    My memories from the original Four Freshman during the 50s but this group is wonderful too.

    This was the best Four Freshmen since the originals. The strings are marvelous.

    A great standard so well sung by the Four Freshmen. Music as it was meant to be.

    Such harmony these Four had, it's even more thrilling with the orchestra. I've been a fan of The Four Freshman ever since I can remember, and that's a long, long time! Thank you for posting, I used to sing this song also, years ago.

    • @dcasper8514
      @dcasper8514 5 років тому +1

      patricia hodges. But the youth of today won't accept this musical sound.. Not fast & loud enough for them. Too much old people music.. Watch the kids jump out of their seats to cheer & applaud whenever a "singer" hits the top of his vocal range on America's got Talent ..That to them is talent.

    • @mjleger4555
      @mjleger4555 2 роки тому +1

      @@dcasper8514 Correct, sadly, few of today's youth thrill to the old romantic songs, they want loud noises, pyrotechnics, concert crowds, girls throwing their hair around and sweaty wild antics on stage -- NO class! Strange music, that grabs you everywhere but in your heart! I'll be back to listen to TFF and more, relax, remember better times, and yes, maybe shed a nostalgic tear or two in remembering "THE WAY IT WAS!"

    Это нам напомнили то время когда все казалось в оптимистических тонах и мы так были уверены в себе... но тем не менее не умели многого сказать, и не успели всего сказать... Сейчас словарный запас 😍 намного больше и больше эмоций, но... уже поздно...? Это так?
    This reminded us of the time when everything seemed in optimistic tones and we were so confident in ourselves ... but nevertheless we did not know much to say, and did not have time to say everything ... Now the vocabulary 😍 is much more and more emotions, but ... too late...? This is true?

    These foolish things etc '

    I don't know how I lost the Story of the man who saw them at Facks11 in San Fransiico, I DID TOO! Those were the ORIGINAL 4! They would "Kibitz" with the audience, and since we were close to the stage Bob Flanigan (Base player and last original active singer, before becoming their manager) asked my Girlfriend: Are you with him? (pointing at me) GF: "Yes" Bob F: "Lots of luck!!
    The harmony that the Beach Boys Tried to steal! Thanks for the technology they will LIVE ON FOREVER!!
