Have watched this a hundred times or so over the past ten years. Still my favorite quartet out of the many stellar quartets down thru the years. That last tag is to die for.
It's a nice change to see/hear Jeff sing a bit higher in the first song than he normally does. What a beautiful voice. The best bass barbershop will ever see.
Holy crap!!! I got goosebumps all over my body when that final note resolved! I can't watch this without a huge smile breaking out on my face. Love it!! :D
Like WeightlessAnchor said, that's Gary on the Ab. It may be written with the lead going up to the Ab on the sheet music, but that isn't how they sing it. If you listen to it on the album or on any other Max Q You Can Fly videos, you can tell it's Gary. Also, if you listen carefully, you can hear Gary's characteristic addition of color at the end of his note, right as they cut off. Plus, just look at him rev into that last note!
My body just jolts when Jeff sings "We stick together we can see if through cuz." He is by far the best singer in the group. Although they all are amazing.
I've got this song on the For The Children CDs and they lock and ring the chords just as well live. Good ringing and bouncing back echoey acoustics that might be why.
Every time I listen to this, I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes. These songs + this quartet = perfection. Plus, my boyfriend loves Toy Story and Peter Pan, so it always makes me think fondly of him :)
they're awesome. i'd give anything to be in a group like that! I love the a capella groups but i just found out about maxq. i love on their albums how they dub themselves over - i do recording like that so i really appreciate it when it's done well!
@TNfireman38 Jeff Oxley (the big guy) sings bass through most of the song. When he moves up to the lead part, Gary Lewis (baritone, far right) takes over the bass part. They match voices so well you can hardly tell.
@BHS2011able It is DEFINITELY Gary on the high octave on the last chord of "You Can Fly" - sorry, but you missed it. You can also notice that Tony pulls away from the mic earlier than Gary, which is why the 5th disappears from the chord earlier than the octave. Gary held onto the octave a little longer than the others held onto the chord.
Mario Hernandez-Gerety you might be my favorite barbershopper on BE, man. In every controversial thread that we've both been on, or that you've posted, we've had nothing but agreement with each other. Gary's on that high A, 100%. Gary usually takes the high octave and Tony usually takes the 5th.
I know the sheet music and i know Max Q, i dont want to start anything but even on the CD it has Gary going up on the high Ab. I saw them live i used my ears and its Gary.
I still come back to this video regularly. When I posted my first comment (15 years ago), I had no idea how big barbershop was or who I was telling to "keep it up"! Now, even the idea of trying to be encouraging to Tony DeRosa makes me laugh but hey, it was all in good spirits. This is a huge, positive community!
@6vocals9 I found the arranger and the site. I don't really know all that much about purchasing arrangements with a 'arrangers fee', but it's $125. The guy's name is David Harrington and has a site called studiodh. If you just chuck that into google you'll find him. I find the price a bit steep...
2 things... 1) holy shit bass man you got some pipes on that 20 second finish you had!!!! 2) holy shit everyone else for such an amazing finish as well
@brianisawesom I think he pretty much always sings bass. I've seen one video where he sings lead on the Star Spangled Banner. He gets his solos, though.

How is it even possible for humans to produce such a sound? It's absolutely amazing.
Revisiting this after about ten years, and the undertone at 5:18 is about as good as it gets.
That "You Can Fly" tag ending gets better every time I hear it.
Best SP I've ever seen. Looks so ridiculously comfortable. They make you love them the moment they get on stage. Definitely something to aspire to.
Never seen the tenor look so comfortable in the quartet as in the first song - looks really natural. Great video.
20th time ive watched this. How many more times do I need to watch this before it gets boring? I say infinity lol
Infinity and beyond
Have watched this a hundred times or so over the past ten years. Still my favorite quartet out of the many stellar quartets down thru the years. That last tag is to die for.
Astounding. Simply astounding. It is not possible that there is a better quartet than this.
Favorite movie of all time, probably best song for a movie ever as well
THEY NAILED IT!
The tag at the very end is by FAR the best ive ever heard. its unbelievable.
It's a nice change to see/hear Jeff sing a bit higher in the first song than he normally does. What a beautiful voice. The best bass barbershop will ever see.
I love watching these guys perform together.
I just love this ending. I never get tired of hearing it - ever! ♥
Holy crap!!! I got goosebumps all over my body when that final note resolved! I can't watch this without a huge smile breaking out on my face. Love it!! :D
Damn. The overtones ringing out on the last chord were amazing.
I love belting the C# along to this recording at the end of "You can fly", the arrangement really flies.
Absolutely amazing a cappella group. Love it!
Dude. My ears just came. Respect.
this makes me happy....i love Disney music! Their rendition is just great!
i can’t help but keep going back to this performance. it’s just so entertaining and impressive. also, it’s an a natural post at the end ;)
I got goosebumps at the end.
It reminds me of a group from the 70's called the KINGSMEN out of Atlanta, Georgia.
I've seen this video about 15 times now, and it's still just as great as the first. ^.^
Best tag I've ever heard!
how can you NOT smile after listening to this? it's brilliant :D
wow! amazing sound! I love the last held note by the bass!
U guys r GREAT...
Thanx for sharing....
Celestino...
i just love this video, i listen to this almost every time im on youtube!
This made me chuckle especially the cubby one

Fantastic performance!
This is great!! You've all got a real talent! Keep it up guys. Really enjoying it!!
My body just jolts when Jeff sings "We stick together we can see if through cuz." He is by far the best singer in the group. Although they all are amazing.
Easily one of the best acapella sounds on RUclips.
I have to get this CD for my kids!!! My boys will go wild!
That is why Jeff Oxley has been dubbed the greatest voice barbershop has seen.
Fantastic!
they are amazing!!
From the second Jeff (bass) takes the tag on in "You Can Fly" everything in my body wakes up.
I've got this song on the For The Children CDs and they lock and ring the chords just as well live. Good ringing and bouncing back echoey acoustics that might be why.
man, the tag to you can fly is soooooooooo epic!!!
Yall did a great job on u got a friend in me
Every time I listen to this, I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes. These songs + this quartet = perfection. Plus, my boyfriend loves Toy Story and Peter Pan, so it always makes me think fondly of him :)
they're awesome. i'd give anything to be in a group like that! I love the a capella groups but i just found out about maxq. i love on their albums how they dub themselves over - i do recording like that so i really appreciate it when it's done well!
This makes me want to start my own barbershop quartet!
Man, just listen to Oxley start to pour it on why before the last chord! His volume increases amazingly! Wow! Awesome tag!
awesome, smiles all round! :)
@TNfireman38 Jeff Oxley (the big guy) sings bass through most of the song. When he moves up to the lead part, Gary Lewis (baritone, far right) takes over the bass part. They match voices so well you can hardly tell.
LiveFromWonderland I swear that Gary will be the first guy to win gold on all four parts.
Max Q is what you could call a group of bad asses
got goosebumps
@BHS2011able It is DEFINITELY Gary on the high octave on the last chord of "You Can Fly" - sorry, but you missed it.

Francesco Logozzo Haha, thanks! It's good to know that at least one person agrees with me! lol
Greg sings tenor . . . .
Ralph Priessman - Greg Clancy does sing tenor, but we are talking about Gary Lewis, not Greg. :)
i love this vid and max q
I LOVE the chords at 2:37-38, 3:30-34, and pretty much ALL of you can fly!
That overtone an octave above the tenor's A was SCREAMING.
Cool! Just found your CD's on iTunes.
The big guy has an awesome voice
WOOOOOOOOOOWW!!
Gary on the Ab at the end! Always.
Amazing :)
best note ever! 6:26
I know the sheet music and i know Max Q, i dont want to start anything but even on the CD it has Gary going up on the high Ab. I saw them live i used my ears and its Gary.
3:42 that chord is gold!
Holy Jesus fucking Christ. I wasn't expecting that ending at the very end of the video. Fuck. That was impressive. Goosebumps guys, keep it up!
9 years later, I still watch this video often. Amazing renditions!

yeah, that's a sick tag on "You Can Fly".
i think its funny how far greg popped forward from jeez GREAT sound guys keep singing!!
3:40! Best Part EVER!
such sustain
Love, love, love!! Can you still get their cd's? Haven't got this one and would love it.
Oh my GOD! So fucking good.
Is their music on cd to buy?
They should be performing in Carnegie Hall in tuxes
whaw, NICE job guys :)
3:51 👌💯🔥
Beautiful at 4:22, nice low chord.
W-O-W!
Jeff must have not been feeling 100%. He coughed like 3 times or so during these two songs. He's still da man!!!!!!!
The guy on the far left sounds exactly like Woody! This song is so good.
starting at the left, the 3rd guy looks like the guy who plays the sidekick in the pink panther movie.
The chord on "friend" at 3:42 is a Major 7th chord in root position.
@6vocals9 I found the arranger and the site. I don't really know all that much about purchasing arrangements with a 'arrangers fee', but it's $125. The guy's name is David Harrington and has a site called studiodh. If you just chuck that into google you'll find him. I find the price a bit steep...
2 things...
1) holy shit bass man you got some pipes on that 20 second finish you had!!!!
2) holy shit everyone else for such an amazing finish as well
Are you kidding me?! I'd kill to have that!
Cory Hunt is coaching mine, he lives in reno, I live in carson just 30 minutes away. He's pretty good.
Fuckin' Gary Lewis on the last chord of You Can Fly. Unreal.
I have to agree with Paul, Tony's singing the fifth, Gary's up top. And, not to add to the argument, but it sounds closer to an A to me...
@brianisawesom I think he pretty much always sings bass. I've seen one video where he sings lead on the Star Spangled Banner. He gets his solos, though.
toy story:D i love this song!
one of the sickest tags ever. 6:00
I feel good that I can do the 20 second bass finish lol.
And the end Tony hits an A natural to the A major chord ending on "You can Fly", if thats what you mean.
3:26 - Somebody almost sounded like Louis Armstrong!
look at oxley just hold out that tag
What are those medals from, if this is from 2006? They won in 2007.
You can fix the aspect ratio of this video easily by adding this to the video's tags:
yt:stretch=4:3
nice XD
shit, they are good
he's on the high Ab :)
Lol gary lewis is my choir director. Its him on the a flat. Asked him myself
Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
where was this? an afterglow? Obviously something casual!
does anyone know the chord on the word "friend" at 3:42?
Go tenor!!
...and Gary Lewis. :)
