    Grew up in a small city in Saskatchewan. An aunt and uncle came up from San Francisco, in a VDub Bug with the first Limelighter's album in hand. My older sisters were listening to Motown. I later worked in a studio that recorded a lot of Powwow music. Music has been a part of my life forever. Now, I go out in the yard with my Ipod on and my earbuds in, and experience another world while I am repairing the chicken coop. Ain't life grand?

      Grew up with their albums. San Francisco used to be the kind of place you could drive your gal up to from the Monterey or San Jose and take her to see the show. It's not now, and the music has been killed. Never forget what they stole from you, by turning your compassion and decency into a weapon for evil.

    Two years after this performance, I was working as secretary for Neely Plumb, the manager of the West Coast Record Division of RCA, and met Alex, Lou and Glenn. Glenn had just recently left the group to go solo and I was able to attend some of his recording dates, sitting with Neely while he produced Glenn's songs (sometimes along with Al Schmitt, an engineer extraordinaire who just recently passed).

    The original Limeliters (l-r, Alex Hassilev, the late Lou Gottlieb, Glenn Yarbrough) were the absolute best. I remember seeing them for the first time at Wolf Trap in Vienne, Va., in the summer of 1976. The place was packed, six encores, NOBODY wanted it to end.
    But that's the magic the Limeliters had!

    I loved the Limelighters because of Glen Yarbrough. His voice was unique with its vibrating quality which no one had before, nor since. They were never the same after he went solo. Growing up in the 60’s was great. We had rock and roll and folk songs. It was a wonderful time for music! If you haven’t heard Glen sing Baby the Rain Must Fall, you're really missing a great performance!

    I was probably two years of age when my Dad purchased The Limeliters "Live: In Person". I remember hearing the audience laughing, but also the incredible vocals and musicianship with thos incredible trio. As much as I loved the Kingston Trio, now that I am older (much older! Ha, ha) I realize how extremely talented The Limeliters were. I found a used copy of the Live album five years ago. Just played it again. The memories of my very young youth... Johnny Cash... Marty Robbins... Buck Owens... The Kingston Trio... THE LIMELITERS. They sound incredible today, just as they did 64 years ago.
    There is a three CD set of their greatest hits. I recommend that. Too bad these types of groups aren't played more today.
    Just found this video.
    Whomever posted it, "Thank you".
    Better watch out... I hear "There's a meeting here tonight!"

    I first discovered these guys in the early '60s. I HAD to have the album. I played the hell out of it during one summer. These guys were, as bblaylk noted, amazing. They have a way to harness the velocity of the song without shouting. And, Glenn Yarbrough's voice was nothing short of angelic. By the way, he just turned 80! Time flies. Dennis

      Very jealous you saw them live! Do you have any memories of the concert? Their Civil War Medley is haunting and powerful. It really makes me stop and reflect on the reality of war. I have a few other favorites such as: Corn Whiskey, Everywhere I Look this Morning, By the Risin' of the Moon, Whistlin Gypsy, Far Side of the Hill, and Kerakina. Glenn's sublime voice floats but the baritone voice of Alex Hassilev was key for me in making those folk song lyrics come to life. Also love that aLbum cover photo of them walking across the Golden Gate Bridge!

    Oh, yes. Those were great times, musically. Older brother, now deceased, and his friends would listen to folk music records of the late 50's and early 60's, learn the chords on their guitars, then sing the songs. Occasionally they let me join in. That was honest American music. I treasure it. Brother and friends are all deceased now. Let's keep this music alive, somehow.

    Remembering Glenn Yarbrough born on January 12, 1930. He was an American folk singer and guitarist. He was the lead singer (tenor) with the Limeliters from 1959 to 1963 and also had a prolific solo career. Yarbrough had a restlessness and dissatisfaction with the music industry which led him to question his priorities, later focusing on sailing and the setting up of a school for orphans. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Yarbrough

I was on vacation with a group of airline personnel and low and behold Glenn was there, no one asked him to sing because he was there to relax on this tiny South Pacific Island (Moorea).

    A week ago they were on one of those PBS musical specials (to raise $ and sell CDs), and were great! "Generic Uptempo Folk Song" (on TH-cam somewhere) is a brilliant concept.

    I remember the Shaw Brothers sing this too. But yes, I remember the Limelighters as well.

    I have admired the Limelighters for years! One of my most treasured records (yes I said records) is "Sing Out". I enjoy all the songs on that album, but my favorite is "Golden Bell". Does anyone have the lyrics to that song?

    Thanks for posting. First time I have seen them on video. Been listening to them for a while. My mom told me I should check this trio out. Not only the music but their sense of humor is so addictive. More footage please.

    I must say, my life was really made better by having worn out all of my parents' LPs of the Limeliters. Great concepts in their songs for a four year old to dwell on. Racial tolerance, social harmony, not to mention the damage war brings. I wont ever forget my boys.

    • @majorbarbara1

      I wore the albums out too. It’s interesting that even though they were my parent’s albums, I took to them as a young person even though I couldn’t always understand at a young age some of Lou’s humor, I was still touched by the humanity he imparted.

      Would you believe to this day, when I write something, it usually sounds like Lou wrote it.

    Some time ago, probably 1963, I went to Manhattan's Town Hall, basically to see/hear Jackie Mason. He was horrible; well below my expectations. But the hit of MY evening was The Limelighters, on the same stage either just before or after. I loved them and enjoyed their music for years. But, time goes on. I was looking for their version of Rumania, Rumania (one of their best - among so many others) and was disappointed not to find it on TH-cam. But this and other Limelighters' was great.
