The Four Freshmen - The Star Spangled Banner

[ScottyUrb]

Is there any way we can get these guys for a future Super Bowl? They're as good as Straight No Chaser and Acoustix! And they actually know the words!

[MoaiMaea]

Way too mellow in my opinion.

[nemo227]

Simply wonderful.

From a canadian citizen:

You gotta love the Start Spangled banner; even more when sang like this! So patriotic and great, gives me shivers every time. I sing it, loud and proud, even if I am not America, at hockey games @ my hometown arena, the Bell Centre, and Olympics. God Bless America, and let's hope that, our differences don't divide us!

[mindbodylightsound10]

are there any acapella renditions of "o canada" that are of this caliber?

[bille77]

@habs4thecup7 awesome comment

from Germany

[MoaiMaea]

Differences? Prompted ones, I say.

[randyjsing]

Especially love the final chord. Very warm and settling...

@adg128

Now that is funny.

[iitsnickybo0o96]

??? with all due respect, im a bit confused.... can you please explain that?

[drcodysweet]

Premier Broadcasting's "Coast to Coast AM" international radio show with over 560stations played the Freshmen's full version of "Banner" as bumper music on

host Ian Punnett's "Spying and Espionage" show on Saturday, June 13, 2009. Ian said he would play it again. I reported this, the second Coast playing of "Banner," on the Freshmen Yahoo Group.  --Laura Skylark

The Four Freshmen have a challenge to try to get a big "wow" out of their harmony with only four parts. They did it on the word "air". Nice progression on "brave". Take 6 is definitely a "wow factor" as a whole.

[Ellamenopause]

Kind of chilling to see the WTS; gorgeous rendetion, just the same.

[robertrfj]

This is how our National Anthem should be sung. Beautiful job !!! :)

Country First!

[lightonahill2011]

[marktremontirules1]

[marezzo32]

xDDDDDDDDDD

[koenigjohn]

An all Amercan sound for a song for American. They're fantastic !

[garysneed63]

The Star Spangled Banner never sounded so good ! This version and Whitney Houston's are the best!

[imvesuvio]

N*Sync's acapella version was unrivaled in harmonics, to me.

[jibcraip]

then check out Take 6 arrangement if you like Harmony :-)

[ferlo54]

My all time favorite vocal group, new group

and original. I've been hearing them since

1955. What a great "star Spangled Banner !

[rbarryglass]

Like the BeachBoys singing "The Lord's

Prayer", the new Four Freshmen are excellent

on everything they do. Reminding me of the Beach Boys who remind me of the Four Freshmen ! !

[mharbaugh]

We all know the current Frosh can sing circles around the Beach Boys!

[eezeepro]

The Beach Boys remind you of The Four Freshmen because Brian Wilson was such a fan of theirs that he wanted to copy their sound!!

He has always said if it wasn't for The Four Freshmen, there wouldn't be a Beach Boys!!

[spacepatrolman]

They both: had brothers ,played instruments and sang,on capitol records ,did each others songs.

[Willco5114]

Beautifully done, great harmony, great pictures! Thank-you.

[Donbojazz]

OK Francis Scott Key, after turning over in your grave through all these years, a reaction caused by the many who have attempted to sing our National Anthem, you can now get back on your back. This is the way it was intended to be sung, RIGHT??

[JivingJack]

Great Video - Great Group Singing it

Job Well Done

I would like to hear the F. Freshmen do it some big time at a major Sporting Event
