Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio formed in San Francisco, California, where they got their big break during an eight month gig at the Purple Onion. Dave Guard, Bob Shane and Nick Reynolds were the originators of the folk music craze of the 1960s.

During their impressive career, they had 17 songs on the Top 100 chart, with five hitting the Top Twenty, including a Number One Gold record too. In addition, five out of their first six albums went all the way to #1 for a total of 46 weeks!

For this week's Voice Your Choice on Treasure Island Oldies we offer two of their biggest hits. Choose either: Tom Dooley or Reverend Mr. Black.

You can vote for the song you would like to hear by going to Treasure Island Oldies and then clicking on the Voice Your Choice button.
