Rad Robinson's association with
The King's Men quartet was his primary
profession, beginning in 1930. From 1934 to 1937 The King's Men
(Ken Darby, Arranger & Bass; Rad
Robinson, Baritone; Jon Dodson,
Lead Tenor; Bud Linn, Top Tenor, were a feature
of the Paul Whiteman Orchestra on
RCA records and the Kraft Music Hall. They subsequently appeared with
many other orchestra leaders, including Rudy Vallee. They were heard,
and sometimes seen, in many feature films, including
Sweetie (1929) (My Sweeter than Sweet),
Hollywood Party (1934) (Feelin'
High), Tabiata âşık (1930)
(title song),

Murder at the Vanities (1934),
(Lovely One) and notably
Oz Büyücüsü (1939), in
which they are the off screen voices for the Lollipop Guild. On screen
they were remembered as the singing cowboys of the Hopalong Cassidy
films. In the costume party scene of the film
Honolulu (1939) the King's Men play the
Marx Brothers (Robinson plays the wavy-haired Groucho). For a few years
they were associated with the Music Department at Disney Studios

Pinocchio (1940), and on the
long-running radio show "Fibber McGee & Molly." The King's Men group

Bing Crosby's original recording of "White Christmas." When not
singing, Mr. Robinson was the entertainment contractor for the five
Howard Hughes hotels, based in Las Vegas.
