Although I was born in 1958, my mother raised me on the music she loved. I had a portable plastic record player and listened to her old albums;
The Four Freshmen, Ella, Stan Kenton, and so many more including my all-time, any genre singer, Mel Torme.
You had most of all the greats...
The Four Freshmen were and continue to be the best vocal and instrumental jazz group ever.
Absolutely, they are ALL so very talented, each play more than one instrument, their harmony is to die for, their phrasing and breath control obviously practiced to perfection! I enjoy everything they sing. They also have performed with some great orchestras over the years.
I have treasured this album for 60 years.
そうですか！もしかして私と同年齢？
ABSOLUTELY THE VERY BEST QUARTET
These guys turned the clock back 60 years for me. I was a disc jockey in New Orleans and had the privilege to
Emcee this great group on stage. Unfortunately It was one of the most. embarrassing things to happen to me
In my career. I came out on stage to do the introduction and tripped...ooooooooh and fell flat out.
After a brief intermission I came out to intro the second half of the Concert and ask the audience to me a hand
For making it standing up. The crowd roar with laughter.
WOW!
Felicitaciones por recordar gracias a Uds mi lejana juventud.Muchas gracias
I have been a Freshmen fan since 1958 and have many of their albums, especially those from the early years. I am a bit disappointed in the recent groups who don't seem to have the "sound" that I have become addicted to over the years. I long for the solid, tight harmony that was their forte during that time span. I guess you can never go home again, even with the fabulous frosh.
After The Four Freshmen became so popular, many groups of three, four, even five tried to duplicate them, but to no avail! They're inimitable! Thankfully, we have their recordings!
LOVE IT! What a talented bunch of guys! I know it was in the 1950's when they first hit it bigtime, but I didn't hear them until quite a few years later, but I am certainly addicted to their music now!
Have always loved them and still do today in 2018
I was 14! Most of my friends were listening to Early rock and roll, My father bought our first stereo Record player, along with it was collection of LP Albums. To my great fortune this very album was one in the bundle. I was hooked on Jazz and the Four Freshmen.
This kind of close harmony singing is a lost art....
I had this album when it first came out, when I was in high school. One year later I saw them in Raleigh as a Freshman at NC State. The program was, I think, this exact album. They looked exactly like this cover, and the sound was this precise program. I was, and am still, amazed at the simplicity of the entire show....a very simple drum set, a few instruments...and the entire thing could not have been more perfect. I was smitten, as it turns out, for life.
Tim, I have loved thiss group since the early 50's. Glad you also enjoy great music. Cousin Ed.
John Timothy Ratliffe. you ain't alone.
I caught this concert at the Charlotte, N.C Colosseum in the Summer of 1958; Sonny Rollins was the lead-in artist, What a great show for a young man to see.
these guys are the best, saw them at the Frigate in Harrisburg, in the 70's. best show ever!!!!!
The harmonies of The Four Freshmen are timeless, and the boys started a musical movement in 1948 that continues to this day. Their current group continues to carry on their harmonic and instrumental legacy. (They all PLAY as well as SING, and are completely self-contained!) Catch them anywhere you can! I DO!
When I was about 13 years old and into the Beatles and rock I found this incredible vocal group and played it. Until l wore it out
Back in the 50's I had this great LP. Great memories.
When I first heard this album, I thought it was just four singers being backed up by a big band. Imagine my reaction when I learned that the Freshmen were playing those instruments and singing live...
I love this album. My dad bought it in the 1950's and I still have it. This is an excellent recording of it.
love them forever
Makes you wish it was filmed and put on video. Especially having seen these original FOUR - live on stage, doing some of the same numbers.
Para mim, o melhor grupo vocal de todos os tempos!
Wow I was 18 & I still Love Them 🎼🎼
me too
Indian Summer is transcendent with those far out harmonies. Props to Nelson Riddle too.
One of the most influential bands in rock history. Yes, I said rock.
I have this vinyl album, also. Great tunes, great swinging sound, beautifully recorded,
I love Ross's solo on My Heart Stood Still!
I wish he'd gotten all of Lorenz Hart's lyrics right: "My feet could step and walk, my lips could move and talk."
+Dennis Havens who cares!
The Four Freshmen historico cuarteto vocal, únicos e irrepetibles!
I saw the Freshman at the Holiday Inn at Abilene, TX in 1958. I was addicted even before then.
I am very envious of you position.
I saw them in 54 at Western Michigan , been a fan ever since,
in their day as progressive and talented as any other group of any era
I'm a Beach Boys fan...which means I am a Freshman fan!
They were an incomparable group¡¡.
Superb Music and sound .... Romantic. It was the perfect compliment to Peter Gunn, The Playboy Club, Jazz, Stan Kenton, New York and Tuxedoes. Music that built a mood, the sound so smooth and perfectly offered. Much reminds memories of College , first loves, second loves, travels to exotic places like Paris, Reo, SanFancisco, Hawaii, Miami Beach, and Aspen. Seasons accentuated with music sounds that encouraged thoughts of each as a cherished time in wonderful times of life and love.
Very good
WOW! THANKS FOR POSTING THIS GEM. BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER FOR THIS!
Wow another version of Holiday. Love it
I started listening to the 4F back in the late 1950's (as one of the young folks). Just found the recording Old Folks, meaning I qualify and am now waiting for them to take me away, but before I go; thanks to Ilaylnivag for the music.
I love them
At or very near 8 minutes is the best surprise ever !! The cute wee duck !!!
Ross called that we duck Leroy.
These great were credited with the inspiration for the Beach Boys
Thanks for putting this up..
I managed to buy "Four Freshmen and Five Trombones" - On a vinyl copy from a small specialist record shop . It is probably available these days on a C.D. . They can be hunted down if you search hard enough..But then again, in these RUclips days why should you bother? They are just a click away with your mouse!
I have the original release on vinyl. Great group.
They were so so good
please, is it Bob Flanigan singing Old Folks? oh my it's absolutely precious!
It's Don Barbour
San Eckelhöfer. If you listen to Ross at the beginning, he introduces his brother Don on guitar singing Old Folks
👂このセンス良さは！！ 楽器をPulyしながら・・・Voに多少の音程に乱れは、さて置き～第一級のエンタテインメントですナ。
クレイジー・キャッツの、敗北？？？
Saw them at MSU Coral Gables. In this Era. Met them at intermission. Very humble
Sweet Lorraine was so funny and unexpected! Anyone have a video of that performance, or now what he was doing to produce that sound?
Just his voice, Daniel!
There is a video of Sweet Lorraine on RUclips. It is as hilarious visually as it is musically.
I was there to hear him do in person. It was sort of kids making the Donald Duck sound.
I had this original vinyl record. Anybody know where I can get this on a cd. The original Freshman only
Most people That on a computer likely have the ability to Dub A copy on
Anyone know how they sing in that baby voice? What's that technology called? 7:52
Haha, no technology involved! That's Ross Barbour's "Leroy" character, you can find some clips of him doing the Leroy bit here on RUclips. He makes his voice sound like that by contorting his face and mouth a certain way.
It is called buckle speech. It is air in the cheek, not vocal. The singing is done by tightening or loosening the cheek. Very difficult to learn as an adult, he began practicing it as a child.
.. ppl po
Which guitar was don barbour using for this live album?
is there any place on the internet where i can listen to 'the four freshmen live at penn state' live album?
People don’t realize where Brian Wilson got his inspiration…..
The best version of The Four Freshman
