Thread Name: Question: The Brothers Four
Subject: RE: Question: The Brothers Four
The Brothers Four were one of the great groups to emerge during the 'folk music revival' of the 1960's, IMHO. A worthy companion of the Kingston Trio; Chad Mitchell Trio; Limelighters; Peter,Paul and Mary; New Christy Minstrels, to name a few and not to mention a host of great individual folk singers. I still have 3 'Brothers Four' albums on old 33 1/3 records: 'In Person,' 'Greatest Hits,' and 'More Big Folk Hits.' Since the mid-1970 my interest has been almost completely focused on Celtic [Irish and Scottish] music, but I still occasionally enjoy listening to some of the old 'folk' performers. What passes today for 'popular music' does nothing for me and noise like 'hip-hop'and 'rap' hardly merit being referred to as music [IMHO, of course!]
