- I recorded this on reel-to-reel audio tape, by clipping directly to the speaker of my Zenith TV set during the premiere episode of Hootenanny on April 6, 1963. Included are "Wake Up, Dunia," and "Yes I See." I also recorded (but not included here) Bob Gibson singing "Good News," and Bud & Travis singing "Delia's Gone." Enjoy!
Thank you, thank you! I grew up with the Hootenanny on TV. Love this trip down memory lane!
Thanks for this. What a treasure to find these old Limeliters songs I've never heard before. What a thrill you must have provided to Stephany Yarbrough! The 'Liters were and still are the best.
Many Thanks from Florida!
wow! That's cool! What a clear clean tenor voice!
I remember Hootenanny. This is classic stuff. Thanks for posting. The audio is still very good considering it was on tape all those years.
Lord, whatever happened to great harmony, acoustic accompaniment, and groups that had fun, singing fun songs. It is hard to become a dinosaur!

Thanks Stephany. That is exactly the album I was thinking of. I got it when I was single during the folk music era and played over. After I married, my kids loved to play with the albums, and I really don't know what happened to it.
I think the song that started "Some love to dance, some love to play" was on that album, and may have later been recorded by the Limelighters as a lead in to "There's a meeting here tonight".
I'd like to get a movement going to re-issue the "14 14K Gold" and "Folk Matinee" albums by the Limeliters issued on cd. They were a superb group, and taught me to love music. I miss the original members so much!
Thank you!
I too made some reel to reel recordings directly from the speaker out on the TV. Terrible quality but oh, the memories. Memories of youth and growing up in a far different and better California. No war on the horizon, a great public university system and a bright future. I look back at the videos made in the 60s and the audience shots, I see the crowd at performances at Berkely, at Sac State, Glenn Yarborough at a club in one of the Beach cities. Now I would want an armed guard to walk in any of those places at night. Weep for what we tossed away.
Very good video. I like Glenn Yarborough's singing a lot.
Limeliters-Best Folk Trio of all time. I think they were better with Glen than without him although the replacement was pretty good. Saw them perform once in Detroit in 1960. Great show. Their version of "Those were the days" is the best recording ever. Too bad it isn't on TH-cam. Great group, great singers, great entertainers. Those were the days.
My 24 year old daughter likes the stuff most people her age like. But mention the Limeliters and she can do every song and every bit they ever did! Nobody sings a song like Glenn Yarbrough!
It hopefully has been changed, but when the Coke Museum opened in downtown Atlanta a few years ago, the jingle was played as part of an exhibit on Coke ads.
Unfortunatelhy, they credited the Kington Trio as the artists.
Good video. Does anyone have Glen singing Daisy a Day

My father was not with The Gateway Singers and I think you are thinking of the album with my father and Marilyn Child...hope that helps...
@unclebobunclebob Sorry, my fat fingers typed wrong. It was Elvis Presly, the king that I meant.
Elvis was a great vocalist in his older days when he stopped catoring to the teenie boppers.
I agree-let the naysayers have their say-but the voice is the evidence!!

The audio is definitely superior to the kinescope of the show that exists; unfortunately, "HOOTENANNY" was never preserved on videotape.
That's Bob Gibson singing "Yes I See"
I think it's Glenn Yarborough. But it does sound like Bob.
Glenn Yarborough, the original lead of the Limeliters was one of the best male vocalist of all times, on par with Sinatra, Crosby and Priestley.
loved the show, had all the Limelighter's albums-usually half the songs were a waste, but the other half were gems-Glenn Yarborough could sing!
I had a wonderful album where your Dad sang with a woman singer- but lost both the record and the name.
He was a wonderful singer.
Question- I think the Limelighters were the successors to The Gateway Sincers. Loui Gottlieb was with them- was your father?
Oh please
