my mom had this on an old 45 as well as tragedy by the fleetwoods. they were my most memorable songs. Brings to mind the crests and Brooklyn bridge. Sit back and relax. Beats the living daylights out of anything aired on the radio now. guess I'm the old fogy we worried about in the 60's Been to Nam twice done that. Long for the old times.
The Baby Boomers and, to a lesser extent, Gen X used the world like a disposable lighter and left our children nothing but the ruins of a civilization...
RIP Four Freshmen Ross Barbour you are the last to leave us. Although this is the original version of this song, for my generation it will always be the Beach Boys version that I remember. The influence you had has been past on to future generations to copy and refresh, your style is timeless as are your recordings.
For the 8th Grade Graduation we're singing this song ... the other 170+ kids who aren't in the choir suck at singing it.. and we also changed the lyric to :"At the dinner dance we danced 'til nine and then you shared your heart with mine" we're also singing it WAYYY faster :)
Our graduation in The Irvine Bowl in Laguna Beach, California was made even more special by the playing of this song GRADUATION DAY by the fantastic Four Freshmen. Day by Day and other songs were also very special. RIP Four Freshmen.
I wish I could've lived back when this music was still being played. I don't get to hear this kind of talent on the radio anymore. I'll be graduating highschool in 2013, and odds are the song being played for our graduation is gonna be some auto-tuned, rap song that requires no talent to make. The music I like that's closest to this time period is probably the rock music in the 80's. From the 90's on, I just can't stand the music. :(
I graduated in 1957 and we always said that we were the lucky generation. Most of us were born before WWII and lived through the war listening to big band music. But when the 50's came, we initiated the era of rock and roll. Our music of the 50's was an inspirition for countless groups to come. Music from groups like the Four Freshmen will last forever because it is etched in our memories like all the rest of the music of our highschool days. Bravo to 50's music and the memories. The Centurion
@BlowThemAllAway the hilos said the critics liked them but they went over the audiances head by the time the beatles happened they were passe the beach boys didnt have the same problem they could sing and play instruments and write music
I am 26 and I love this music. What changed in our society to create the garbage we've become accustomed to? Sure, soft rock music today can be good, but no one listens to it, rather rap and heavy metal/rock. Music like this proves times were so much more innocent, I wish I could have seen the fabulous fifties.
@meloyellowduck It happened gradually. Music was phenomenal from ancient times up through the early 1970s, as far as I'm concerned, the decline of music began with disco, then in the 80s it went further downhill with Madonna, new wave, hair bands, etc. Then grunge in the 90s was the beginning of actual bad music, then Britney Spears around Y2K was another step down, then in the 00s the downhill fall ended in a splat with Fifty Cents and Soldier Boy. Some newer stuff is ok, but hard to find.
I have been playing guit for 50 yrs ,Never heard anybody sing this well organize. NT even the beach boys. they both do a fantastic job.The freshman can play anything.The harmony is awesome. nino12342
I was raised to Freshmen music. When I finally received my MSW after many years, we played this song on the way to and from Commencement. Great tune, great memories, outstanding message. Thanks, gentlemen.
This song is so closely related to Moments to Remember by the Four Lads. Both songs transcend that feeling where you can look back fondly on the past and remember the good times when everyone was so carefree and the world was a much simpler place. I miss this beautiful harmonizing by the great vocal groups of the 50s. Although I was quite young, nevertheless I could appreciate and still remember their greatness at their craft.
It was listening to the music of the Beach Boys that introduced me to the music of the Four Freshman. Such an awesome song. It's great the Four Freshman are still active as a group even now in the 21st century! I have a feeling they and other Traditional Pop bands are up for a bigtime comeback in 2010 :)
If I'm not mistaken, Don Barbour was the baritone voice on this, not Ross. My memory is not what it used to be but I also think this is group No.2 with Ken Errair having replaced Hal Kratsch. Right or wrong, the Four Freshmen will forever be the music of my life. There are plenty of musical memories in my 76 years but nothing, I mean nada, will ever surpass those FF sounds.
SAME HERE! i remember seeing them in san francisco with my girl(at the time) in the early 50's at a small club on market street. i have all their recordings.
@linnlane I have most but not all FF records and/or cds. The Tokyo is the obvious gap in my collection. We don't get around as much as we used to but we've been lucky enough to have seen them live many times over the years. First saw them live at the Cafe Charmont, Juarez, Mexico in 1955.
What i percive in sounds of harmonies the different is the Four Freshman has a
more of a jazz mixed sound. The Four Prep has a more Traditional sound and they both are great. Thank you guys so much for the great music. Aloha (Loko Maka'i) from the Heart.
Thanks for putting us in the same class as the Frosh. Ross Barbour - their original baritone - actually got up on stage with us at a recent cconcert and we all harmonized on Graduation Day. What a thrill and I've actually got the video of it all. There will never be another group to equal their musical innovation and creatvity.
You ALL were absolutely great! I really miss your kind of harmony and style...don't know how the kids today can prefer the loud jamming and screaming they call music.
@TheFourPreps I love the Four Freshmen as well. AND, Mr. Belland, I can't tell you what an honor it is to reply to a comment from you. I am only in my twenties, but I love music from this era, and your group is a sincere inspiration to me. Thank you for all your wonderful hits, you came from a very special time, and I wish I could have lived in it. Your music is very spirit-lifting, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
i'm 16 years old and i listen to pretty much music genres like: hiphop, soul, rock, funk, jazz, folk... but there's nothing even close to this kind of music. it brings me so much pleasure! i can keep listening to this music every day, it's wonderful.
I'm Bruce Belland - Lead Singer of The Four Preps and I will tell you all that NOBODY had a stronger impact and influence on the Preps than this phenomenal foursome. It may be hard for non singers to appreciate, but no one before or since has done the kind of harmony they sing.
You bet they were an influence on all of us. Idols is more accurate.
This was the first FF song I ever heard in 1957 and I was hooked! My lucky brother and his lovely wife are (as I type) flying back to the UK from Atlanta where this year's annual Four Freshmen Convention has been held. My adorable wife and I must wait until next March when we are going back to Plant City FL to see them (saw them in Ft Pierce FL this February).
Just to back up the clock and calendar to the happy time of the early 50's and hear the Four Freshmen coming over the radio, the juke boxes, and college concerts - what a wonderful time and memory
Always listening to good music - it makes the world a better place,
This was our class song as we graduated from Rancocas Valley Regional High School, in 1956. What in heavens name could the HS kids of today have as their class song? This just brings the memories back. For many Reasons, not the least of which is the music,I am glad that I was raised in the 40s 50s and 60s.
@burner0815 Don't knock ANY generation (or birthdate). They all have their pros and cons. I was born at the end of 1935, enjoyed I life (yesterday was my 75th birthday. And, if possible, I would love to live forever. The past was good and the future is better. Overlook the problems and enjoy the benefits of modern inventions.
Oh, by the way, yes, Graduation Day by the Four Freshman, was one of my college song highlights.
@mpeindms I understand what you're saying, but I'm honestly worried about much of today's generation, those born from about 1989 onward in particular. Technology has done wonders for us, but they are more dependant on it than people of your generation or even mine ever were, they're less active, interact less in person preferring to text message, struggle to do basic math (two digit addition and subtraction) without a calculator, and are addicted to video games and the internet. I'm worried.
@MVillani1985 Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
That's from Chicago Tribune's columnist Mary Schmich who wrote the words in a June 1, 1997 column.
@burner0815 I also grew up in the 90s (born 1985) and can relate entirely to what you said. I envy my parents generation (grew up in the 50s and 60s) and my grandparents generation (one set grew up in the 20s, the other grew up in the 30s and 40s). While technology has improved quality of life, longevity, and had made life easier, I'm honestly concerned about those born from about 1989 onward due to their dependance on it. I'd gladly take the 50s over today, even though many endured hard times.
@hfelknor I too graduated from high school in 1956 and like you I am glad I was raised in 40s, 50s. In July of 1956 I joined the Navy and I can remember listening to this song when I was in boot camp in San Diego and I must admit that I would get extremely homesick when I heard songs like this.
@hfelknor On the bright side, many of young people born 1960 and beyond are rediscovering this great music thanks to YouTube. On many songs I see people between 10 and 50 saying they love the golden oldies.
@hfelknor those were the greatest years ever. I graduated in 64'. Lucky for me I realized in late 62' that it would soon be over. My childrern have no good memories of their school days. They disliked most of their teachers and coaches. Whereas my fellow students and I had an enormous love for our teachers and each other. To this day we still do. My high school football coach is battling alzheimers. My former team mates and I visit him often, though he lives far away.
@hfelknor I'm a sophomore in highschool singing this song with a choir at a senior dinner in a few days. This song sounds phenomenal! I really do actually like stuff like this, The Ink Spots, Sinatra, and a lot of the music from back then. But my choir is really awful sounding, and I can't stand turning great music into garbage. For an overall graduation song for my highschool, I'd choose Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams. But if I were to sing a solo for graduation, it'd be My Way by Frank Sinatra :)
@hfelknor I wish we could enjoy classic memories like this too but the people who raised us didn't leave it nice enough for the next person.. If you know what I mean. Sucks, Wish we didn't have T.V. either because all that's on is a update for the current public war we are in, and pregnant teens. (:
@hfelknor I graduated in '56 also & when I hear the rap that these kids today go for I have 2 wonder, especially when it contains all the foul mouth language, if one of these songs will becomce the favorite of one of today's couples.
When they R in their 70's I can just imagine the nostalgia, romance, longing 4 just a moment 2 B way back there when they fell in love, looking in to each others eyes & saying "Oh Hon, they're playing R song!" Gonna be fun to see them try 2 dance 2 that!
@hfelknor Ran out of room! Remember June Christy, Chris Connor, Tommy Edwards, Julie London, Kingston Trio, Perry Como, Don Cherry, Crew Cuts, Gogi Grant, Ames Bros. Moonglow by Morris Stoloff, Ebb Tide Frank Chacksfield, 4 Lads, McGuire Sisters, Lex Baster's Apr. in Portugal , Teresa Brewer, 4 Aces Doris Day, Nat Cole, Canadian Sunset -A. Williams,Ed Fisher & when you were necking in that car with the radio on - Boy, how Johnny Mathis turned up the heat & turned you both on. Good mems
