Sad news. Kingston Trio founder, Nick Reynolds, died last Wednesday in San Diego, California, due to acute respiratory disease and other illnesses. His family decided to take him off of life support.
Reynolds along with Bob Shane and Dave Guard formed the Kingston Trio in the mid-1950s. Their first hit song was "Tom Dooley" in 1958. The group was an influence on Joan Baez and Bob Dylan.
In 1961, Dave Guard left and John Stewart joined the Trio as his replacement. Stewart passed away back in January of this year.
