		In fact, early comments are, that this trio is as close to the original as any over the years.
		The "Hungry-I" in San Francisco was packed that night in 1959 to hear the sensational new folk trio whose reputation had preceded them from a small club in Aspen called The Limelite.
		I think that the three of you capture what was so wonderful about 60's Folk Groups and that is the harmony blend that becomes one complete voice.

	MTV.com - The Limeliters
		Along with the Kingston Trio, the Limeliters were one of the most successful folk groups of the early 1960s, a time when the folk music revival was in itself a sort of backlash against the anti-establishment rock & roll generation.
		As individuals, the Limeliters were each extraordinarily talented, but emotionally incompatible (Hassilev often referred to the group members as "the Bicker Brothers").
		Between 1961 and 1963, the Limeliters were one of the hottest acts in show business.

		The Limeliters were one of the more successful folk groups of the early 1960s, especially in terms of representing the movement's backlash against rock 'n' roll.
		I didn't follow the Limeliters after lead singer Glenn Yarbrough left his mates Lou Gottlieb and Alex Hassilev to go solo, and even during their heyday, they were my third favorite act of the late '50's folk revival, behind the Kingston Trio and the Chad Mitchell Trio.
		Although I had heard the Limeliters on LPs (particularly "Through Children's Eyes") for several years, it was this manifestation of the group-- Lou Gottlieb, Alex Hassilev, and Red Grammer-- that I first saw in concert, and it was almost exactly the same show as presented on this album.

		The Limeliters still use arrangements written by another founding member, Lou Gottlieb.
		The Limeliters' current lineup has the best musical balance in the group's history, Hassilev said.

		The Limeliters were a Hollywood-based folk trio who managed to successfully integrate smooth harmonies, light political satire and general humor into a national spotlight.
		At a time when popular music was beginning to gain an edge, the music of the Limeliters portrayed a simpler, jollier America where educated wisecracks and sing-alongs could suffice as entertainment.
		The band split apart in 1963 as Yarbrough went on to contribute to the melodramatic oceanside ponderings of Rod McKuen while other founding member Lou Gottlieb went on to form Morning Star Ranch, one of the original San Francisco communes.

	Lou Gottlieb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Louis Gottlieb, bassist and lofty comic spokesman for The Limeliters, is highly symbolic of the so-called "new comedy" (Mort Sahl, Nichols and May, Lenny Bruce, etc.) a new generation of unabashed intellectuals who not only refuse to talk down to an audience, but also wouldn't know how.
		In July, 1959, The Limeliters appeared as a trio for the first time at the "hungry i" in San Francisco, with Lou as "the comic-arranger- musicologist, Glenn the golden-voiced tenor and guitarist, and Alex the instrumental virtuoso" (to quote from one of their song collections, "Cheek In Our Tongue").
		San Francisco music critic John Wasserman said the Limeliters "attained a stature equalled perhaps only by the Kingston Trio and the Weavers." The group's biggest hit was "A Dollar Down" in 1961, but was well known for its 15 records albums and its concerts during the 1960s.

		It was a moment of epiphany during the speedy two-and-one-half-hour concert Jan. 22, an extraordinary entertainment by the Fabulous Limeliters, the folk music trio that originated in 1959, persevered through several incarnations, and thrives today, achieving iconic status.
		After honing their act at the Limelite during the winter of 1958-59, the group headed for the Hungry i in San Francisco, leaving the likes of the Smothers Brothers, a folk/comedy act, to perform in Aspen in their wake.
