I'm a little older than the newest generation (I'm 27), but I have an enormous appreciation for music like this. At 11 years old, I was glued to my local "oldies" radio station-- Kool 105 in Denver. The beautiful harmony of groups like Simon & Garfunkel, Brothers Four and others were fundamental pieces to my musical experience. Trust me, I'm not the only member of the "new generation" that deeply loves music like this.

@@davidredding6092beautiful! Thanks for bringing me back to this video
There is never a day that I don't listen to their songs especially " Island in the Sun."It reminds me of my life on the island
Gone are the days when one could judge a man by his good pronunciation, clean shoes and 'cravat'
Songs of yesteryears are irreplaceable ! I still enjoy listening to these songs even until late at night ! So classic to hear !
I miss the days with true good music like this.

Поверь,не ты один!
The good thing is that, some young people are starting to reject the soul damaging, satanic garbage imposed on them nowadays, and are listening to this kind of real music instead. I find that very encouraging. Play this to your youngsters and see what their reaction is.
Superb! Like the Kingston Trio these boys were top folk singers of the 50s and 60s.
Superbi.
Where have those good old days with enjoyable music gone?
Thanks for visiting the channel.
Gone to TH-cam
In our memory!
I was born in 1980’s but my soul love this kind of music. Oldies is the Best!❤️
A very professional 4 blending voices... original with their individual musical instruments blended as one. Bravo to this prestige ALL SEASON SINGERS, .... you are number ONE!!!!
Smartly dressed young gentlemen. Masculine, kind, respectable gentle men. The line “ ‘Twas so good to be young then” makes me grateful I was indeed young back then when this was the quality of music you heard on the radio every day.
I love the blending of their voices....so Professional!
These are the American boys I remember when I first set foot on US soil, they were respectable with high morals. These days are different. What happened?
Digital media in all its forms happened, We are ripe for that wellknown decline into oblivion
AT 82 I recall both sooo well! & this white bread youth could strive to sing along...I still do...MEMREES
Harmony that remains unchanged even after a lot of time passes
I remember them from the 60's now I'm 68 years old
I just don't know what our new genration are up to. But I have to say I didn't listen to these guyes for 20 years. Now it strikes HOME
I really admire these guys ..
tidy , decent personality ..
they're my idol..be treasured
in thoughts for very long
time ..Thanx..
The same DNA makes the PERFECTION: You close your eyes and you hear ONE VOICE quadruplicated , multiplied by 4 !!!!
O U T S T A N D I N G !!!!
Lovely quartet boys their mellow voices compliments with each other... backed with their super mellow big bass, banjo, and guitars.
They were 10 years older than me, but I have listened to them in France since I was able to obtain their records,
it was the time when everything had meaning, texts and melodies that “qui tenaient la route”* as they say in France
*that stand the test of time
Bring back the Folk songs! Thank you for the music.
Feels so good listening to this kind of music ❤️
I love their songs and their voice, blending and all.
Try to imagine the attitude and mentality of our culture back then. Bit of a different world now. Totally terrific.
The video is a GEM for who know the meaning of Wonderful Performance ..!!!
The original Brothers Four. Dick's amazing tenor has graced many songs. I have always had a soft spot for Island In The Sun by Lord Burgess (Irving Burgie) and Harry Belefonte.
Harry was THE MAN!!!
Superbi.
Fratboys from Washington State I believe...harmonies that always stayed with me when I heard my brother's record of this in the 60's. I think this was used in the original Alamo movie. Just great!
UW
Hoping there would be a time to revive those songs of yesterday. Beautiful performances.
thank you from my h
These songs reminds me my high school days.
Such harmony
and easy listening and mellow sound
Island in the sun reminds me of my beautiful country Trinidad and Tobago
Their songs were really a treasure tobe kept forever in the music industry.
And in our 🥰 hearts!
Always a great pleasure listen to them 😘
Some guys knew how to dress like gentlemen in those days. Great stuff guys!
I think of the Caribean Isles I was cruising as master of ceremonies at the SS New Amsterdam.. Thank you Brothers Four for Island in the sun so harmonious songs! But also The green leaves of summer is still up to date!
Nostalgia from the sixties!
***** Thanks Taco for visiting the site and for taking the time to express your thoughts.
Great comment Jan Hammer!
This music island in the sun and greens sleeves of summer is the best music to me coz when I'm a kid my father sing this 4 me my teArs started to fell when I hear dis music remind me of my loving caring father. .
It was good to be younger
To be close to the earth
When the catfish were jumping
As high as the sky.
Voix, paroles et musiques magnifiques !
wow!!!! so powerful. I thought Harry Belafonte's version was the best version but this one is just magical.
What a fantastic voice!!!i really love your songs...very relaxing
The Brothers Four is my first album record I bought in my life in 1971 when I was high−school boy in a remort small town in Japan.
Before and during the Beatles era, these guys and Ricky Nelson taught me how to song and appreciate different types of music as a .kittle boy, merely by their recordings and Tv appearances. They once appeared on Ozie and Harriet show...if I hear them on a oldies channel or whatever singing a song I never heard them sing....I immediately know it;s them. Unmistakable sound and blend of voices. Remarkable harmonies and intonation. Total class, and they didn't have to carry weapons to prove a damn thing.
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
As morning breaks the heaven on high
I lift my heavy load to the sky
Sun comes down with a burning glow
Mingles my sweat with the earth below
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the waterside
Casting nets at the surging tide
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
I hope the day will never come
When I can't awake to the sound of drum
Never let me miss carnival
With calypso songs philosophical
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Awesome,
Beautiful
How lovely x
Quelle époque!!!
Seriously takes me back.. This era we're in now really doesn't cut it, as far as I'm concerned. About the only thing I can say favorable for this cyber-internet era is the added plethora, ease of access, of reading material.. So picked up a new favorite quote this AM (online).. -Kierkegaard: "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use." Yea.. .Like we just totally wear out our freedom of speech, right?! It's speech freedom so long as it's speech conformity.
This song and Greenfields are my favorites.
Thanks for this upload!
Sooo coooollll
Love u guys!!!!
What a class they had !!!!
Beautifull
perfect combination !
So wonderful
1 tenor e 3 barítonos. O som do banjo bem tocado se destaca.
I love my island, my country Indonesia
Thanks you for tuning in.
Love u guys n bless u
Uau, isso e maravilhoso!!! 🙌🏻🙏🏻😍
Super cool 👍👍👍💕.. Kompak banget suaranya . very nice
6 years ago! This group were on their late 80's or more if they are still alive! Blogger are you in the state of joking?
I shed ed many tears on these songs, thinking what the democrats and liberals, and foreigners, have done to this country, to tear down its history, tradition, its values, and to try to replace it with some kind of evil, I yet don't know its name.
excelente
This is terrific. I did not think there was a live version of Green Leaves of Summer extant. The Brothers Four have , I believe, arefinally getting their recognition 50 years later. Thanks for this!
+multicaruana Thanks for viewing the site and for taking the time to express your views.
+Jan Hammer You are welcome! And thank you for posting this incredible concert.
They performed it live at the 1961 Academy Awards, but I'm not sure the footage is available.
Such kind of a music is the true way to make our life better and the world around perfect.
@@janhammer39 Thank you so much for your response-sorry I was 6 years late, but I finally found it. Thank you again Mr. Hammer!
Que vocal lindo 💗
Que buenos son. Me gustan. ¡¡Que armoniosudad.

Jan,amei seu video,espetacular !!
Esta dificil o google posta milhões de videos desconhecidos menos os que temos dos amigos.beijos amiga rs
No this was not two track audio, one for the live broadcast and one for the recording.
Can anyone shed light on what guitar John Paine (far left) is playing? It looks like a very small acoustic bass guitar, because it has only four tuners. But they also have the stand up bass, so I'm confused. Would appreciate any knowledge on this.
Oh , I feel like I'm in cloud 9.
Hi Jan......Nice to see one of your uploads again! Sorry..I had computer problems for a while but got it back working so that I could leave a comment. Just wanted to tell you, that right before I moved to Florida, about three years ago, I saw them perform in Kirkland, WA. I lived in the Seattle area at that time....Love this....Thanks!!
Emily Perlman Hello Emily! It is great to hear from you again. I once worked with a fellow named Roger Kelly who was a UW grad. Roger was a fine banjo player. He told me that The Brothers Four actually began life as The Party Dollars, playing for fraternities and events around the UW campus. Had you ever heard that story? I've not been able to confirm it from any other source.
Great story, Jan!! No, I have never heard it before, but then, I come from NY and went to college there; if I had been at UW, it might have been another story!!
Emily Perlman Additionally Roger said he was their banjo player during that period.
Jan Hammer
Cool, Jan!! Wished I could have been there to see him.....I always loved the banjo, and thought about taking it up.....My brother had an instrument in the 60's called a "banjo uke"......Looked like a banjo but tuned like a ukulele. I sold it together with my accordion at that time.....Just wanted to play guitar!!
Emily Perlman I can relate. Check out this link to my friend Rob Bishline playing Joni's "Both Sides Now", on his Madera: th-cam.com/video/Jc-NGIJ-n4w/w-d-xo.html
Замечательно!
