Songwriters & Music Lovers:
Here’s a recording from a live All Mixed Up performance from our CD “Live at Coolfont”:
"Today" is a 1964 folk song hit for The New Christy Minstrels, written by the group's
founder, Randy Sparks, and introduced into the American comedy-Western film Advance
to the Rear, and released on the Columbia album: “Today”. The record peaked at No. 17
on the Billboard magazine "Hot 100" chart and No. 4 on the Adult Contemporary chart:
Vocalists on the original release of "Today" include New Christy Minstrels members
Barry McGuire, later to issue the solo hit "Eve of Destruction", and Gene Clark who
would later co-found the band: The Byrds.
