"M.T.A.", often called "The MTA Song", is a 1949 song by Jacqueline Steiner and Bess Lomax Hawes. Known informally as "Charlie on the MTA", the song's lyrics tell of a man named Charlie trapped on Boston's subway system, then known as the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA). The song was originally recorded as a mayoral campaign song for Progressive Party candidate Walter A. O'Brien. A version of the song with the candidate's name changed became a 1959 hit when recorded and released by the Kingston Trio, an American folk group. The song has become so entrenched in Boston lore that the Boston-area transit authority named its electronic card-based fare collection system the "CharlieCard" as a tribute to this song. The transit organization, now called the Massachusetts Bay Transportation A...

Mary Allin Travers (November 9, 1936 -- September 16, 2009) was an American singer-songwriter and member of the folk music group Peter, Paul and Mary, along with Peter Yarrow and Noel (Paul) Stookey. Peter, Paul and Mary were one of the most successful folk-singing groups of the 1960s. Unlike most folk musicians who were a part of the early 1960s Greenwich Village music scene, Travers grew up in that New York City neighborhood. Mary Travers was born in Louisville, Kentucky, to Robert Travers and Virginia Coigney, both journalists and active organizers for The Newspaper Guild, a trade union. In 1938, the family moved to Greenwich Village in New York City. Travers attended the Little Red School House there, but left in the 11th grade to pursue her singing career. While in high school, Trav...

The Kingston Trio's place in the sun was etched in stone virtually from the get-go. The band formed in 1957 and by the following year had a very successful single called "Tom Dooley" resting atop the pop charts. The trio, though certainly more commercially viable than some of the more authentic folkies of the late '50s, had a lot to do with the success of the folk revival in that era; folk music rang out from college campuses everywhere in the late '50s and '60s as the genre's left-leaning stylists were part of the evolving changing social atmosphere in America. Whether or not they knew their music was paving the way for artists more deeply involved in these changes (Bob Dylan, Joan Baez), it did sell plenty of records. And the folk revival of this era mirrored the Depression-era folk musi...

Back in Town is a live album by the folk music group The Kingston Trio, released in 1964.. It reached number 22 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart and is the final concert album recorded by the Trio for Capitol Records. This is not the entire concert of "Back In Town," but if I included the entire act, it would not play in the same sequence as the record.
A notable feature of The Kingston Trio album, "Something Special," is that it was highly orchestrated, using strings, brass instruments and a choir by the Jimmy Haskell Orchestra. Many fans preferred the scaled back acoustic variants of these songs, without the orchestral overdubbing. The twelfth track, "Old Joe Clark," is as it was originally recorded.
MYSTERY GUEST: The Kingston Trio PANEL: Arlene Francis, Tony Randall, Phyllis Newman, Bennett Cerf
I think this group isThe New Frontiers and it recorded at somewhere in '70. but this group may be EAST which is succession group of the New Frontiers.
Try To Remember
Artists: The Kingston Trio-from their 1963 LP "The Kingston Trio #16"
Words and Music by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt from the musical "The
Fantasticks"
Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain so yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a young and a callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow--follow, oh-oh
Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow--follow, oh-oh
(brief instrumental interlude)
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Without a hurt, the heart is hollow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made you mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember
Then follow--follow, oh-oh
Follow, oh-oh
