Four Freshmen in Japan 1964 Part 6 - Lulu's Back in Town, Long Way From St. Louis, Sweet Lorraine

This is a wonderful show made in Japan in 1964 featuring The Four Freshmen's Group 4: Bob Flanigan, Bill Comstock, Ross Barbour, and Ken Albers. Things to note are the high production value - for the time the audio quality was quite high. Also note the staging and camera use. Certainly this was a first class production where the Four Freshmen really can look their best. Very special thanks goes to Yas Ichiura, the Japanese Representative to the Four Freshmen Society, for finding this gem of Fresh history

What happens between 0.54 and 1.11? Lip synching? possibly.  Regardless - totally fantastic.

@jdrover00 I'm pretty sure everything you hear is pre-recorded. After all....even when they pan out, there are no microphones...
