The album that contained the song was also called Walk Right In.[7] The group was more influenced by ragtime, blues, and songster material than contemporaneous folk groups such as The Weavers, to which Darling belonged until just before he formed the Rooftop Singers.[7] They were also less overtly political.[2]
The group played at the Newport Folk Festival in 1963. Vanguard released several further singles, the most successful being "Tom Cat" (No. 20, May 1963).[7] Yielding to pressure from her husband, Taylor left the trio shortly after Vanguard released the group's second album, Good Time!, and Darling and Svanoe recruited Mindy Stuart to replace her. That line-up recorded one final album, Rainy River. Patricia Street replaced Stuart shortly before the Rooftop Singers formally disbanded in 1967.[7] Darling and Street continued working as a duo into the early 1970s, recording the album The Possible Dream for Vanguard.[2]
Lynne Taylor, who was married to radio DJ Skip Weshner,[8] died by suicide on 21 April 1979, aged 43.[9]Erik Darling died on August 3, 2008, aged 74, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, from Burkitt's lymphoma.[10]
