The 3 founding members of The Sandpipers (Jim Brady, Mike Piano and Richard Shoff) first met while performing in the Mitchell Boys Choir. The choir had been put together in the 1940’s by a guy called Robert Mitchell and they had performed in numerous films including the Best Film Oscar Award winning ‘Going My Way’ which starred Bing Crosby. Along with a guy called Nick Cahuernga, the 3 started out calling themselves the Four Seasons, but changed their name to The Grads due to the rise of the Four Seasons featuring Frankie Valli. Around this time Cahuernga dropped out of the group. As The Grads they built up a reputation performing at Harrah’s Lake Club in Nevada and came to the attention of Herb Alpert who signed them to his A&M records where they changed their name to The Sandpipers after their first single failed to do anything. A few further singles were released before they managed to crack the US Hot 100 with 1966’s ‘Guantanamera’ which went to 9 and managed a peak of 7 in the UK. They saw 3 further US and 2 further UK hits but none peaked higher than ‘Guantanamera’ in either country. Note: There was a folk rock group in South Africa in the 60’s who also called themselves The Sandpipers, but they were a different group
