Bob Flanigan, R. I. P.

ABC News: "Bob Flanigan, an original member of the four-part jazz vocal harmony group The Four Freshmen, has died in Las Vegas at age 84, a manager of the group said Monday.

Flanigan died Sunday at home of congestive heart failure, with family members nearby and several local trombonists playing songs, IVI Management agent Dina Roth said.

'Flanigan's voice was indestructible,' said Ross Barbour, the last remaining original member of the four-man group. 'He could drive all day and all night without stopping between gigs, and when our voices were on the edge Bob was still in full form.'"
