Yarbrough seeks 'limelight' alone
By Karen Henderson
Eiting temperatures were no barrier to sudden s who began waiting in line at 7.30 this morning at the Information Booth to buv tickets to the Glenn Yarbrough concert.
Ticket sales began today at the booth and the Summerfield Hawklet for the Student Union Activities event March 19.
Yarbrough is currently making a cross-country college tour. He has been performing alone since he left the "Limelighters" a folk-singing group, in 1963. He was the principal soleist with the troo when he left the group.
THE "LIMFLIGHTERS," whose other members were Lori Gottleb and Alex Hassilev, were successful during their five years together. But Narbrough says that every decision was a three-way compromise and a compromise never satisfies anyone.
"Art is not a collective creative process" he says.
He feels that people no longer think of him as a "folk singer" and he does not want to be categorized as one. He says that folk-singing has made people listen to the lyrics of songs. He will sing
BEFORE BEGINNING HIS singing career Yarbrough had studied classical Greek and pre-Socratic philosophy at St. John's College in Annapolis, Md., where he stayed three years.
songs with a "felk" flavor but will sing any song if it means something musically and lyrically.
After saving in the Army in Korea he began study at Mexico City College. That same year he went to the New School of Social Research in New York, supporting himself as a night bouncer in
a New York hotel. He had planned to teach philosophy.
He gave this up and sang professionally in Chicago. He continued as a single performer until he met the other "Limelighters" in Los Angeles. He explained that the excitement of performing with a group was getting old and he wanted to try it on his own.
ALTHOUGH HE sings "Baby, the rain must fall." Yarbrough more often encounters showers of salt spray because he is a boating enthusiast in his leisure time.
He owns four boats, including a 42-foot schooner, a fishing boat,
a houseboat and the "Pilgrim," once the "Tiki" from the "Adventures in Paradise" television show.
Yaubrough's albums are: "Baby the Eaia Must Fall," "It's Gonna Be Fine" "Come Share My Life," "One More Round," and "Time to Move On." He has made appearances on "Shindig," "Hullaboo" and "Danny Kaye Show."
