Besides, I made up my own list. And I gave up smoking a dozen years ago.  
 That's why I couldn't enjoy Bradley Cooper's "Maestro" movie. 
 
 
For what it's worth, here's my list of the 15 Top Folk Singers (off the top of my head): 
 
1 - The Kingston Trio 
2 - Peter Paul & Mary 
3 - The Brothers Four 
4 - The Chad Mitchell Trio 
5 - The Limeliters 
6 - The Weavers / Pete Seeger 
7 - The New Christy Minstrels 
8 - Ian & Sylvia 
9 - Early Bob Dylan 
10 - Joan Baez / Judy Collins / Joni Mitchell 
11 - Simon & Garfunkel 
12 - The Highwaymen 
13 - Gordon Lightfoot 
14 - Leonard Cohen 
15 - The Rooftop Singers / Erik Darling / Tom Paxton

I call bullshit! The Trio has been credited with starting the folk boom and they come in at #11? I can't agree with that. Probably wouldn't have heard of most others in the list, except for maybe Pete Seeger or the Weavers, had it not been for the Trio.
