I'm a little older than the newest generation (I'm 27), but I have an enormous appreciation for music like this. At 11 years old, I was glued to my local "oldies" radio station-- Kool 105 in Denver. The beautiful harmony of groups like Simon & Garfunkel, Brothers Four and others were fundamental pieces to my musical experience. Trust me, I'm not the only member of the "new generation" that deeply loves music like this.
The good thing is that, some young people are starting to reject the soul damaging, satanic garbage imposed on them nowadays, and are listening to this kind of real music instead. I find that very encouraging. Play this to your youngsters and see what their reaction is.
A very professional 4 blending voices... original with their individual musical instruments blended as one. Bravo to this prestige ALL SEASON SINGERS, .... you are number ONE!!!!
Smartly dressed young gentlemen. Masculine, kind, respectable gentle men. The line “ ‘Twas so good to be young then” makes me grateful I was indeed young back then when this was the quality of music you heard on the radio every day.
They were 10 years older than me, but I have listened to them in France since I was able to obtain their records, it was the time when everything had meaning, texts and melodies that “qui tenaient la route”* as they say in France *that stand the test of time
These are the American boys I remember when I first set foot on US soil, they were respectable with high morals. These days are different. What happened?
The original Brothers Four. Dick's amazing tenor has graced many songs. I have always had a soft spot for Island In The Sun by Lord Burgess (Irving Burgie) and Harry Belefonte.
I think of the Caribean Isles I was cruising as master of ceremonies at the SS New Amsterdam.. Thank you Brothers Four for Island in the sun so harmonious songs! But also The green leaves of summer is still up to date!
Yes! like I never born before this song of four brothers, you know? like I am mesiry of four brothers ,I am born of too late,but I like there song...the words is good brothers group...
Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, your shining sand As morning breaks the heaven on high I lift my heavy load to the sky Sun comes down with a burning glow Mingles my sweat with the earth below Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, your shining sand I see woman on bended knee Cutting cane for her family I see man at the waterside Casting nets at the surging tide Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, your shining sand I hope the day will never come When I can't awake to the sound of drum Never let me miss carnival With calypso songs philosophical Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, your shining sand Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
This music island in the sun and greens sleeves of summer is the best music to me coz when I'm a kid my father sing this 4 me my teArs started to fell when I hear dis music remind me of my loving caring father. .
Before and during the Beatles era, these guys and Ricky Nelson taught me how to song and appreciate different types of music as a .kittle boy, merely by their recordings and Tv appearances. They once appeared on Ozie and Harriet show...if I hear them on a oldies channel or whatever singing a song I never heard them sing....I immediately know it;s them. Unmistakable sound and blend of voices. Remarkable harmonies and intonation. Total class, and they didn't have to carry weapons to prove a damn thing.
I shed ed many tears on these songs, thinking what the democrats and liberals, and foreigners, have done to this country, to tear down its history, tradition, its values, and to try to replace it with some kind of evil, I yet don't know its name.
Seriously takes me back.. This era we're in now really doesn't cut it, as far as I'm concerned. About the only thing I can say favorable for this cyber-internet era is the added plethora, ease of access, of reading material.. So picked up a new favorite quote this AM (online).. -Kierkegaard: "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use." Yea.. .Like we just totally wear out our freedom of speech, right?! It's speech freedom so long as it's speech conformity.
Fratboys from Washington State I believe...harmonies that always stayed with me when I heard my brother's record of this in the 60's. I think this was used in the original Alamo movie. Just great!
This is terrific. I did not think there was a live version of Green Leaves of Summer extant. The Brothers Four have , I believe, arefinally getting their recognition 50 years later. Thanks for this!
these songs deserve to be preserved for the new generation to hear..
Thanks Dina for tuning in.

Superb! Like the Kingston Trio these boys were top folk singers of the 50s and 60s.

Island in the sun reminds me of my beautiful country Trinidad and Tobago
I love the blending of their voices....so Professional!
Where have those good old days with enjoyable music gone?

Bring back the Folk songs! Thank you for the music.
Feels so good listening to this kind of music ❤️
Try to imagine the attitude and mentality of our culture back then. Bit of a different world now. Totally terrific.
Not only the US, Canada or even Australia life was a lot simpler more enjoyable!
There is never a day that I don't listen to their songs especially " Island in the Sun."It reminds me of my life on the island
These songs reminds me my high school days.
Harmony that remains unchanged even after a lot of time passes

Lovely quartet boys their mellow voices compliments with each other... backed with their super mellow big bass, banjo, and guitars.

Even the audience was respectful, young men wearing coats and ties no less!

Digital media in all its forms happened, We are ripe for that wellknown decline into oblivion

Harry was THE MAN!!!
Superbi.
Hi, even now i love their songs ! i'm 77 years old !
wow!!!! so powerful. I thought Harry Belafonte's version was the best version but this one is just magical.
It was good to be younger
To be close to the earth
When the catfish were jumping
As high as the sky.
I listen to them every night before I go to sleep…
Love them so much...
Lovely song 2020
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
The same DNA makes the PERFECTION: You close your eyes and you hear ONE VOICE quadruplicated , multiplied by 4 !!!!

Fantastic those simple, stressless and gay days of our childhood. From Camiling Tarlac PHILIPPINES
EVERGREEN Brothers Four is my youth itself.
Forever, Brothers Four!
beautiful songs I learned to appreciate because of my parents....
צלילים שקטים וחרישים משכנעים יותר בעוצמתם מאשר קולות אחרים!כי הם נכנסים ללב במהירות גדולה יותר ! ! !❤❤❤
I think of the Caribean Isles I was cruising as master of ceremonies at the SS New Amsterdam.. Thank you Brothers Four for Island in the sun so harmonious songs! But also The green leaves of summer is still up to date!

So lovely and heavenly
The Brothers Four is my first album record I bought in my life in 1971 when I was high−school boy in a remort small town in Japan.
What a class they had !!!!
This kind of oldies, asians love so much. We learnt English by the lyrics.
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
As morning breaks the heaven on high
I lift my heavy load to the sky
Sun comes down with a burning glow
Mingles my sweat with the earth below
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the waterside
Casting nets at the surging tide
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
I hope the day will never come
When I can't awake to the sound of drum
Never let me miss carnival
With calypso songs philosophical
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

They performed it live at the 1961 Academy Awards, but I'm not sure the footage is available.
Such kind of a music is the true way to make our life better and the world around perfect.
@@janhammer39 Thank you so much for your response-sorry I was 6 years late, but I finally found it. Thank you again Mr. Hammer!
