NOTE:

1. The Carolina Boys was not technically a new group, but was legally a new group under rules at the time. Following the stroke that debilitated Kingsmen Quartet owner Eldridge Fox in 1996, the group was managed by his son Greg. In 2001, the group was legally sold by Greg Fox to Charles Burke who retired the group. Bass Ray Dean Reese organised the remaining members of the former Kingsmen as the Carolina Boys, with Reese owning the group. The new name and owner (Reese) allowed the group to be declared a "new" quartet. The legal issue of the name was resolved in 2004, after which the group's name changed back to the Kingsmen Quartet following Burke's sale of the name to Reese.

gollark: I assumed it was something about continuity/smoothness. The space-filling curves' mappings and similar things aren't very smooth.
