- Shangri-La The Four Freshmen 3:25
- Shangri-La The 4 Coins 2:48
Two versions of this great oldie by two of the very best vocal quartets EVER. Both groups featured great, creative arrangements and their close harmonies are hard to duplicate.
The 4 Coins recorded the first well known version in 1957, and the Four Freshman released another version in 1962. The song was featured in the Broadway show, “Forever Plaid”.
Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys learned of both The Four Freshmen and The Lettermen early in his musical career and they were a both HUGE influence on the Beach Boys unique pop/surf sound. They even ended up covering some of the their songs .
