The Four Mints were a soul group from Columbus, Ohio, active during the 1960s and 1970s. The group consisted of Ben "Pete" Caldwell, James Brown, Donald Russell, and Jimmy Harmon. Their first single was released in 1969, receiving limited play in minor markets. Caldwell, the lead singer, wrote both sides of the midtempo ballad, which later appeared on compilation albums like "Dynamite Soul Harmony" and "Northern Soul Classics." In 1971, they released what is considered their finest moment, led by Caldwell, which became a #1 record in Columbus and a regional hit along the Eastern Seaboard and throughout the Midwest. The single "Row My Boat" hit the R&B charts and became the group's biggest record, garnering enthusiastic responses during performances. To promote their popular single, Capsoul organized a successful regional promotional tour covering areas such as Baltimore, Washington D.C., Kentucky, West Virginia, Indiana, and Michigan. The group's only album was released in 1973 and performed well, but a third release that same year did not chart. Disenchanted by this, the group temporarily disbanded not long after. In 1995, Moss reissued the "Gently Down Your Stream" LP on CD as part of the Numero Group Label.
