Nobody ever mentions the Kingston Trio. They had great harmony and recorded most of their albums without any electronic manipulations. They were songwriters and performers and are credited with the first Grammy for Country Music with Tom Dooley . They recorded Hawaiian melodies and introduced many songs that were later to become standards for other singers and bands. Not only did the arrive and introduce a complete genre of music to the public, they continued long after folk music was passe. They still hold the record for the most albums in the top positions for the longest time.
