The interaction of the voices is not as pleasing to me as it is in, say, the Hi-Los. That upper register is a bit harsh. However, I listen to all my music through a media centre these days and when the odd FF track pops up it can be very pleasing. It doesn't surprise me that Kenton championed them -- he seemed to like music that tended towards the grating, even though it could be quite enjoyable. I like them all the way from the first to the last LP + the additional material on CD's. Its the lonngest performing vocal group on the scene with many changes after the founding members are gone but still going strong. How many high praised vocal groups are vanished from the scene? Your pers. taste respected but there are fans who have different preferences ;-]] Quote
Brad Posted January 11, 2020 Report Posted January 11, 2020 Over the years I’ve listened to a sampling of the Four Freshmen and they’re better in small doses, in my opinion. However, I do realize they have a lot of fans. Interestingly, they were a big influence on The Beach Boys. See this conversation with Brian Wilson. Quite interesting. Brian Wilson talks Pet Sounds, Chuck Berry, Four Freshmen, exotica and more Quote

In any case what I said here five years ago wasn't a denunciation by any means. Quote

Here are some of their later issues on vinyl. Edited January 12, 2020 by jazzcorner text Quote
