the audio quality makes this so much better

[@felixmattsson2535]

Exactly right!

[@MattSuguisAsFondAsEverrr]

barbershop quartet transcends audio fidelity

[@coltgun876]

Hearing quartet groups in high quality just sounds wrong for some reason

[@anopirsten7565]

The irony of a quartet singing "Mine Alone".

[@deathtoming2201]

I have this on repeat when I’m feeling down man it picks me up… wish I could of lived at least one day in these times..

[@peterhodson452]

I’ve listened to this like 100 times in the past two days😁

[@Dinner_likes_DInner]

don't reveal the secrets

[@RavenclawNimbus]

I love barbershop quartets. Especially the low parts.

[@kyleconsalus7251]

This is from the 1960 AT&T musical "Tom, Dick, and Harriet", with vocals from The Sportsmen Quartet. That's Thurl Ravenscroft on bass, but Jim Backus is pretending to sing.

[@Nytrous1]

Sounds like Thurl, but I can't find confirmation

[@RickNasty42069YOLO]

@@Nytrous1 Why would you possibly, randomly know something like this..

[@Nytrous1]

Your mom

[@leilathomas2536]

I had no idea AT&T existed back then. The more you know

[@cyberpigeon]

⁠@@leilathomas2536You gotta be mad early to get a name like “American Telephone and Telegram”.

[@CatholicQuartet]

It's so cool hearing "Hello My Baby" from so long ago! The dance is really funny

[@Cross-Thread-Garage]

Lyrics: I’ve got a honey baby t’other side of town I talk to her upon the telephone, telephone I just can’t see her everyday but I’ll be boun I won’t let her forget she’s mine alone, mine alone You bet I’ve got her number, she’s got mine as well A long, a short, a long, I’m on her line Then with thanks to Mr. Alexander Graham Bell Why this is what I say to baby mine Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal, my baby Send me a kiss by wire, baby my heart’s on fire, oh baby If you refuse me, honey you’ll lose me, and you’ll be left alone Oh baby, telephone and tell me I’m your own Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal, my baby Send me a kiss by wire, baby my heart’s on fire, oh baby If you refuse me, honey you’ll lose me, and you’ll be left alone Oh baby, telephone and tell me I’m your own

Man was this a blast from the past 🐸🎩

Why don't people like 1950s barbor shop quortets a whole lot now

[@thegamingdragon1868]

It has been my favorite form of music all my life

[@sk1ttlz904]

Because people suck?

[@_what._.]

Modernity sucks 😂 I love barbershop quartets !!

We just have an advanced sense of music

[@gyangarciaavila9416]

[@RawOne911]

Fun fact: most Quartets have four people.

[@MrFleshyMan]

NO! I thought they had five!

[@user-tp5yb4hr4w]

they could have 5 guys singing barbershop, but yeah traditionally it's 4 guys, my dad used to sing in one for half of his life lol, as i kid i really didn't enjoy the style of music, but as an adult i have grown some appreciation for it. playing fallout games and the bioshock games helped me to this direction, now i can't get enough of it and feel like youtube doesn't have enough of these oldies tunes. i mean there is a lot of newer style barbershop, but i have more interest in the older songs over the new stuff at this time.

[@P-Funk_]

@@user-tp5yb4hr4w no yeah we do but we call those quintets 🤗

[@user-tp5yb4hr4w]

@@P-Funk_ they have been called barbershop quartets the whole time though. i'm not sure about this quintets is though, it's obviously spelled differently? what makes me mad is when your looking for barbershop quartet music, i often run into something that doesn't at all reflect a quartet and it's just some rap music, it's super annoying lol.

[@michaelweinberg698]

How many are in your quartet?😜

[@JohnquestIII]

The Jim Bacchus Show 1960\61. He's the guy on the left.

[@kyleconsalus7251]

Almost. That is Jim, and it's from 1960, but it's a musical called "Tom, Dick, and Harriet".

[@Jerry-terry-jerry]

The best part of this is that one guy looking at the bass, shocked and appalled

[@lloydmcnabb2773]

Love this music and video ty

[@gentrydayton518]

I’ve watched this about 100 times now because I love it so much. PLEASE tell us what this is from!

[@georgecoker4933]

The bass appears to be Jim Backus. He played Mr. Howell on Gilligan's island and provided the voice for Mr. Magoo. I don't know who's doing the actual singing but I don't think it's the guys being pictured. There is no way that Jim Backus had that low of a singing voice. But I could be wrong!

[@gielxhedrick88]

I'll be honest, i searched this up and this might go into the youtube algorithm a few years later or maybe even tomorrow or later so... Hello world!

[@nilomeireleschef2149]

PERFECT.

[@neon_Nomad]

Theyre singing through a phone before rappers in jail did

[@canny_linguist]

Barbershop quartets are hard to come by now bc nobody can grow the 'tache right

[@maxinenall9950]

I always loved listening to these 🥰 it really makes me happy ❤️

[@Myfootage]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@jonnydanger7181]

First thing I think about hearing this song is the frog in the cartoon performing this on stage 🐸

[@lloydmcnabb276]

I love this song I love this till I die

[@BarryMoreno-zx4dc]

Jim Backus singing baritone in the quartet!

[@nainorotodox]

Why can't modern music be like this

[@sharronneedles6721]

Because modern music has developed beyond basic rhythms and progressions like this.

[@averyj3428]

@@sharronneedles6721 by modern I’m assuming they are referring to todays pop

[@post-structuralist]

@@sharronneedles6721 "Developed beyond basic rhythms and progressions" Never have I seen such a greater lie. Without counting the terrible garage band nonsense music being created, modern music has STUCK to basic rhythms and progression. The bulk of it comes from what is popular now, pop, trap, etc.

[@56independent42]

Because tastes and mass appeal have changed; we've moved closer to more electronic sounds and even EDM over the years. It's a natural part of how society and music interact; it's why the barbershop quartet took over from the more religous SATB ensamble.

[@caoistico669]

I wanted a bigger version of it

[@everdeeneverdeen5777]

thats really amazing, love that and see u in a couple years when youtube recommend this to everyone stay safe love u all

[@shirali_ali]

[@BruceEEvans1]

If only this is what we hear coming from the International Stage these days.

[@martialpanyvino]

0:38 is just so funny ahah

[@DKendes]

I like this old wholesome music don't need to see ass shaking all the time

[@blakemcnamara9105]

They already made it cheesey by the '50s I see.

[@MrBurningToast]

Man sometimes I wish to live in the 1950s

[@WillICode]

Lol hope your white and rich

[@dmbirkeland]

I think that might be Jerry Colonna speaking on the phone. He would travel with Bob Hope entertaining the troops.

[@mrcomino6028]

Is there a full version of this version of the song?

[@gentrydayton518]

Where is this from? A TV program?? And what group is this????

[@Talkitytalktalk]

I’d always see references to this in cartoons do I just had to see what it even was lol

Where is this from?

[@georgecoker4933]

Whoops - I just noted that I'm not the first that noticed that Jim Backus is not doing the singing. I've never heard the Sportsmen Quartet but I've heard of them. I've been singing in barbershop quartets since the early 1980s. The Bluegrass Student Union is still the best!

[@thesockoshow2129]

That's how the frog sing that song.

[@syteanric]

0:45 😊

[@Omegajunior2658]

What is that film called?

[@Croonr1]

That’s three members of The Sportsmen Quartet: Bob Garsen, Jay Moffett and Bill Days. Jim Backus is lip synching to Thurl Ravenscroft. I guess Gurney Bell had the day off

[@CristianS4mano]

South park parodied this right?

raise your hand if you found this randomly and now you’re addicted 🤚

[@masindog]

Nothing says that something is very off with a town in a game more then barbershop quartet music :D very bioshocky

[@RoboLobster3000]

Too bad this genre of music has turned into more of a novelty than an actual genre

[@migratorybyrds1107]

Not really, you should really hear the modern quartets.

[@jdoyle7768]

Apparently you've not heard of groups like O.C. Times, new fangled four, forefront, instant classic, and Chonk who just won their first pioneer district title, and the list goes on

[@P-Funk_]

Look up BHS we still have big meets and a bunch of barbershoppers singing

[@HeathDeGaramo]

The modern quartets just sound like they removed their mouths and replaced them with second noses. Totally emasculated and nasally sound. Absolutely intolerable.@@migratorybyrds1107

[@scottmonfort]

What movie is this? Please update description or face the plagerism firing squad.

[@joeywomer]

Hey, these guys stole Michigan J. Frog's song! 🤣

[@JaniceCarter-ws7lu]

😶🍿

[@lesweizman388]

i dont believe that jim bachus could actually sing so these guys are lip synching to another group

[@Myfootage]

Jim can sing ! He was the voice for a cartoon character Mr. Magoo. His singing was ok enough for Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol, singing "Broadway" my childhood and continuing favorite song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naucZWVmrKqrmbc
