The Limeliters

The Limeliters are an American folk music group, formed in July 1959 by Lou Gottlieb (double bass / low baritone), Alex Hassilev (banjo, guitar / low baritone), and Glenn Yarbrough (guitar / tenor). The group was active from 1959 until 1965, and then after a hiatus of sixteen years, Yarbrough, Hassilev, and Gottlieb reunited and began performing again as The Limeliters in reunion tours. On a regular basis, a continuation of The Limeliters group is still active and performing. Gottlieb died in 1996 (aged 72), Yarbrough died in 2016 (aged 86), and Hassilev died in 2024 (aged 91).
