I guess after Randy Sparks died this year, they disbanded? Randy Sparks signed an album for me several years ago when they were in Newberry, SC at the opera house and did a great show. I loved Berry McGuire's big bold voice too.
Okay, Kenny Rogers is always credited as having been in the New Christy Minstrels, and I just read that he played double bass? Is that him on the bass at 2:46? So hard to tell without the beard...
Hello Allen, The bassist in this video is Clarence Treat. (original member) I read where Kenny joined later in 1966. Here is a link to a Facebook page with a photo of Kenny with the Minstrels. m.facebook.com/KennyRogersOfficial/photos/a.285047651525650/1572458579451211/?type=3 Thanks for your comments!
One of our fine RU-vid commentators, indeed one “raymondviolot1710,” lets loose with an apparent acronym (WINC) which may be unknown to some RU-vid viewers.
