Randy Sparks, founder of the New Christy Minstrels, has died at age 90.
They had a low-charting record in 1962 and two records on the charts in
1963 (plus other hits outside our era). More interesting is that former
members of the group include Steve Martin, Kenny Rogers, John Denver,
Barry McGuire, and Kim Carnes.

And a fun fact: Randy Sparks's real name was not Randall or Randolph,
but........Lloyd.

They were popular over here for a while in the mid-60's just scraping the UK charts with the comedic "Three Wheels On My Wagon"
