The 4 Of Us
are a rock band from Northern Ireland. Of the four founding members, only brothers Brendan and Declan Murphy have remained continuously part of the group; the occupants of the other two positions have varied. The 4 of Us released their first album, Songs for the Tempted
, with CBS Records in 1989, from which the single "Mary" reached No. 1 on the Irish charts. Consequently, the album went double platinum in Ireland and won Best Album of the Year at the Irish Music Awards, defeating the internationally-known act U2.
The album Man Alive
followed on Sony/Columbia Records in 1992, and was considerably less successful than its predecessor; after this the band lost momentum and disappeared from the public eye for some years. They did not separate, however, and eventually returned to recording albums, releasing Classified Personal
on a private label in 1999 and Off the Record
on EMI in 2000. In 2003 the single "Sunlight", which would appear on the 2004 album Heaven and Earth
, began to receive heavy airplay, marking the group's first major commercial success since their first album. In November 2006 the band released their most recent album, Fingerprints
.
"Sunlight" was voted fourth in a poll to find the 'best Irish single ever', conducted by the national radio station, Today FM.
