It sounds like this brought back at least one good memory, coming home, to you. I am happy that you made it back.

Baez was one of the best soloists of that early folk singing group.

Thanks for agreeing with me. Look into their original songs. They're brilliant.

That would be the Animals, with Eric Burdon as lead singer. It was a big favorite with the troops in 'Nam. 8-)

Perhaps my favorite folk song was 'Today,' written by John Denver. Randy Sparks won the court battle over who wrote the lyrics, but Denver swore to writing them. In any event, Denver's version of the song was a 'dandy', so to speak. :thumbup: Beautiful :!:

Yes, but Glenn Yarborough broke away from them on a solo career, and was brilliant himself with hits such as 'Baby, The Rain Must Fall,' and 'Lonesome,' among others. The Limelighters were considered the voice of Coca-Cola for some time with their 'Things go better with Coke' tune/jingle. :wink:
