The Four Mints has been played over 10 times on NTS, first on 28 January 2018. The Four Mints's music has been featured on 9 episodes.

Columbus, Ohio natives' Ben "Pete" Caldwell, James Brown, Donald Russell, and Jimmy Harmon were the Four Mints, a band who recorded for Bill Moss' Capsoul Records. The label's roster also included Johnson, Hawkins, Tatum & Durr ("You Can't Blame Me"), Kool Blues (a duo featuring John Prim and Bill Gilbert), Marion Black ("Go on Fool"), Elijah & the Ebonites "Sock It to 'Em Soul Brother," and Ronnie Taylor ("Without Love").

The group's first single "You're My Desire" got limited play in some minor markets. Caldwell, the lead singer, wrote both sides of the mid- tempo wailer (later included on a handful of compilation albums, including Dynamite Soul Harmony, and a Northern Soul favorite).

The second release was their finest moment, the floater "Row My Boat," led by Caldwell and written by Dean Francis. It was a favorite of young groups and bedroom-mirror singers, and always brought ovations when performed by locals at talent shows. "Row My Boat," hit the R&B charts, and was their biggest record. The success of "Row My Boat" prompted their only LP, Gently Down Your Stream, in 1973. (Bill Moss reissued the LP on CD in 1995, as The Original Four Mints.) The success of "Row My Boat" took the Four Mints gigging to the Washington/DC area, Kentucky, Indiana, and Michigan. A third and final release, "Can't Get Strung Out" (released in 1973), never got started; disenchanted, the fellows disbanded. Caldwell has passed, but the rest still resides in the greater Columbus area.
