By the time I was growing up during the British Invasion, the cut-out bin was dedicated to groups like The Kingston Trio.
They've grown on me since.

He was of the age where he was jr hi/HS when the folk thing was big.

Corresponded with Bob Shane & John Stewart by mail. Got invited backstage when they performed more than a few times.
He even traded a Gibson acoustic to get the Martin Bob Shane model! (He died in April, so I've got that guitar now.)
His favorite song by them was this one:
