The Four Freshmen - Blue World 1950-1955

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 Miller¹s 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 classic sixties pop.
