I would not have know his name, but heck yea, I know the Kingston Trio. As a matter of fact I'm sure I have an album or two of theirs back in Michigan. Gosh, I think I was in Junior High or younger when they came out with, "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" and I particularly remember "Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley". They were "folk" music musicians who's music crossed over to pop charts. A pleasant harmony. Boy, talk about a blast from the distant past.
Sadly, adding to the list another popular figure from the past, did you hear that the original Mr. Clean died??? I was a kid when the commercials first came out. I still remember the popular jingle....."Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean." Now, if anyone had him on their "Dead Pool" list, I'd be shocked.
