Glenn Yarbrough  (January 12, 1930 – August 11, 2016) was an American folk singer.  He was the lead singer with the Limeliters from 1959 to 1963.  He also had a prolific solo career, recording on various labels.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

Glenn Yarbrough had a #12 hit with a song that was arranged by David Gates, "Baby the Rain Must Fall", the title song for the 1965 Steve McQueen/Lee Remick film Baby the Rain Must Fall.  The film is notable as the screen debut (uncredited) of Glen Campbell.  If that isn't eclectic enough for you, David Gates also produced two singles and wrote one song for Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band for A&M Records that were hits in the L.A. area.
