccaro have all passed away.
