Through Children's Eyes (Little-Folk Songs for Adults)
February 09, 2024
Through Children's Eyes (Little-Folk Songs for Adults) is a live album by the American folk music group, The Limeliters, backed by a chorus of 70 children from the Berkeley Unified School District in California. The album was recorded on 29 December 1961 at the Berkeley Community Theater, Berkeley, California as a "benefit for the Music Department of the Berkeley school system, as well as an opportunity to record The Limeliters in unusual and delightful circumstances."[1] It was released in 1962 on the RCA Victor label (catalog no. LPM-2512).[2][3] Each of the original members of the group cited the album as their most satisfying.[3] On the liner notes of the album, Gottlieb said: "I cannot tell you what a kick it was to sing with those children...The sound of their voices was - and I know this seems corny but it is true - simply an inspiration to us."[1]
The album debuted on Billboard magazine's pop album chart on June 16, 1962, peaked at No. 25, and remained on the chart for 11 weeks.[4]
AllMusic gave the album a rating of four-and-a-half stars. Reviewer Cary Ginell called it "a great album" and urged, "Get it for your kids."[3]
