Of course there's the story of the four 20-year-olds who called themselves the Toppers at Butler U., of their discovery by Stan Kenton and all that. But all the brouhaha in 1950, continuing up into the 1990s, was about the smooth, harmonic sound of the Four Freshmen and there are 10 sweet slices of that on this CD. All 10 are beautifully crafted (accompanied) beauties, and it's hard to pick favorites: 'Graduation Day,' their biggest hit, bops us right in the nostalgia bone; 'Poinciana,' 'It's A Blue World,' 'In This Whole Wide World,' 'The Day Isn't Long Enough,' 'Lovin' You,' 'Everytime You Touch Me' and 'In You' are all treats.
