*First line is the group name. 1963. Folk group. This was originally a country blues song recorded in 1929 by Gus Cannon and his Jug Stompers. The leader of this folk trio recruited two friends to record an updated version of this song. To give it a distinctive sound, they used 12 string guitars. They had to wait for Gibson to make one of the guitars. The international success of this song gave Cannon royalties and a new recording contract in his 70s. This song appeared on the Forrest Gump soundtrack.
