The Limeliters launched their career in 1959 at San Francisco's Hungy i and before long, founding members Alex Hassilev, Lou Gottieb and Glenn Yarbrough emerged as one of the dominant voices of the early 1960's folk music scene. For three years they were the musical representatives for Coca-Cola, and their rendition of the jingle "Things Go Better With Coke" became a national hit. A string of best selling albums for RCA records and frequent appearances on every major TV show quickly made them a household name.
In the ensuing years, the lineup has featured spectacularly talented new members, but The Limeliters have never deviated from the integrity of the fabulous sound they pioneered.
Now, as the Limeliters sail into the new millennium, with members Mack Bailey and Any Corwin, the newest member Gaylan Taylor taking the place of original member Alex Hassilev, their unique blend of thrilling harmony, whacked out humor and contemporary satire consistently draws standing ovations from audiences that today span three generations. With their energy and enthusiasm undiminished, The Limeliters remain as eciting an act as ever as the genre has produced. Now more than ever, the surging vocals and wonderful sense of humor of this unique trio continue to earn them their title as The Fabulous Limeliters!
