This is a wonderful show made in Japan in 1977 featuring The Four Freshmen's Group 5: Bob Flanigan, Ray Brown, Ross Barbour, and Ken Albers. Very special thanks goes to Yas Ichiura, the Japanese Representative to the Four Freshmen Society, for finding this gem of Fresh history

  • Great video, however I believe that it's group 5 not 4.

  • @oldboats Yep, you're right. Sorry about that...

  • I saw group 4 Four Freshmen in Ventura

    California at a nice hotel in '77.

    The adding of Ray Brown on keyboards

    had it benefits. A fuller backing including

    "string" section sounds which gave it

    a studio sound. Plus the big band on the second song with the Japanese girl singer and the Japanese vocal group really fills everything out so nicely. I love all the vintage Freshmen videos recently. It's been

    years since I've seen this Freshmen era.

  • I was in the service with Ray Brown. We had a band we worked together in, and played in Myrtle Beach every night in the summertime. We usually had 5 or 6 singers, and 6 to 8 musicians on the stage at one time. Ray was one of the nicest guys I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. Love to get hold of him. After leaving service, I never heard from him again, until 1967, when I caught up with him in Ft. Walton Florida.

  • @kaunasprince The horn play is Ken Albers. The other, left to right are : Ray Brown, Ross Barbour, Bob Flanagan. Ken passed away a few years ago, and Bob just passed away this year.

  • @oria50 - Ray is my father. I agree with you - he is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. =)

  • i only have to play the four freshmen and im in a happy place fabulous the best.thanks.

  • It was a real pleasure, to hear their "Girl Talk" arrangement....always thought, it was a well written tune. The female dancers, were sexy and I was thinking of all the men in Japan, that were happy to enjoy a little Western seduction.......!!!

  • That dude sure can play the Fluegel horn.
