History
The Trio recorded "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" in a New York studio in December 1961 and claimed authorship, but they took their names off when Pete Seeger asked them to. The single, with "O Ken Karanga" as the A-side and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" the B-side, reached #21 in the 1962 charts, as shown in the Billboard Hot 100. A single with "Chilly Winds" b/w "Roddy McCorley" was released in the UK. An additional single was released in the US in April consisting of "Scotch and Soda" b/w "Jane Jane Jane".
Producer Voyle Gilmore and engineer Pete Abbott recorded two performances at the University of California, Los Angeles and edited the best performances from each night. College Concert was the last performance with the Trio by long-time bassist David "Buck" Wheat.
The original liner notes are attributed to the Trio's opening act Ronnie Schell as "America's Slowest Rising Young Comedian".

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world, and to have been making continual additions to his stock of knowledge in every century.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
