The Rooftop Singers - Walk Right In, 1963

      In 1962, the American folk trio the Rooftop Singers recorded a version of the song.  Group member Erik Darling recruited two friends to record a folk version of "Walk Right In" after hearing the original Gus Cannon recording.  Darling wanted the record to have a distinctive sound, so he and group member Bill Svanoe both played twelve string guitars on the song, although they had some difficulty in acquiring the instruments. They needed a left-handed model.  The success of the song was huge everywhere.
