Who was/is Kirby Stone Four ? - CDs, Vinyl LPs, DVD and more
he Kirby Stone Four, a vocal ensemble put together by—you guessed it—Kirby Stone (yes, he was a real person from New York). The quartet started out recording for Archie Bleyer’s Cadence logo in 1957, but they migrated to Columbia the following year and welded In The Good Old Summertime to Take The Lady as a singalong medley in 1958 with Jimmy Carroll’s orchestra providing musical backup.
In The Good Old Summertime harked all the way back to 1902. George Evans teamed with lyricist Ren Shields to create the song, eventually so popular that a 1949 movie starring Judy Garland was named after it. Just so things didn’t get too archaic, The Kirby Stone Four slipped in mentions of “the good old rock and roll summertime,” a notion unsupported by the turn-of-the-century arrangement.
