Along with Bob Dylan's emergence came countless other folk-based "protest singers" in the early to mid-'60s, including Barry
McGuire. Born in Oklahoma City during 1935, McGuire had relocated to New York City and joined up with folk revivalists the New
Christy Minstrels by the early '60s. He was anointed the band's lead singer and appeared on several albums and their first hit single,
"Green, Green" (which was co-penned by McGuire). Soon after, however, McGuire caught the attention of both record producer Lou
Adler and singer/songwriter P.F. Sloan, resulting in the guitarist/singer leaving the New Christy Minstrels and launching a solo career,
signing on with Adler's Dunhill Records. McGuire's solo debut, The Barry McGuire Album, was released in 1963, but it wasn't until two
years later that McGuire scored a massive hit with the Sloan-penned track "Eve of Destruction," which topped the U.S. charts
(peaking at number three in the U.K.) and was taken from his sophomore full-length, Barry McGuire Featuring Eve of Destruction.
