    I'm blown away. Lost for words. That song was written the year I was born. Eighty four years later this group makes we want to live another eighty four years when there are groups like this bringing the songs of my youth back to life. God bless you guys and gals.

    Can you believe that talent like this exists and is unknown to the masses? This group should be doing super bowl national anthems.

    Hey, cdmjazz. It isn’t often you read about the 4Freshman and the HiLo’s. I just turned 90, so that means I was a jazz a cappella fan way back when. I even sang in a quartet while at Washington University back in the early 50’s in a competition which for years was barber shop renditions. We won it two years running with 4Freshman songs. I have loved jazz for most of my life which means I was listening to the big bands, especially Basie. Love Manhattan Transfer. Now I listen to Pentatonix, Quad and now these guys. A cappella is alive and well!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻

    Love this! This was my wife’s and my wedding song 30 years ago. We just celebrated our anniversary and I recorded it for her as a surprise...me and piano accompaniment. Your version is stunning. I absolutely loved it. Thank you for posting it and having such heavenly voices that perfectly blend together. Bravo!!

    This song has always been a favorite of mine and I’ve heard many artist’s rendition of this over the years but this is by far in a unique class of its own. The vocal arrangement is first class. If I may I would just like you to consider an idea I have for that climatic tag ending you do so flawlessly well. At 3:47 when you guys sustain the word “night”, I think it would have an even more dramatic effect if the female lead singer “waits” a little and render “the nearness of you” rubato style instead of coming in too early. Other than that, Mr Hoagy Carmichael must smiling from ear to ear after listening to you guys perform this classic, historic and beautiful song. Keep up your magnificent work! ☮️🙏🎵🌺

    It's hardly the "elevator music" of jazz. It's the Schubert, Beethoven, and Ella Fitzgerald of jazz. It's the very essence of jazz, the very essence of music. Whether it's jazz or not jazz, however you want to categorize it, it's world-class magnificent!

    It brings back memories of my old vocal group back in the late fifties and early sixties. We were singing Freshmen and Hilos songs when all are friends were into Do Wop. Maybe that's why we never made it. We were behind the times, or maybe we were too far ahead...who knows. Keep doing what you're doing. It's so beautiful. Love the arrangement. Hoagy would be proud.

    I have never heard you guys before. Where have you been? NIce sharp 11 ornamented resolution in the Alto at the end. Very creative writing there and throughout this Hoagy Carmichael classic. Really wonderful tone, balance and blend. Velvety Soprano, solid warm bass, and exceptional/beautiful singing in the inner voices as well. All the elements of a fine vocal jazz group. Keep up the great work! I am a fan. Do you just sing a cappella (I would have no problem with that, the way you sing) or do you also sing with a trio?

    So I think the very definition of creativity is taking something that everyone has access to (in this case a voice and four friends) and with the application of talent, commitment and time… turn something so mundane into something so magical and astounding. My God you guys are wonderful, off to see if I can find more stuff from Highline! Hoagy would be proud.
