I Believe (Acapella) by the Lettermen

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

I was at the grocery store the other day, and I was so pleasantly surprised to here this song playing. It was hard to hear since I wasn't directly under a speaker, but I started singing with it. It's always great to hear anything from The Lettermen. I have several of their albums still from years ago. Thanks for posting!

[lettermen1]

@Beautifulmusiclistnr WOW! Wish our grocery stores (or any other store) had sense and taste enough to play this sort of material! Thanks for the great story!

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

@lettermen1 Believe me, I was just as shocked as you were. However, they have played some oldies there in the past. So, maybe I shouldn't have been so shocked. I guess that's what happens when you go Krogering! lol Thanks for posting this song. I'm listening to "I Believe" as I write this note. Classic Lettermen and always Always enjoyable. God Bless!

AWESOME........goose bumps @ the harmoney. Thanks for posting.

[lettermen1]

@dwtslvr Yeah, I don't know anyone with better harmony/acapella!

[bigz16150]

This really is amazing. Not many pop singers today would be able to pull something like this off!

[lettermen1]

@bigz16150 ...... and they're still doing it now!! Thanks for watching!

[boyhermosa]

another good blend....swtie.......

[tbaarr]

i would love to hear you guys cover the theme from armagedden which is currently best known by steve tyler

[ventues97]

ONE WORD..." WOW " !!!!!!

[lettermen1]

@ventues97 Says it all, friend!!

This is close to 4-part harmony Barbershop music, which is actually growing in popularity among many young singers like myself. It's just so much more musical and carries so much more emotion!

[a0square0canoe]

Good Lord.

I LOVE The Lettermen. I'm 18, and my dad got me turned on to The Lettermen and Frankie Valli and the like. Honestly, this is much better than 90% of the crap made today.

[lettermen1]

@a0square0canoe Thanks! I've had quite a few comments saying similar things!

music like this is a lost art!

[fly4hi]

Thanks for all the great music of the Lettermen. Fan since the sixties. Reunion also. I am from Malta, Idaho.

I believe, no pun intended, one of the Lettermen dated a Sherry Udy of the Cheerleaders ( from Malta ) when the Udy girls performed in Vegas in the 60's and early 70's. Great group, awesome harmonies. John

[lettermen1]

Thanks a lot John. Hope you'll come back for more, over 100 Lettermen songs on here, I lost count a while ago!

[lettermen1]

Welcome, Tommy. I look on it as a labor of love. Can't help but love the sound these guys produce!

[bogerbum]

[clamdraggin]

@ mb7668 ....VERY good choice of words.

STUNNING!

[lettermen1]

Thanks Donny, always great to hear from you! ; ))

[DRPike1]

You were correct Phil, that was Bobby on melody Jimmy on the top(full voice) and Tony on the bottom. We continued singing it through the seventy's while I was with the group. I am sure that the group still does it now :-)

Donny

[louvre32]

Merci...recuerdo que esta melodía la escuchaba mucho en casa de pequeña. Y en realidad, creo desde entonces !.

[lettermen1]

Thank you, sorry I don't have Portuguese to reply to you.

[Ricardobuhay]

Thanks a lot Lettermen1. You made my day!!!

[lettermen1]

Welcome again to our newest listener!

[grampypete]

Dear Lettermen 1

Thanks for posting... this is such a special song, and by Jim, Tony and Bob, not the remake of the Lettermen. If you have any of their early album cuts, songs like No Man is an Island, You'll Never Walk Alone and other inspirational songs, please post them for us to enjoy. These guys were the best !!!!!!!!!

God Bless You and Yours,

Grampy Pete

[lettermen1]

Thanks Pete, I'm sending you You'll Never Walk Alone-- Hope you come back for more!!

[4260laurel]

still one of the best groups ever

[mb7668]

I had the original live album this recording was on. I don't think it was ever put on CD. There was an intro into this song where Jimmy Pike says they had a request from the audience for "I Believe", and then he asks for a key from the piano player. He gets a key and says, "a little lower". This has to be one of the most stunning acapella recordings ever.

[firdome]

This version is chilling!

Hey, will you guys get a spot on Leno or Letterman or some nationwide program to show these neo rock singers how its done. I'm so sick of hearing of poorly traind voices attached to lips that French kiss the mike.

[lettermen1]

Thanks! These guys have been giving people "Chills down the spine" for quite a few years now!

[MignonB1]

Have to agree with firdome....

this still sends tingles up my spine too!!

The close harmonies and the "buzz" of

that PERFECT blend just blows me away

everytime I hear them sing this song!!

Thanks so much!! Happy to find this!! :)

Been a big Lettermen fan for decades.

[lettermen1]

Thanks! Me too, loved them from the first time I heard them back in 1961! ; ))

[cinevidproductions]

Even with the static, they still sound better than me... lol.

[lettermen1]

Bill, I've watched your rendition of this several times since joining YT and want to say I think you did a great job on it!

[lumbiaknight87]

amazing!!! perfect..look forward to our group's rendition soon during the 2009 reunion(after 20years with same company)..last one was in 2001 in vegas 2 weeks after 911...thanks for this clip..so we dont need any karaoke assistance..lol..lol.

[lettermen1]

Thank you! If you can get anywhere close to this rendition you will be doing well!! ; ))

[Swan1947]

Beautiful!....Thanks Lettermen1

[lettermen1]

Thank YOU! Also thanks for your "shares" -Much appreciated!

[65Reasons]

pure harmony!

the art of making music, even without accompaniment.

thanks, my friend.

[lettermen1]

Thanks! I found a translation of the Italian word acapella yesterday! It means singing at (or in) a chapel!
