I'm glad you refreshed this, Jeff. I would have missed it. This song is very familiar to me, but I think the best-known recording was by somebody other than Barry McGuire. I don't know who, though. Maybe is was the New Christy Minstrels, with McGuire singing lead. I know there were female voices singing the "one by one" echo. Maybe it was Glenn Yarbrough. Kingston Trio? I dunno, maybe I should admit I don't know.

ONE BY ONE
(Rod McKuen)

Let's count the times we remember, one by one.
Each June, July, and September, one by one
Some special day, some special time
Some special spring or summertime,
One by one, one by one, count 'em one by one.

There was a time we walked together, two by two
In sunny days or chilly weather, two by two
So far away, so long ago
Where did our golden moments go
One by one, one by one, count 'em one by one.

Love comes and goes like the seasons, four by four
There are no rhymes and no reasons, four by four
It stayed awhile, just like your smile
Then went away like the seasons,
One by one, one by one, one by one.

Glad somebody could help. I didn't want to see a legitimate music thread disappear without an answer. Thanks, Joe!
