I have most of their original albums. During a time when there was a plethora of folk groups these guys (and the Chad Mitchell Trio) stood out as being 'different'. Glenn's lyrical voice a great feature of their music.
I attended NYU in the Village during the golden age of folk music. Was fortunate enough to see the Limeliters at the Bitter End on Bleecker Street in 1962. Fabulous show! By the way, who are those four guys in the photo anyway?
There was a time when a small group of people could entertain an audience without a huge sound system and a 200 light rig. All they needed was talent.
I only went to one concert by the Limeliters. That was over 50 years ago and I still count it as one of the most memorable evenings of my life. Thanks guys, I miss you.
@Lindybill Actually ... the song refers to the golden buttons as rusting, not because they actually rust, but because of what they look like when they have been bled on ...
Thank you so much for posting this. My dad had four limeliters records that I listened to all the time as a child (1960s & early 70s), and I've enjoyed listening to some of their songs again on youtube. So glad that you've posted this one.

I've been hearing this song since the album first came out (my parents were big fans), and I still get chicken skin at the last verse.

@Blackcatholman Talent! THAT"S what's missing these days. Rappers, viva's, looks, escapades, notoriety, everything but talent.

The erroneous picture is of The Limelighters who were a barbershop quartet out of Canton, OH.

Love this medley. Lost this album during a move about 20 years ago. The Limeliters were so much a part of the music I listened to back in the '60s.

Gold doesn't rust, actually. Neither does brass for that matter.
