Those ending chords are some of the greatest performances of harmony ever captured!

How has this been sitting here on KZread for five years and I only now found it. What a terrific musician you are. This was an absolutely fantastic 94 seconds of art.

Love this song ! Our quartet sang this many years ago, always an audience favorite.

I did this in my Youth In Harmony concert! I absolutely loved performing the baritone part- my favorite!

Sang along to this for a music honors society project recently, sang the lead part in bass and now my band teacher wants me to start my own barbershop quartet!

I'm 13 and I enjoyed this.

Hope you enjoy this week's release. It's a barbershop classic! :) Please *share* the video if you enjoyed it and *leave a comment* to let me know your thoughts! If you'd like to support future videos like this one, you can do so here: patreon.com/trudbol Thanks!

What a finish, awesome.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! :)

when the song was first written, it was originally a lullaby sung to put children to sleep. The most popular version was sang by the chordettes back in the fifties and shortly after became a standard in barbershop. you can find this song in the polecat 2 book along with other songs such as hello mary lou and I've been working on the railroad. you have come a long way from when you first started multitracking but practice will always make perfect.

Marvelous!!!

Wow, goosebumps.

Thank you August, that's a cool comment to read! I do have an advantage over regular quartets, in the sense that blend is not an issue when singing with yourself. I think a thing I sometimes miss in barbershop quartet recordings I hear is a lack of depth in the sound, things are sung a little too bright without vibrato, so the voice sounds a little more tense and less full. Having a darker and fuller sound gives it a kick, but you get less "ring".

I love those hats Julien!

To my mind, this is possibly one of your best yet, Julen! Thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. - Thank you! (Shared it on FB and Twitter.)
