Biography

The King Brothers, a British pop vocal trio consisting of Denis King, Michael King, and Anthony King, was formed in Essex, United Kingdom. The group began performing professionally on the TV show Shop Window in 1952. Initially known as The King Three, they gained early exposure on BBC Television's Six-Five Special. By 1957, they had been named "top vocal group" in the reader's poll for the NME and released their first hit single, a cover of "A White Sport Coat (And A Pink Carnation)", which reached number 6 on the UK Singles Chart that year. In the following years, the trio continued to release successful singles, including covers such as "Marianne" (1957) and "Standing on the Corner" (1960). Their popularity began to wane after this period, though they continued recording until their disbandment in 1967. Denis King later became an award-winning composer for television, film, and musicals, notably writing the theme music for The Adventures of Black Beauty and Lovejoy. Mo' Heat, a collection of their greatest hits, was released in 2001.
