In a way, this is a precursor to the "sunshine pop" of the Sixties and early Seventies. Way fun and cool.
Russell Montague
Absolutley, Baroque pop and Chamber pop owe a lot to this as well. Great song!
Allen Murray
I haven't heard from this group for a long time. Great to hear them again.

It's with great sadness that I write to advise that the last surviving member of The Kirby Stone Four, Edwin Holzman (Eddie Hall), passed away last Friday, 16 November 2012, in Las Vegas Nevada. He was 91. Thank you Kirby, Larry, Mike and Eddie - your music will continue to live on.

The women on their records never got the credit they were due. Who were they? (Not the women on the album cover, I'd bet - or am I wrong?)

Yes,the women helped make the songs as good as they are.
