- The ACTUAL Kingston Trio Performing their No1 hit Tom Dooley on the Kraft Music Hall with Milton Berle. A truly haunting track and was the fifth official number 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 5 in the UK charts.
I was born in 85, to me this is what music should be.
correct but how can you destroy the past other than not to have it
wow, this must be the earliest live performance by the Kingston Trio ever recorded. Incredible. Thank you for sharing this!
Dear Connor Jones - thank you for posting this. I was fourteen when I first heard Tom Dooley by The Kingston Trio (and bought the 45 rpm) in Eltham, South London UK. I had never seen this performance. Their stage presence is outstanding as is their presentation - the changes of position whilst they are singing are really effective. Just wow!
What's interesting is that in the uk this is pretty much all they're known for, it was a big hit across the world at the time.
In the USA they were the most successful group of the 1950s and one of the most successful groups of all time.
Yet only known in the uk for this one gem
This was the first american folk song that I heard when a was 7 or 8 years old in Spain. This song and this Trio marked my life since. That was the music that was going to surround me until now; Kingston Trio, Peter, Paul & Mary, and so many others. Not only listening to them, but also performing and enjoying singing with friends.
a historic find. Great!
193 views !!!. Everybody on Earth should watch it straight away.
More to come?
Thanks again.
Fantastic find thanks
Hard to imagine a time when a singing group actually had talent. Well, it was 66 years ago...
I‘be been listening to them for years. I love them. I actually just bought a CD of them. 😊
Nonsense. Find today's artists in lounges, bars, clubs, parks and underground places. Same venues today's big shots began at.
@@doreekaplan2589 Screaming, muttering obscenities, grabbing their genitals. Yeah, whatever.
Not heard that for years. I remember my dad having the single.
I have the album...
Your Dad had great taste in Music ! Great way to grow up ! Goodness Grace Happiness and good Music ! ol man way down in TX...JD...
I live in Coronado, CA, the "hometown" of the KT. Blessed to have seen them perform live for the citizens of that beautiful place over numerous years in Spreckel's Park. But, no more. A shame. Iconic.
This takes me back to 1958 during my medical posting to a new RAF Hospital near Wegberg in Germany, we formed a skiffle group, tea chest bass, washboard, guitars and banjo, and this was one of the many songs we played at Xmas concerts, parties, hospital dances etc. Back in the day when we made our own entertainment. Great memories of those times. Thank you for sharing this. 👍😁🎼🇬🇧🇦🇺🔭
Hello how are you doing..?😊
@@honestj820 Thanks for your reply, in my mid 80's now and still doing many varied hobbies and some serious science in climate research at the local university. Bought a Yamaha Arranger SX900 keyboard a couple of years ago and spend an hour or so most nights relearning much I had forgotten. Always played wind instruments-clarinet & flute mainly after my guitar days when skiffle and trad jazz became a thing of the past. They were fun days, an era we will never see the likes of again. The world has changed so much and in many ways, not for the better. Honest John, I wish you well from my location 'down under', formally from Leeds, Yorkshire, UK, left there in '68 for a better climate and a safer place to live. Take care.
@@ShevillMathers Sounds good 👌.
I’ve been to Yorkshire before it’s a very beautiful place to stay…..I’m originally from Norway 🇳🇴 but live in Houston Texas.
Have you been to Texas before..?
@@honestj820 Got to say that I have never had the opportunity to visit the USA.
@@ShevillMathers Texas it’s a very beautiful place to stay i bet you gonna have fun 🤩…
If i may ask are you married with kid’s..?
I was being taken to jail and the police had some hard rock on the radio. I said "Do I have to listen to that?" He switched to a radio station I requested and Tom Dooley was playing. . Never forget as I hung down my head
Do the crime....do the time. Don't bitch about it. Definite way to avoid the jail time....don't fucking break the law
@@truthcanhurt4800you have most definitely committed crimes in the past, you were just never caught
@@truthcanhurt4800It's a nice story. Chill out. Judge not lest thee be judged.... Punk..
@@perryolsen1370wer ohne sünde ist werfe den ersten Stein!......keiner ist ohne Sünde!!
@@truthcanhurt4800 And don't run for president if you do
This was one of my fathers favorite groups but I had never heard any of their songs until now. Now I can't get this song out of my head. What a hauntingly great song. Wish I had grown up back then. The music these days is just nothing but garbage.
No, that is not true. I'll admit this is beautifull music. But still today there is some beautifull music being made also. But you have to search for it. Search for White Buffalo and Wish it was true. You probably will like it.
Greetings.from the Nerherlands,
Came across this folk song again after many years. Remember seeing this segment w/The Kingston Trio on our old black & white tv alongside with my grandmother when I was just 5 or 6 yrs of age. I cried and cried. This song about Tom Dooley has always remained in a special place in my heart. ♥️ Tom Dula survived The Civil War only to come home to his hometown to renew a disastrous love affair that ended in the unfortunate demise of this beautiful young mother-to-be. He may have not plunged the knife into his lover's heart though I believe he was there. Very sad true life event. Needless violence goes back way too long in the history of human lives involving matters of love and the heart. Back to The Kingston Trio...I loved all of their songs and they were a big influence in my life since they introduced me to Folk Music. 🎶
Hello friend, how're you doing today?
Long ago in the late 1960s in a bar in Sausalito, California, someone started playing a guitar and singing. Most people didn't pay much attention and just drifted in and out as people do in a bar. But my friend and I recognized him as Bob Shane of the Kingston Trio, who was performing anonymously for the fun of it. What a treat it was.
Oh, my. I cannot begin to imagine how amazing that would have been. You are so fortunate.
Very Cool Malcolm!
I think you mean the late 50s. I remember them from before I went in the service. Then came the Brothers Four. But Burl Ives and Woody Guthrie came long before. Great stuff.
no name bar or smittys?
@@masonritchie1712 No, on Bridgeway south of Princess St. Possibly where Angelino restaurant is now.
I just could never understand why they would want to memorialize this guy, Tom Dooley, who took a gal up a lonely mountain one night and stabbed her to death ? 'Poor Tom' ? Really ? Who was the gal he murdered ? Imagine, its a dark summer night and your boyfriend wants to take you somewhere private so you can 'neck' (hey, its the 50s, ok ?) and this song comes on the radio ? WORSE, he says 'Turn it up, this is my favorite SONG !!"
It is widely thought that another woman, his former lover, actually committed the murder out of jealousy, and he took the fall for her.
Get over it, it's jyst a folk song.
Wow! I know that must have felt somewhat creepy!!!
Good point fly
I haven’t heard of the Kingston Trio since my cousins played The “M.T.A” song
In their van, Then heard them from my mom and grandparents. Me and My stuff
Buffalos wrote “Zero” from Tom Dooley cause it was about our dog.
I would like to thank my grandparents to listen to The Kingston Trio songs
RIP, I love you
They started it all! The whole bang shoot of 60s music, musical transformation, popular music, new themes, new lyrics, the guitar! Everything else is after them! That was true for my life at least.
Totally agree. Without these guys and this song, there’d be no Folk Boom, no Bob Dylan, and no return to Americana.
I sure do miss the 70s, 80s and 90s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
I was fortunate to be in the Army and station near San Fransico when my young wife and I would go to the Hungry Eye ... and listen to the Kingston Trio. WOW ... just too good. And now at 91 years old, I still remember what the good times and what nice guys they were. Play a little while and then come over and sit with you and visit ... and drink. Good times. Thanks for the memories ... Ken Jones
I sincerely wish you more life in good health, more music and everything that makes life truly meaningful.
Thanks so much. I'm glad I happened upon this, I always would have imagined they were like this.
I loved this song as a little kid in the sixties. I miss the sixties, I miss my mom. She loved these boys.
Das Lied erinnert mich an meine Jugend. Wunderschön.❤
Have loved these guys for over 50 years
Dear KIRK. Am 91 now, have been a folk music fiend since 10, the KINGSTON TRIO one of my
favorites...LAY DOWN YOUR HEAD, TOM DOOLEY
their first that I plunked out on my guitar. By the
way my son is named KIRK !!! Best wishes!!!
So have I!!!
George Alexander, wonderful
Found this song in my parents record collection in the mid 1970,s never forgot it!
I am 75 and this song still makes me cry.I have had a stroke so can no longer play my guitar or ukulele.
Hold Fast, friend.
God bless you sir
The most important thing is in your heart and your mind, not in your hands.
but ya got memory's
I feel the same. Listened to them since late 50s
That's some serious talent right there! Great delivery of a classic early American folk song based on a true story.
Based on a true story? Didn’t know!
This was the first record I ever bought in 1958 after listening to it on Radio Luxembourg I'm 77 now and still listening to them!
3 guys, 2 guitars, 1 banjo, a big bag of wonderful songs that have stood the test of time.
I just wrote a comment that's the opposite of yours. I do not think the Kingston Trio withstood the test of time. They seem very dated.
@@EPA18 so what.
200 years from now, Kingston Trio will still be enjoyed.
@@EPA18 they are dated, but they are still listened to and still enjoyed.. that means that they have stood the test of time.
@@EPA18 They were not very skillfull and very simple, but they had a very distinctive sound and strenght that many people admired, me among them.
My dad and I used to listen to their album when I was younger and this brings back so many memories. Tom Dooley was my favorite song on the album too. I still love all these songs even though I’m 14 and it’s 2019.
Good for you!!!!
My dad had this album. I would listen to it all day long if I could. And I began singing all the songs along with the Kingston Trio. I loved listening to them.
This takes me back over 60 years ago when life was worth looking forward too.many of my family and friends have died and the world lifestyle has changed vastly .I'm that depressed I m not bothered if I don't wake up tomorrow
Ps I forgot this thread is not about me .GREAT RECORD
Better times will come to you.
Bob Shane
February 1, 1934 to January 26, 2020
Rest in Peace
Indeed! And thank you for teaching me English (together with Peter, Paul & Mary and Harry Belafonte)!
I’m from NC and “ Tom Doorley” was a real man who killed his girlfriend in Western NC” The Songwriter changed his name to “Dooley” for the song!
Thanks Connie Crawford for that info. I didn’t know it was a true story. Use to sing as a kid and play the 45 RPM record all the time.
Connie Crawford: when I googled it, it showed Tom Dula 1866 -68 Supreme court case Tom Dula and Ann Melton were accused of the murder of Laura Foster. Dula, a Confederate veteran, was defended by the former North Carolina Governor, Zebulon B. Vance.
ridgview Yeah? I forgot the spelling was Dula which, in the mountains of NC, is pronounced closer to “ Dooley”.The story was known in NC history for years before the Kingston Trio made the story famous!
We sang this song in elementary school music class in Colorado back in the late 60’s. I remember we all sang with this with great gusto…a different time!
I was stunned by these guys from the first notes. Still feel like a college kid hearing them.,,
I was 4 years old. Didn't know English, but feel the story🙈
The Kingston Trio were the greatest act of that era, until the Beatles changed the music forever.
Hey how are you doing..?
Great lyrics great harmony. Music has degraded for so many reasons. The likes of this group will never be witnessed again.
They're making music like this right now as we speak it's just not publicized by America's media so no radio player television play they opted for the dirty rap
Haunting and really catchy. It's hard to forget this song!!
I sure do miss the 70s, 80s and 90s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
@@derekkess5764 not favorite just haunting. Too sad to be my favorite lol. I am a big fan of country music esp the ones before 90s. Kenny rogers, don william, anne murray....
@@SharmishthaBasu it's addictive listening to these song, Unfortunately, artist today have no inspiration and no talent for music. Where are you from if you don't mind me asking? I'm from Apeldoorn, Netherlands
@@derekkess5764 yes. These artists gave life to their songs and moved us with their songs. I will rather hear them again and again. Songs are now sung to make money not art. I am from kolkata, India.
The Kingston Trio forever!! They were the greatest band of their era. This is a great moment in time. Thanks Milton for having them on your programme.
Milton Berle gave us Elvis, too. He was quite progressive!
Brings back memories from my childhood in the 1950's
The song was popular even in the 1960s
Such fantastic harmony. ❤
One of the greatest musical trios of the fifties!
~Dutch
When I was 11 years old, living in a small Oregon coastal logging town, my parents owned a grocery store there. One day this little toe-head boy about 8 or 9 came into the backroom where I was and started talking a mile a minute. His dad started looking for him and came into the back room this tanned, well-dressed mustachioed short man. The young boy told me"this is my dad, Nick Reynolds". I didn't know him from adam. Well, Nick and family moved to my little town and lived there for the next 15-20 years. Once we realized who that was, we learned all their songs and can sing them verbatim to this day.
The real deal, Dave, Nick, and Bob, and we couldn't get enough of these guys and their sound. To this day, nothing has touched this solid American music.
Those were the days my friend.
Good old happy days reminiscent of the mandolin the guitar and the trio so.plain and simple with a story of Justice .
Folk singing has always been popular.
Yes! I was 5 but loved this song 🎶
...and when ! was 12 I was listening
to them in Italy.
then Elvis arrived,
then Jerry LL, then Tony Cash.and then and then....
now I think the music is tired!😀👋
The first song I remember as a child.Its so sad..
The first song I ever learned on the piano (age 7) because you could play it on the black keys.
One of my first too.
Their music are immortalized by singers & fans all over the world,it never gets out of fashion.
A great song and band, I. Remember this song and I'll be 75 my next birthday.
I saw them ~1998? in Burlington Vermont. The Shaw Brothers opened.
The Shaw Brothers were fantastic.
About the third song from the Kingston Trio the people in the crowd started leaving and actually a few songs later we did too.
Not every group stands the test of time gracefully and they just sounded loud.
The Shaw Brothers were worth it though.
The day we lost storytelling music, was the day we lost real music.
We still have steve Martin and his story telling music so it’s not totally dead
It's still around but you'll never hear it on the radio. While you're on RUclips, check out Mean Mary; songs like Rose Tattoo.
@@odiltm259 nah. Music is dead. Do you know what guys in 1958 and 1558 said? 'The day we lost storytelling music was the day music died.
@@michaelrauch4866 go listen to Colter Wall or Tyler Childers and tell me music is dead
1946年生 懐かしい！！ 中学生の頃、夢中で聞いていた♬
Wahnsinn , immer noch super!
Das kann Ich glauben, aber Ich kann nur mine gummy shua nicht finden.
Just saying this is some straight up talent
Wow now and then RUclips nails it Kingston trio hard like to follow
I remember seeing this when it was live on tv...I was 9 or 10 years old.
I remember these songs very well
My Dad used to sing this to my sister and I when we were kids .
I wonder if they had any idea of how iconic this song would become, they do such a nice job with it.
It helped start a folk revolution that moved a generation.
Tom Dooley by the Kingston Trio is OK, but I like a lot better Johnny Rivers' version.
Neil Young really kicks a great version of Tom “Dula” in his Americana album.
Classic Country and Western music.
This is super cool. This displays the amazing chemistry these guys had from the starting gate.
Nick Reynolds, Dave Guard and Bob Shane . These 3 guys are the originals and there was no one better.
When was John Stewart, the guy who sang "gold" a member of this group?
Dave Guard went to play to "The Weavers".
@@gregorymcgee100 Dave guard left in the early 60s and John Stewart replaced him
@@jonah8332 Stewart wrote songs for the Trio for a few years prior to Guards leaving in '60. Stewart was hired to replace him but there were legal actions between Guard and Shane as to who owned the name. It was finally settled and Stewart became the 4th "original" member of the Trio until the group disbanded in '67. There have been iterations of the group ever since and the group continues to this day. Sadly Guard, Stewart, Reynolds, and Shane have passed - in that order.
@@tomsampson8084 John Stewart never became a full financial member, certainly a performing and writing member but was only paid a salary and not ownership as far as I know.
After being introduced to The Kingston Trio in 1959 at the age of 10 by my college student sister, I was hooked. Sixty years later, I still sing [and remember the words to] Scotch and Soda, The MTA and Merry Minuet. The original Kingston Trio, gone, but never forgotten.
i was born in 1950 and we grew up with all this music. didn't we have a time.
The shirts appear to be made from a mattress cover.
here's a funny one, i live in the boston area and we had friends from california visiting so we took them into boston on the subway system. well i like to sing and i sang outloud for them the whole mta song while danced about the car. i sort of created a bit of a scene there because the other passengers were like wtf is with this guy but we had a good laugh over it.
Even as a tender 12-year old, I could appreciate the ironic humor of the Merry Minuet. I've always had a soft spot for Raspberries, Strawberries. Scotch and Soda is a gem. MTA is plain silly. Live at the Hungry I is my favorite KT album.
This is where it all began for me, at the tender age of eight in 1958, after seeing them on Ed Sullivan.
Yes, love the hungry i. College Concert from '65 is great too.
Very sad to hear of Bob Shane's death. Only saw them in person once-at the Circle Star theater in the Bat Area-and they were great. Sounds crazy, but I think the Trio and Moby Grape had the best vocal harmonies of any musical group I ever heard.
I’m lucky to have reached 82 - and remember this song very well - Thank you!
May you have many more years.
100 more!
I'm just a couple of years behind you, I remember it well and it's still a great song.
I am 80 now and also remembr 🤗❤️
@@Lovedisillusion I hope you have many more good years to come.
Most people in America hang down their head, This song resonates with America’s troubles from the time it was settled. America is like Siberia, we know where it is , don’t want to go there. It’s the most racist , divided country in the whole wide world.
I think they refereed my high school games! But I love them
I see what you did there.
Great comment
Mine too!
As a kid I was always very saddened when my father sang this song, although I didn't quite understand it.
Einmal 1962 in Kansas City gewesen musste das Kingston Trio gleich als Souvenir mit nach Good Old Germany.
We used to sing this song in school as a second or third grader. Not sure why.
Note that he referred to them as college men. Times they have changed.
Me watching this for orchestra class
Who else is with me?
Me.i have Always loved them.they are so good,only on accustic instruments and voice,no mix and trix! They were real artists.
Brilliant
Super ricordi di gioventù
that was so good....
I'm 74 and these guys got me playing guitar and being in folk groups for the next 30 years.
Thanks for sharing this. It brings me straight to my childhood, driving in the Buick with my father humming the bass. Man, the images this song created in my young mind were vivid.
guy I remember listening to this song with my father driving in his car when I was seven.
One of the greatest folk songs i have enjoyed for many years
My late mother sang thos to me when i was little. I still miss her. I love you mother
sorry for your loss god bless.
Once upon a time when I was young....
It is the best song in 50 years
Hello how are you doing today..?
THE KINGSTON TRIO 8-time Nominees, 3-time Grammy winners, including 2011 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award
Billboard Awards: Best New Singing Group
Vocal Group Hall of Fame, Hit Parade Hall of Fame, Library of Congress: Historical Recordings (Tom Dooley)
Charted Hits: Tom Dooley, MTA (He’ll Never Return), Where Have All The Flowers Gone, Greenback Dollar, This Land Is Your Land, etc.
Isn’t it amazing the difference in a #1 song then compared to now. Being 70 years old I guess I would know, right.
"A beautiful woman" who doomed the man. Learn the whole story. Better luck next time, Tom.
My father, Stan, introduced me to this trio in 1970 (ish) and I will never be able to thank him enough. RIP Dad.
They're all gone now. Loved their music.
No they're not Join us
Me, I had the Lonnie Donegan version of this: he was performing a lot of US folk songs at the time - instead of the usual Moon in June that we used to hear mostly
How are we supposed to feel badly for Tom Dooley, what about the beautiful girl?
Well. I reckon he lost his mind in a fit of passion.
True story. Happened 20 miles from where I live.
When I was a kid that was one of my favorite songs.
Hello Joann, How are you doing?
Me 2
The legend of Tom Dula, or Dooley as he came to be known, happened just an hour from where I live. Tom Dula courted Laura Foster as did Bob Grayson, a local schoolteacher. But another married woman Ann Melton was also in love with Dula. When she learned of Laura Foster, she killed her in a jealous rage. Dula was accused of the murder so he fled to Tennessee, Grayson led a posse and captured Dula and returned him to Wilkes County, NC to stand trial. Dula learned that Melton had actually killed Foster. Rather than reveal the truth, his sense of chivalry led him to falsely confess to the murder to spare Melton the gallows. After Dula was hanged, Melton slowly went insane from the guilt of an innocent man, the one she loved, dying to save her. Legend has it that as she lay dying on her deathbed, the trees outside her house were filled with black cats and the air smelled of burning flesh od demons waiting to take her soul to hell.
Love that so song! It brings back so many memories of a simpler time!
Wow. Tom Dooley was a rough first date. 5 or 6 years later they loaned their shirts to the Beach Boys.
"Tom Dooley came home to his love from the Civil War, in short order she gave him a social disease.
Which isn't fatal unless you give it to Tom Dooley."
That's how Nick Reynolds told it when I saw them in a night club.
As a college freshman in 1961, I had a number of vertical-striped button-downs which my roommate always called my "Kingston Trio shirts."
@@tombrown1796 -- In their early days, the Beach Boys stole their shirts from the Kingston Trio and their music from Chuck Berry. Later on, of course, that changed.
@@KeithE4 The beach boys didn't steal their music from anyone. Brian Wilson acknowledged he put the pause into "surfin usa" because he liked it in Chuck Berry's song "sweet little 16." Berry then sued him. Brian, the ultimate nice guy, just gave him songwriting credit instead of fighting one of his heros in court. If anything Chuck Berry stole that song....which he never contributed anything to...from Brian.
@@donellis8746 -- Dude, he admitted to writing Surfin' USA to Berry's Sweet Little Sixteen. And the band paid the price for it. Brian never repeated his mistake, unlike, for example, Jimmy Page.
The REAL Kingston Trio, great find
P G To be honest I'm shocked they were allowed to sing it on television because it isn't the most cheerful song in the world
@@connorjones9250
But the REAL American people appreciate the REAL truth, seems to me. People who love music, may not always spend time reading the papers, rather listening to music, so in this way, they hear the human tragedies in such a way that honest self-reflecting, introspective human souls will think twice about being cruel to one another. Song writers and musicians are important in society. I hope that music doesn't die out, at the same time, we are fortunate to have the digital technology to hear the past greats....even if such music isn't being generated anymore.
@@connorjones9250 That's what folk music is - love, sex, and murder, all set to a 4/4 beat.
just great
Hey how are you doing..?
those faces thogh..my great grandparents have this LP..I seen it in the attic
They were responsible for me collecting records of folk singers while other kids were collecting 45''s of rock and roll.
This was one of my grandfathers favorite songs. Hope he gets to listen to it for the rest of eternity. Love you gramps.
Connor. This is wonderful. Thank you for posting. Josh Reynolds
I loved these guys in the 1950s when I was a kid. Great songs! It's good to hear them again!!
I sure do miss the 70s, 80s and 90s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
When this song came out it made me cry, I was only five...
We have lost something as a country..... I'm not sure what it is, but we've lost it ...
Yeah we have lost common decency, integrity, and self-respect. Not all of us, but enough to ruin a social and moral society. To much letting off bad behavior. Too much making excuses for others rather than holding them accountable. Liberalism has destroyed a great country.
If you got that feeling I'd bet you're over 50...I'm 77 myself and feel the same, but I'm pretty sure that people under 40 don't understand why we feel that way.
That's because they never knew the glorious days back when America was truly great, a nation admired and envied by the whole world... I remember the Kennedy years and nothing now is like it was then. Those were the days.
I am old enough to remember these guys and the song.
Oh how this takes me back and a natrual talent that went way beyond the boundaries of America I am the same age as Mr Seaman and although l am not an American l agree 100 % America was admired the world over now its disgusts many as corporate greed is all invasive and the American Dream all but gone as people live from paycheck to paycheck and education and maners take a back seat armed thugs threaten law and order No one envies America now
I’m not sure where you commenters are going on this. But my take is this.
It used to be where, through song or poetry, you could inhabit the mind and soul of a criminal and feel sympathy for him because God knows what let him be so consumed by his passion as to take this woman’s life.
In today’s world, a song with such lyrics, that ask the listener to sympathize with a killer while not excusing him, could never, ever, be recorded. The Kingston Trio and the recording company would be dragged through the streets for even daring to suggest sympathy. Are you not aware how this would go down with feminism, Me Too etc...?
What have we lost? We’ve lost the right to see the plight of the human condition in its many aspects. You must either hate or support according to which way you’re directed.
Almost the beginning of greatness (this was actually their second 45, Three Jolly Coachmen / Scarlet Ribbons was first). One of the most impeccable legacies in all of music. Humbled and grateful that I got to know Bob Shane, Dave Guard and Nick Reynolds a bit in their final years. Job well done, gentlemen. Thank you for your service.
Tom Dooley what a song unbelievable they started the folk revival a little corny but wonderful songs
Terrific the original group and weren’t they so good!
Brings back a lot of memories. First time I had ever heard this and Peter, Paul and Mary doing Puff the Magic Dragon. I was somewhere under the Atlantic ocean on a submarine listening on the (unauthorized) juke box in the mess area. Great times for sure.
2019...
From Indonesia Bogor City....👍👍👍
I grew up with the Kingston Trio, Brothers Four, Pete Seeger, Peter Paul and Mary and Judy Collins. I would listen to Nick, Bob and John over and over again. My brother Tim and his best friend Tommy sang folk songs in Cleveland and down at Kent State bars during that time of life. Those were the good old days of sing -a-longs and simpler times. RIP all of you who have given us some of the best real music of our lives.
