“Formed at Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music…in 1948, the Four Freshmen were a groundbreaking vocal group who influenced…the Beach Boys and countless other close-harmony outfits…They won the DownBeat readers poll in 2000 for Best Vocal Group, over 50 years since they were formed” (The Encyclopedia of Popular Music, 2006). The quartet’s “Their Hearts Were Full of Spring” and their top hit “Graduation Day” were staples of Beach Boys concerts.
