The Limeliters debut album "Tonight: In Person," for RCA Victor was a smash hit on the Billboard album charts, reaching the number five position and staying on for over a year. Recorded live at the Ash Grove in Hollywood on July 29, 1960. I love the background noises in these older recordings, such as bottles and glasses clanking, along with muted coughs and voices coming from the crowd. Glenn Yarbrough, who is singing here, reached fame later with the song; "Baby, The Rain Must Fall."

@HollyYarbrough Holly, your dad's singing got me through some very trying times. This song brings back memories of some very good times! He truly is a treasure! Thanks for sharing him with us!

There was a cover of the (I think) Rod McKuen song, "Some Trust in Chariots" on the "Live at the Hungry I" album that really would be very appropriate in today's America. I wish it were available on YouTube.

Holly, I've seen your dad, with and without the Limeliters, several times over the last 30+ years, and have never ceased to be impressed. It's little enough to say that he was one of the best folk singers ever. He was, and is, one of the best SINGERS ever.
Thank your dad for all of us, his fans, for giving us so many hours of pleasure over the years with his voice.

as a 60's student at a very difficult college, music was my "out". I don't think I'd have made it without the Limelighters. The whole is greater than the sum of the numbers.
Glenn is the greatest lyric tenor ever. Does anyone have a copy of "Daisy a Day"to post?

@HollyYarbrough Hi, Holly. Your father's singing and that of his partners were among my favorites when I was in college in the mid/late 60s. It was a different time back then, and I am glad to have been there. I am also glad to hear and see these postings.

What is the Limeliters tune about a BURRO, the funeral for a burro. I used to know it, and I know how it sounds, but I forget it's name. Please help me rememeber. Thanks.
