With songs like “Tom Dooley,” “M.T.A.,” “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”

and countless others, the Kingston Trio brought the rich tradition

of American folk music into the mainstream for the first time and

influenced the musical tastes of a generation. Through changing times,

the Trio has played on, remaining popular for a simple reason — great

songs that sound as good today as the first time you heard them.
