GOODNIGHT, IRENE

August the 17th, 1950 : The Weavers' "Goodnight Irene" hits #1.

The Weavers were an American folk music quartet based in the Greenwich Village area of New York City. They sang traditional folk songs from around the world, as well as blues, gospel music, children's songs, labor songs, and American ballads, and sold millions of records at the height of their popularity. Their hard-driving string-band style inspired the commercial "folk boom" that followed them in the 1950´s and 1960´´s, including such performing groups as The Kingston Trio, Peter, Paul, and Mary, The Rooftop Singers, and Bob Dylan, as well as today's folk bands!
