The last of the original members of the Kingston Trio, Bob Shane, died Sunday (Jan. 26), less than a week before his 86th birthday. The folk singer’s death, in Phoenix, of an unspecified cause, was confirmed on Facebook by a niece, Liane Schoen Soer.
The Kingston Trio was the most successful American folk group of the late 1950s and ’60s, placing 23 albums on the Billboard LPs chart. The first five of those—The Kingston Trio (1958), The Kingston Trio at Large (1959), Here We Go Again! (1959), Sold Out (1960) and String Along (1960)—all reached #1, while another nine albums made the top 10.
