The quartet began in 1958 and became sufficiently well known to garner a guest appearance on television's nationally syndicated The Mike Douglas Show in November 1968.[1][2] After first qualifying for international competition in 1959, it was in Atlantic City in 1970 that the Oriole Four finally won SPEBSQSA's gold medal.[1] The following year, baritone Fred King directed the Chorus of the Chesapeake to its second international championship, held in New Orleans.[3]
