I was a huge Kingston Trio fan, but the Brothers Four left me just lukewarm. They just never had either the vibrancy, enthusiasm, or excitement as the KT. Though their harmonies were smooth, there was just no edge to it and they sounded a bit too much like a glee club.

But if the Bro4 still have at least 1 original member today, that is more that I can say about the Kingston Trio, who are now working with two members who were Limeliters replacements.
