The group was composed of Erik Darling and Bill Svanoe (vocals, guitar) with former jazz singer Lynne Taylor (vocals). Darling put the group together in 1962 specifically to record an updated and uptempo version of a 1920s Gus Cannon folk blues song, "Walk Right In". The trio recorded the song for Vanguard Records, with updated lyrics and an arrangement featuring paired 12-string acoustic guitars. The record became the most successful in Vanguard's history, reaching # 1 on the US pop charts in January 1963, and # 10 in the UK.

The group released several further singles including the minor hit "Tom Cat", played at the Newport Folk Festival in 1963, and released two albums, but their popularity was relatively short-lived and they split up in 1967.

Those guys were terrific on the 12 string guitars , have not heard that kind of rythym and beat since and Lynne is sassy and strong and sexy as well.

Between the blond and the paired 12 string guitars,
the Rooftop singers were super!

I didn't realize that Lynn Taylor was so theatrical, she really left her mark on this incredible trio. Thanks for posting!

Goodness, that is Erik Darling. Had no idea he was a Rooftop Singer. Ms. Taylor must have had a heck of voice that she had to pull away from the mic that far. She was a Jazz singer.
