the Fantastic Four who were the crucial inspiration for Brian Wilson's Beach Boys and a multitude of others who we all know, reincarnated here in a superb re mastering of their voices and instruments...it's Magic! Thank you for this !
WOW! Still magic after all these years! Never to be out-sung as a group, the FOUR FRESHMEN -- we love these great old songs by the greatest four ever! Thanks so much for posting.
I love these guys. Wish I'd known about them when I was young. Individually, they were NOT great (or even very) professional singers. But together... Magic!! Group singing often does that. See: Barbershop harmony. Such timeless tunes. And this crap about the arrangements or the band? Don't forget, they all played instruments, so were quite possibly some of the soloists!
For many years now I've come to TFF fan sites such as this, as the day draws to a close. What better way to sign off than reminiscing over the days of my kind of music. My thanks to 'haru oh' for putting this wonderful selection together, and to the music lovers who have added their lovely comments; it all makes for a pleasant hour before turning in . . .
At about the 31 minute mark, they sing Imagination. The King Sisters were great admirers of the Four Freshman and recorded their great arrangement of Imagination in the 50's.based on Four Freshman concepts. The beautiful FF adaption of the King Sisters' version is a wonderful tribute back to the King Sisters who they greatly respected.
Recorded in 1962 !!! Orchestration and arrangements seem absolutely correct for that time. Quite lush, sometimes overdone, but that's what "adult contemporary" (a later genre cat.) sounded like then.
No vocal group could touch The Four Freshmen. The later Four Freshmen groups were also very talented. I'm not familiar with this particular album they released. Wonder who the band was. Very good arrangements.
My only complaint is the inclusion of Tom Dooley. Just does not fit with this great Playlist. Some don,'t like the orchestra and arrangements. They're fine but the mix is a bit uneven. Great vocals. Thoroughly enjoyable!

they set the standard in jazz standards, with jaw dropping band and solo accompaniment

Thank you for this !
You've been a solid favorite since you began 70+ years ago at Butler University in Indianapolis. Your replacements over years are perfect.
Lo mejor...ojalá regresaran esos tiempos.
First time to hear this one. Started in 1949
Just a superb group, with a great orchestra to back them! What a listening pleasure it is! (That kind of harmony never gets old.)

You know they’re good when you and your mom love listening to them and even went to a club to see them together
DEFINITELY the best quartet!!
An incomparable musical legacy, and all success to those who are carrying it on.

They sound so much like The Beach Boys.
@@MichaelLantz Old timers, upon first listening to the Beach Boys in the mid-1960s, were reminded of the sound of the Four Freshmen.
Great album. I don't know how I missed this one. But-that's the beauty of You tube and people like haru oh. Thanks.Keep'em coming.
Timeless...........
A sound like no other. Good to know that their musical legacy is in very good hands.

Kaizer-Man thank you :)
Does anybody know what year was this beautiful album recorded? Sounds to me like late 70s or 80s....
Sighs. ❤❤❤
Sighsss.

Fabulous harmonies, poor arrangement.
Agreed the band feels as though it should have been in some other studio
The Four Freshmen are great but that awful band and arrangements
No one asked you to like this arrangement.
