| Discussion: Limelighters A personal favorite of the mountain >>By Bad Bear I am trying to find a Limelighters tape or LP that I had years ago. One of the songs on it was called I believe, The River is Wide.....also there was one for children containing the words... rockin, rollin, ridin....all around the bay..... all bound for morningtown many miles away...... ????? Any ideas? >>By Hedgehog could it have been through children's eyes? rockin rollin riden is on that album >>By skipper could it have been through children's eyes? rockin rollin riden is on that album >>By skipper I haven't kept up with the group in recent years. But there was a recent PBS special featuring old folkie groups, and when the Limelighters came on, Lou Gotleib wasn't with them. What happened to him? >>By Old Fan Lou Gottlieb passed away July 11, 1996. If you enter "Lou Gottlieb" into a search engine, you will come up with a number of sites that detail his life, his music and his passing. >>By The Screemin' Eagle I WAS PRIVILEGED TO HEAR THE LIMELIGHTS IN CONCERT AT MODESTO JR COLLEGE IN SPRING OF 1960 AND I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH THE QUALITY OF SOUND AND WODERFUL STAGE PRESENCE AND I HAVE ALWAYS CONSIDERED THEM THE BEST OF THE BEST. CURTISS PETERSEN Through Childresn's eyes. I am listening to it right now as a matter of fact. I would like to find a better copy of it. Mine is scratched and skips from many years of playing it as a child. >>By Rudi` I have been trying for several years to locate an album by the Limelighters which has the title - No More Cane. I had the album back in the sixties but lost it over the years. Maybe I just played it so much that it tuned to dust. Does anyone know where I can find the album or a CD with the title NO MORE CANE ON IT ?? >>By Stuart please please help - who did "tomorrow" limelighters or kingston Trio? I am looking for the words >>By Cee Tee I grew up with Through Children's Eyes, and now I'm trying to find it for my daughter. It was wonderful. >>By BR Through Children's Eyes was a favorite of mine as well. I am searching for a copy to share with my granddaughter. >>By CDR Hedgehog, Rudi, BR, et al In case you have not chased down a replacement of Through Childrens Eyes or some of our other favorites Amazon.com has them on CD >>By Bo Does anyone have the lyrics to Western Wind. Love that song. Thanks Shadar225 >>By Shadar I have a CD of Through Children's eyes, (my father made it from our Record) and it is my 3 year old's favorite music - as it was mine. She can't get enough of "move over and make room for Marty", I am hoping to find some other CDs, too. I hope the remaining Limelighters are all well and enjoying their lives. >>By Min I have several Limelighters recordings including Sing Out, Through Children`s eyes, and the Fabulous Limelighters. I enjoy listening to all of them especially Through Children`s Eyes. I used to know the lyrics to almost all of the songs on the Sing Out album. Sad to hear about Lou Gotlieb`s passing. He was a great singer and entertainer. >>>>by Michael >>By boxcarmike4449 My ex-husband is a cousin to Shep, according to what he has told me. It made me feel proud whenever I heard Shep singing,"Daddy's Home", although I was not fortunate enough to have ever met Shep. >>By Skip The way Shep got his name was he was a shepherd and he used to sing to his sheep. One day, he got kind of lonely, and he sang to his favorite sheep Usama, "How I've waited for this moment, to sample your chops, I'll bang you, but they'll hang me, if you baaah to the cops, Daddy's home, with his bone, to stay, I'm not a million lambchops away!' Well, Capitol loved the song but made Shep change the lyrics - AND his drawers - and the rest is rock and roll history! So the next time you're feeling wooly, stick your wick in a sheep that's slick and call yourself 'Dick' Clark! >>By wildman the song Tomorrow, was recorded by The Kingston Trio . >>By gateway three I'm not sure how this works, but I would like to post a note. Have the Limeliters ever done any videos? Particularly "through Children's Eyes"? I was hoping that that concert was recorded on tape somewhere. >>By bernie Would like to know the names of the original Limelighters. >>By KAB Ispent many years in the frozen north country had very few records, but what I did have were the lime lighters. I didn't wear them totally out as I still treasure them today >>By Lynn Some time in 1976 I was in a small town along the beaches of Oregon. Happened upon a poster for a folk music evening... Turned out to be Glenn Lou and Alex warming up for thier reunion tour. I hope all is well at the Moring Star Groopie Rest Home, RIP Dr Gottlieb. >>By Hitch Would like to know the names of the original Limelighters. Glenn Yarborough, Alex Hasilev, Lou Gottlieb, spelled from memory... >>By Hitch a cd has been released and can be found on amazon.com Glen Yarborough and the Limelighters "Through Children's Eyes" Songs I remember: Lolipop song tingo lay o morningtown my mom still has the original album >>By frotus Is that the 'morning town ride' originally recorded by the Irish Rovers? >>By Hitch 11/23/04 Hi.... I'd like to address all of your questions about the band. 1.) It's spelled "Limeliters", not "Limelighters", which might explain why people are having trouble finding copies of their albums on the web. 2. "Through Children's Eyes" had "Morningtown Ride" on it. ("Rockin', rollin' ridin', out along the bay, all bound for Morningtown, many miles away.....") 3.) The Limeliters have a website where you can purchase ALL of their music, past and present. It's www.limeliters.com. You can also purchase their albums on the same sites where other albums can be purchased, ie. amazon.com. 4.) The Limeliters continue making music and touring in spite of the death of their beloved band mate "Lou Gottlieb". The current incarnation continues to make music and tour to this very day. Only one of the original band members remains (Alex Hassilev), but their music continues to be among the best around today. Their website gives bios on all members past and present. It sounds like there are a lot of die hard Limeliters fans out there, just like me. I grew up listening to "Through Children's Eyes". I enjoy it as much as an adult, as I did as a child. This year, I'm buying a c.d. or tape of it for my nephews for Christmas. I sing "Lollipop Tree" and "B-A Bay" with them, all the time, so now they'll be able to sing-along with the Limeliters, too. All the best, and happiest of holidays to all of you.....(It's not too late to buy copies of their music before the holidays!) Hope this helps..... dutchgirl1960 >>By dutchgirl1960 Does anyone know how much it would cost to buy Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 of the Limelighters' "Alive! In Concert" vinyls still in original wrapping, never played? >>By Neko You are not logged in. To access all functionality, you can log in via Flork.
