"Tenderly" - The Hi-Lo's (Virtual Quartet)

Thanks for watching!

What you're seeing is a collaborative singing video comprised of 4 guys from three different countries to form a virtual quartet (from left to right):

Tenor II - Simon Craipeau - France ( http://www.youtube.com/user/simoncraip )
Tenor I - Jean-Baptiste Craipeau - France ( http://www.youtube.com/jbcraipeau )
Bass - Evan Sanders - United States ( http://www.youtube.com/user/strad43 )
Baritone - Andrew Kesler - Canada ( http://www.youtube.com/andrewkesler )

The song is "Tenderly", with music by Walter Gross and lyrics by Jack Lawrence. This vocal arrangement was done by the great Clare Fischer, and made famous by the amazing group "The Hi-Lo's". The transcription of this song was done by Jean-Baptiste.

JB contacted us proposing the idea of covering this song as a Youtube project about a month ago. Knowing JB's incredibly high level of musicality (and having met and recorded with him this past summer) , I said yes immediately, and was pleased to be singing with Simon (whom I also met) and being introduced to a great bass singer, Evan.

We recorded the audio part by part, finishing with me. I then edited and mixed the song in Logic Pro. After discussing some ideas for the video, we decided to go for the old and classy black and white look. We all then filmed our parts separately in front of home-made green screens, and then I edited the video in Final Cut Pro.

HUGE thank you to my older brother Joel (www.joelkesler.com/) who filmed me and also did a lot of the editing to make this project look much better than if I had done it alone.

Anyways, thanks for watching and for all your continuous support! It was a LOT of hard work, and hopefully we'll have some more collaborations in the future. NO PITCH CORRECTION USED!

Don't forget to rate, comment, subscribe and share this video! It would really mean a lot to us!

Andrew, So now I'm listening to it every night. Btw. The link to the mp3 seems to be broken. I went to "Download This File" and clicked on it. No Download, just an empty file. :( Wha hoppened?

[AndrewKesler]

@eugenesedita That's weird... I"ll look into it.

[eugenesedita]

I've been a fan of The H-Lo's, for more than 40 years and as they occurred the Four Freshman, Singers Unlimited, Swingle, etc. But especially the Hi-Lo's were to me, gods. You've done a wonderful job with this recording. I'd love to see the sheet music of the parts. Is there any way I could get a transcription. Please. I play piano and sing. My son graduated from Aaron Copland School of Music in NY. We are music and especially vocal music maniacs. Thank you. Great job. I'm subscribing now. :)

Thee guys are not the hi los. Good singers but not the original group.

[AndrewKesler]

@jimidee33 Haha you're definitely right we're not the Hi-Lo's

[1bloodnok]

Exquisite. Andrew, please promise someday you guys will do Gene Puerling's arrangement of "Long Ago and Far Away."

[Rafascowalkson]
