Recorded in 1962 as part of a Public Service series sponsored by the U.S. Navy for radio broadcast, this recording includes many the Four Freshmen standards-'Day By Day,' 'Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring,' 'Route 66'-as well as some lesser known songs. Their trademark voicings made the group a popular favorite; they recorded over twenty albums for Capitol alone! Their likeable onstage persona can be heard on 'Once In Love With Amy,' a novelty number that sounds like singer Ross Barbour is on helium. 'Somebody Loves Me' and 'Taps Miller' are swung at a speed that is vivace going on dangerous-'Taps' features a challenging scat performance, while 'Somebody Loves Me' has a rubato turn of phrase that is a clever device.
