  • Starvation is not proof of artistic integrity.

  • I think it is sad that any music group would whore out their most famous songs inorder to stuff another buck in their pocket. Eventhough the Kingston Trio sound was entertaining, what was still applies; they were not folk singers as their songs, like these 7up songs, lacked a real conviction as The weavers or Pete Segar's songs did...and they payed for it latter. Gaurd could see the writting on the wall and was the smarter for leaving in 1961.for $300,000 dollars+ Royalties.

  • @totoytype So what?

  • Wow - a sexy lady descending from a hook in the sky and then hands me a drink -- is that what heaven is like?

  • These are very fun! Thanks for posting.

  • No blacks in the subway at all.

  • what the hell commercials are no longer the same now, this is sure.

    Who would turn off the tv or be pissed of at the cinema with commercials like this one?

  • Pure genius, commensurate with their impeccable legacy. Dave Guard and Nick Reynolds are both dearly missed.

  • Same here. Plus I had the 7-Up 45 RPM record promo with a picture sleeve of the Kingston Trio being hoisted up on a palate of 7-Up cases. I wonder where I lost that at?

  • I'm showing my age buit Ir emember seeing tehse commercials when tehy were new.

    I first heard the Trio in 1957 when they nhad their first hit It Takes A Worried Man or Tom Dooley.....I no longer remember which was first.

    I was a fan right up until they disbanded in 1967, saw the reunion group in 1981. I was still doing some of their songs when I was gigging in the mid 90's.
