One of the greatest of all time! I am blessed to say that I grew up with them and have been great friends with them my entire life. It's amazing when your heroes are actually people that you see each week at chorus rehearsal! Love these guys!
There is a real something of the Osmonds about these guys. Especially the lead. But not just the lead. The whole thing gives Osmonds energy. I guess they did get their start in barbershop too didn't they.
The amazing thing about the Vagrants’ version is that none of the singers were actually singing that B5! From bass to tenor, they sang B3, B4, D#5, and F#5 - and they locked that chord so well, we heard a B5 overtone. That being said, it was Bluegrass Student Union that first showed me what an overtone was, when I heard their recording of “I Can Dream, Can’t I”
Cleanest chords and pronunciation I've ever heard in barbershop.
The true Lord of the Rings!

Bluegrass Student Union is your favorite quartet's favorite quartet
Always amazes me how there are so many outstanding quartets that have ever been and still a handful or so stand so tall about the crowd.
I knew the video right when I saw the thumbnail, i really like their rendition of this
BSU. Legends of the craft. Thankfully for us, prolific to boot.
Right on! Love how they pull this off no quartet sings it better!
My favorite quartet ever.
This brings back ancient memories; I was "there" in Cincinnati in '76 when they won.
That lead is the goat.
Been loving the BSU content!

GOATs
BSU is awesome. Kenny Ray Hatton (lead) is absolutely out of pocket in real life.
Hey I noticed the baritone line in bar 7 the word “With” should be an F#, not the G# that’s written.
I'm sorry but Tim Waurick has a cover of this song on his channel.....
True!
I prefer the one where the 1st tenor (I think) ripped up to a B6
That one goes crazy all the time. Believe it was The Vagrants
No way, B6 is crazyyyyyyyyy
b5 btw, the note a semitone higher is c6 :)
also the b is an overtone, I believe the tenor sits on a f#5 (unless you're talking about the tim waurick version)

Does the lead and tenor switch?
The lead took the high 3rd at the end.
The Vagrants did the best… I’ll die on this hill. 🫡
