The thing that "made" the Limeliters was their harmony. I will never forget being at a afternoon "Reunion" concert of theirs in, of all places, The San Diego Wild Animal Park in the '80s.

Yarborough opened with an introduction and talked about how wonderful it was to be back with them, and how much he enjoyed it because they sounded so good together. They then knocked the crowd out with their standard opening number, which I have never heard anybody else approach, "There's a Meeting Here tonight." It is an old Negro Spiritual, and these lyrics are as close as I can come to the way they sang it.

THERE'S A MEETING HERE TONIGHT



Get you ready there's a
Meeting here tonight
Come along
There's a meeting here tonight
I know you by your daily walk there's a meeting here tonight

A meeting in the wilderness
There's a meeting here tonight
I can tell you by your friendly face
There's a meeting here tonight

My father says it is the best
There's a meeting here tonight
To live and die and sign the best
There's a meeting here tonight

There's fire in the East, there's fire in the West
There's a meeting here tonight
I know it by your friendly face
There's a meeting here tonight
