| The original Kingston Trio of Bob Shane, Nick Reynolds, and Dave Guard performs an old train song from the nineteenth century popularized in the 1950s by the late Bob Gibson, one of the seminal performers in the pop folk boom. Gibson had adapted the song from performer Lew Sully's 1898 copyrighted version; Sully likely borrowed the tune from an traditional Irish song. "To Morrow" appeared on "String Along," (1960) which was the KT's fifth consecutive studio album to reach the number one spot on the "Billboard Magazine" charts, where it stayed for ten weeks and earned the Trio its fifth gold record. Few artists today have matched the Kingston Trio's chart success of fifty years ago. Their 46 total weeks with an album in the top spot still ranks among the best ever for any artist that "Billboard" has ever tracked. |
