#1960s-pop

The Brothers Four had a hit on their hands with "Greenfields". This folk song was written by Frank Miller, Terry Gilkyson, and Richard Dehr. This song was a No. 2 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and it reached the same placement in Canada as well. The song was so popular that it earned two Grammy Award nominations. And yet, The Brothers Four never reached the Top 20 on the Hot 100 again. Thankfully, the band is still going strong, decades later.

There's plenty to enjoy in Amber Martin and Shannon Conley's production of The Carnaby Street Girls regardless of whether you're old enough to remember the British Invasion or just discovering that there was a whole lot of great music that came out of England in the '60s. Playing last weekend at The Cutting Room in Kips Bay, the two powerful singers had a great time, singing together and separately, with a repertoire of fab tunes that were hits for a number of swinging British gals.
