Kingston Trio - It Was A Very Good Year - 1961 1st RECORDED HIT

From "Goin' Places" 1961.
REMADE BY: Frank Sinatra (1966 • Frank Sinatra - It Was... )
It Was A Very Good Year (Ervin Drake) by The Kingston Trio, recorded January 16, 1961
Bob Shane’s gentle treatment of the Ervin Drake song was included in the LP “Goin’ Places,“ which marked the final album appearance of trio member Dave Guard (replaced by John Stewart later in 1961). The famous Frank Sinatra recording--with its Grammy-winning Gordon Jenkins arrangement--didn’t come along until 1965 (listen here: • Frank Sinatra - It Was... ).
