The Kready family (Jeff, Rick, Jon, and Don) singing as the quartet from The Music Man, with Nikki Renée Daniels as Marion. Filmed at the April 2015 Washburn University music department benefit concert at White Concert Hall.
Meredith Willson was my grandmother's cousin. Rosalie was his mother and her favorite sister, Lida was my great grandmother. I've been singing this song with my mother since I was four and you did it justice!!! God bless!!! 🥰🫶🌟
i'often sing this to myself or to anyone who will listen, like my wife but most people don't get it or maybe it's me. we always loved lida rose quackenbush.
They knocked it out of the park. Meredith Wilson (a guy) brought small town America alive. His Music Man was the BEST musical among many of that bygone era. All you had to do to get the Quartet off track of Harold Hills con job was to hum a tune and they had to stop whatever they were doing - and start SINGING! they could not help themselves. Thanks Kreadys and Nikki!
After the hot mess the revival turned out to be, this was incredibly refreshing to run across. Thank you for doing justice to Mr Wilson's beautiful music. ❤️
I agree, this is refreshing to find. The revival had the potential to be great, with Jerry Zaks directing it. But the lyric changes and the casting just ruined it all. I honestly thought Hugh Jackman was going to kill it as Harold, but his performance just comes off as awkward, and Sutton's vocals are obviously not up to par with the role of Marian. Maybe they should redo the show with those guys as the quartet and Nikki Renee Daniels as Marian, her voice is so clear and concise.
@@hayweathington22 From a barbershopper's perspective, the quartet was the worst part of the recent revival, even considering your appropriate comments. Even worse, there was an actual barbershop quartet with a contract to do the show, who are now involved in a lawsuit concerning their, ah... dismissal.
Sorry, I've never heard of Mr. Kready or his family but, that was a fantastic rendition of Lida Rose I have ever heard and Ms. Daniels topped the movie version with her beautiful voice. Thank you. 😍
Nikki Daniels has such a GORGEOUS voice -- such a well-rounded, solid tone. I'd bet she can give Barbara Cook a run for her money as the perfect music teacher/librarian, Marian!!
Nikki Renée Daniels has an amazingly beautiful voice, and you guys did a fantastic job :) Very very good version of this, one of my all time favorite songs. I used to sing it with my Daddy, sort of a 2 voice barbershop :)
I regularly go back to listen this. At least a dozen or more times at this point. Usually when I refer it to someone else. I don't think there's ever been a more wholesome or musically satisfying performance of, well, anything.
Hello Kready family! Just wanted to let you know that I've seen this video about ten times now! Never tire of it, you are all so talented!! Thank you!😊❤
Barbershop also in my family blood. Was really moving to see 3 generations singing together and doing such justice to a beautiful song. Thank you for sharing.
I have decided i want a Randy Rainbow doll. Or several. They should cone in kits that correspond to his videos . Eysach dress up set would have the customes that correspond with the designated video. Hey, Randy, what do tou say? I really want the blue out fit with the white polka dots. Please! Pretty please!
@@timothybuell3314 - I appreciate the offer but nowadays, I'm pretty much housebound. I live in the LA area of California. My mother once took me to a men's choir, but that's not quite the same thing. 🙂
