It looks like all founding members of the Brothers Four are still with us. One, in fact, is married to Loni Anderson.

The Highwaymen, not so lucky. Steve Butts and Steve Trott are still healthy. Trott went to Harvard, got law degree and was eventually appointed by Ronald Reagan to the infamous 9th Circuit of Appeals in California.

I really wish people would include both the Easy Riders and the Country Gentlemen in these discussions. The Easy Riders had a few of their songs covered by the Highwaymen and the Brothers Four. The Kingston Trio actually swiped a major portion of their early material from the Easy Riders.

The Gents, on the other hand, both sang and played circles around the competition.
