The Four Freshmen
**The Four Freshmen** are a legendary vocal harmony group who’ve been serenading audiences with their smooth, jazz-infused sound since 1948. Originally formed by brothers Ross and Don Barbour, along with Marvin Pruitt and Hal Kratzsch, they pioneered a fresh take on close harmonies that blended jazz sophistication with catchy pop sensibilities. Their breakout hit "Graduation Day" became a nostalgic anthem, and their lush covers of standards like "Angel Eyes" solidified their reputation as masters of vocal interplay. Over the decades, the group’s lineup has evolved (with multiple generations of members), but their signature style—marked by intricate arrangements and velvety textures—has remained timeless.
Fun fact: The Four Freshmen’s innovative harmonies famously inspired Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, shaping the sound of *Pet Sounds*. With live albums like *Live at the Franklin Theatre* and fresh takes on classics (*Our Latin Vibes*), they’ve kept their vibe alive for over 70 years, proving that great harmonies never go out of style. Still touring today, they’re a living bridge between the golden era of vocal jazz and modern-day music lovers.
