Gateway Singers

The Gateway Singers were a folk music group who achieved national prominence in the US in the late 1950s.[1] The group was included in the Smithsonian's Folk Song America compilation.[2] The group is best known for their song "Puttin' on the Style" which was later used in a beer commercial and sold 1 million copies.[3]

Gateway Singers member Lou Gottlieb left the band, obtained his PhD in musicology from the University of California and then formed The Limeliters. Travis Edmonson left the Gateway Singers to form the duo Bud & Travis with Bud Dashiell.[3]

The Ed Sullivan Show reportedly cancelled an appearance by Gateway Singers after executives from the CBS television network objected to showing a mixed-race group[4]

gollark: Looping construct: jump backward one instruction (`L`)Branching construct: pick next instruction or previous instruction (`B`) - next if accumulator > 0, previous if accumulator <= 0.New branching construct: pick next instruction if user types `0` or previous if user types anything else (`N`)Making loop non-infinite: `E`, exits program if accumulator < 0.+1/-1 act on an accumulator initialized at zero (`+`/`-`)A program consists of a sequence of these instructions (first line) and arbitrary data encoded in base64 (second line) which is loaded into linear memory as bytes. These are executed left-to-right until the end is reached; when this occurs the direction of execution will be reversed.Infinite arbitrary data: command (`D`) to set accumulator to value of linear memory at position in accumulator.This language is called "HahaYourLawIsBad".
