The Revelers were an American quintet (four close harmony singers and a pianist) popular in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The members of the original Shannon Four came to New York, each seeking a musical education and a career. They were introduced to one another when the Victor company organized them into a quartet to make popular recordings.

The quartet, organized in 1918 as ’The Shannon Four,’ masqueraded under more than a dozen names and appeared on 16 commercial radio programs, and at one time appeared on national radio networks for four hours a week. Individual members of the quartet also did solo work on other radio programs, including the Atwater Kent, General Motors, Mobil Oil, and RCA Victor programs. For a time, the quartet plus their accompanist were billed as either the Palmolive Revelers or the Raleigh Rovers.

Three of the four singers (Shaw, James and Glenn) remained together from the start and only once was the accompanist changed.

In 1938, the Decca label reconstituted the group around only two of the original members, Glenn and James, as The Revelers, but with a much larger accompaniment of organ, violin, vibraharp, and celeste.
