1962 Kingston Trio – Something Special
Something Special is an album by the American folk music group the Kingston Trio, released in 1962. It reached number 7 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart. The lead-off single was a non-album track “C’mon Betty Home” b/w “Old Joe Clark”. “One More Town” b/w “She Was Too Good to Me” was released as a single later the same year. Neither single made the Top 40. Something Special was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Folk Recording category.
A notable feature of Something Special is that it was highly orchestrated by Jimmie Haskell, using strings, brass instruments and a choir.
