Biography :

The group consisted of Buck Farley (lead vocals) Doug Curran (tenor) Bob Miller (baritone) & Don West, (bass) . They went out to BYU (Brigham Young University) and they sang around campus as The Casuals.  They had studio musicians & recorded "Snowbound" and "Pretty As A Picture" in Hollywood. It charted & was on it's way to becoming a big hit until the name "Casuals" was discovered to be taken by another group first, so they were unable to use that name.  This didn't stop them however, & they continued to perform for many, many years after this under another name. Doug Curran later sang with the Lettermen.
