  • The Four Freshmen are (and have been since 1948) the world's best jazz vocal recording artists. I just head today that my personal "hero" Ross Barbour, an original member, drummer and third voice for 28 years, succumbed to cancer today. I'll be crying for a long time! The annual convention won't be the same without him!

  • Yes...they are totally awesome. I've always said the Four Freshmen are the World's Greatest Jazz Vocal Recording Artists in the history of music...hands down...bar none! Thanks for your comments!

  • Oh yes...I've always been a fan-atic of the Four Freshmen...but my wife has always preferred the Beach Boys. We have mega recordings of both groups.

  • Me, too! Any chance you'll be attending the FFS Convention in Atlanta in August? It's going to be an awesome three days! We'll be there...and then I'll be very happy!

  • brian wilson admired the 4 freshman so much so much .he copied there style great choice. im talking about the beach boys

  • Paul: Yes...you're correct. Brian liked them so much that he lifted several of their charts, note for note and they had relatively good success with those recordings.

  • The best harmony you'll ever hear, there's nothing like it. Simple accompaniment with emphasis on the vocals. My dad who passed away a few months ago was a diehard fan.

  • sweet lorraine knows who 'Leroy' is

  • Does anyone know who "Leroy" was?

    Ross, if you read this, don't answer.

  • What a great bunch of voices! One person singing the lyrics could never be as romantic as the group. I have to salute Brian Wilson's taste in basing his singing group's sound on the Freshmen. Anybody hear of the Beach Boys, by chance?... :)
