In 1951, the Schmitt Brothers won an international singing competition, besting the top 40 quartets in the U.S. and Canada. They blasted to fame in 18 short months and didn't stop singing for 35 years-making them the first to win on their first try and the longest performing quartet to retain its original members. But there's more to the story. The Schmitt Brothers were really brothers-from a family of 17. They were devoted husbands and fathers-with 35 children among them. They were businessmen and civic leaders-who never missed an opportunity to serve and promote their community. They traveled more than 2 million miles and performed in 3,000 programs including the Ed Sullivan, Arthur Godfrey and Lawrence Welk shows as well as Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden and the top stages in the country. The Schmitt Brothers were capable of perfectly blending delicate tones, thundering crescendos, cascading decrescendos and chords that-if you didn't know better-made you think there was an entire orchestra backing them up. For everyone who heard the Schmitt Brothers, the magic of their singing brought harmony and joy to all who knew them. This is their amazing story.

There are eight Schmitt Brothers in all, and one of them is even a girl. The oldest, Anne (the girl), is a tomboy as a way to survive. Fritz and Zach are aspiring mad scientists who wile away their days building their inventions. Lester is their lab rat/test dummy. Roscoe, the family tough guy, plans to be a cop when he grows up. Stanley is a natural-born comedian. Gus is a schemer, always thinking of a way to make a buck. Fuzz is the youngest. By the time he came along, mom was burned out, so he was essentially raised by his older brothers; consequently, he has no concept of "normal" behavior. Dad encourages their creativity while mom struggles to cope. Together, they all live in the Brick Schmitt house, and every day is filled with mischief, mayhem, and magnificent adventure.
