If you're someone who likes oldies, or who was actually alive in the 60s, then there's no doubt that you've heard Kingston Trio hits like "Tom Dooley" or "Greenback Dollar." Nick Reynolds, guitarist and vocalist for the Kingston Trio, died Monday in Chula Vista, Calif. at the age of 75. At one point the group held 4 of the top 10 spots on the albums chart, a record for almost 40 years, and can certain be attributed for helping to popularize the kind of traditional folk they performed. Bob Shane is now the only living original member. [Idolator]
