I need this on a medic alert tattooed to my skin. If that ain' it, I don't wanna

Joe Williams appears to be the son of Count Basie (see 4:15" ). And the drummer, Steve Williams, is the son of Joe (see 38:30" )

The lyrics of the outro (39”) reflect a time when patience was still a virtue (could not find a name of the song though) : "Time goes by so fast it seems to me. We’re never really free. Some things should not matter quite so much. And some will never be. One fine day you look to me. We’ll have moments two or three Keep me close to where you run to hide. I am never hard to find. Take your time. But save that time for me."

The talented, modest jazz singer Joe Williams was quite a big name in that era. The backtracks on that era in between the songs offer an interesting atmospheric view. The setlist: 1” Every day I have the blues (reworked version by Peter Chatman alias Memphis Slim in 1949) 4:50 The Come Back (Peter Chatman alias Memphis Slim, 1953) 10:00” Once in a While (Edwards & Green, 1937) 15:10“ The same old story (Benard Ighner) 21:46” Everything must change (Benard Ighner) 27:30” Who she do (Joe Williams) 34:00” All right, Okay You Win (Count Basie Orchestra & Joe Williams) 36:00” Stella by Starlight (Victor Young) 39:00” Outro 42:30 Encore: Cherry Red (Joe Turner)

Why did Bob Ferrara shave his head? He looks much younger with this cut.

Year of performance?

Simply breathtaking.

"It's called FRIED BUZZARD - one of the delicacies in Mississippi, but it Swings like mad"!! HAHA - - Trombonist John Fedchock's Comp/Arr - it does Swing LIKE MAD!! @13:20

Of all the vocal groups, four freshmen my favorite

Ron Carter...total class!...

Would this be in the late 90’s?

Kevin is one of the best trombonist ever to pick up the horn

muy buen edion

Thrilling.

9:31 wonder what the camera guy was thinking about at that moment 😂

If Taylor S is worth a billion, Maureen and 4F should command 100 times that amount. The problem is unmusical amateur singing assaulting the public with forgettable "original" music. Long live The Great American Songbook (an endangered canon).

The 4 Freshmen are dead - who are these people?

Unless One Is not perfectly tuned.

Night Train Lane 🚂 was a monster then and still is one of, if not the, most feared defensive players ever. Go Lions 🦁

Song name?

What year is this from?

That'd really good video for 1964. Thanks for sharing. I only seen the Tigers back then. I was only 6 years old in 1975 until December

MAN! You cut off the tag to Come Sunday!

Hank!

Lions.

The BEST of T HE BEST!

yes

Maureen McGovern! 💕

I still have this on VHS!

They are entertaining but lack the sparkle the original four had with the off note harmony sound that was so distinct. I was a DJ when the Four Freshmen hit the air so l pushed everything they did. It was almost a mania! Here came the Four Lads!! What happened to good music?

super belle hommage !merci

Thanks, my favorite jazz group. Shallom - Indonesia

Oh man this is awesome! I barely remember going as a kid maybe 4 years old freezing and Dad, Uncles drinking heavily LOL thx for posting!

No disrespect to the great Johnny Mercer, Jo Stafford, The Pied Pipers & Paul Weston's orchestra--------but listening to TMT do this 40's classic, they really do own this song. Such total class, the likes of which we'll not see or hear, ever again. --------MJL, 76 y/o

This is real singing ----------for adults ---------never, ever tire of hearing them.

I'm in tears. 41 years ago ! We thought the music would always be, this good. Nothing fake----auto-tuning not needed ! The Real Deal, RIP Tim Hauser.------MJL, 76 y/o

Love-------LOVE-------the sound of The 4 Freshmen, no matter which iteration it may be. it's a sound of comfort-----of 4 part harmony we just don't hear enough . --------No matter which group it is, I say 4 Freshmen, Forever ! -------MJL, 76 y/o

24:01

This folks is Class, singing & harmony, the likes of which we'll h=not ever see or hear, ever again . I watched this ! ---------------MJL, 76 y/o

I really liked the group with Bob, Brian, Vince and Curtis for their harmonies but this version had to the best Jazz chops bar none.

Simply the best.

Love Billy

I saw them live at the Michigan State Fair in about 1954.

My favorites from this Candy 5:58 Unforgettable 7:58 Love Dance 22:30 Angel eyes 43:34 Day in Day out 40:32 Other great freshmen songs: Day by Day Over the Rainbow In this whole wide world After you

From late 1999, broadcast in NYC in 2000. Flanagan's gone now. They started in 1948, Butler Indiana. Kenton came thru one day and eventually got Capitol Records to sign them. Their first hit was a song Capitol thought would flop, it was called It's A Blue World and put the 4 guys on the map in 1952 I believe.
