Description:
A pre echo of the sixties, The Four Freshmen pioneered a revolutionary new style of close harmony vocals that set the stage for bands like the Beach Boys, The Mamas & Papas, Spanky & Our Gang, the Hi Los, The Lettermen, the Manhattan Transfer and countless others. Taking their inspiration from barbershop quartets, Glenn Miller's Modernaires and Mel Torme's Mel Tones. The greatest vocal group of all time the Four Freshmen prepared the ground for such artists as the Beach Boys and Mamas and Papas and Association to create a sound that is synonymous with classsic sixties pop. |
