  • Bob Shane is an American singer and guitarist and, with Nick Reynolds' passing in October 2008, the only surviving founding member of The Kingston Trio. In that capacity, Shane became a seminal figure in the revival of folk and other acoustic music as a popular art form in the U.S. in the late 1950s through the mid 1960s. The phenomenal, if at times controversial, success of the Kingston Trio in its heyday had repercussions far beyond its unprecedented album sales (including the unsurpassed four albums simultaneously in the Top 10 in 1959), its host of imitators, and the relatively short-lived pop-folk boom it created. For the Kingston Trio's success took acoustic folk-based music out of the niche market it had occupied prior to the Trio's arrival and moved it into the mainstream of American popular music, opening the door for major record labels to record and market both more traditional folk musicians and singer-songwriters as well. Shane's vocals, frequently the lead and almost invariably the melody on choruses, became the signature sound of the Trio not only through its first decade of stardom but also through most of the subsequent decades.
  • Robert Castle Schaen eli Bob Shane on yhdysvaltalainen muusikko. Hän oli yksi The Kingston Trio -folkyhtyeen perustajajäsenistä 1950-luvun lopulla. Dave Guard kuoli vuonna 1991 ja Nick Reynolds lokakuussa 2008, jolloin Shanesta tuli viimeinen elossa oleva alkuperäisjäsen. Shane syntyi Hilossa, Havaijilla. Hän opiskeli Punahou Schoolissa ja sittemmin Kalifornian Menlo Collegessa. Hän osallistui The Kingston Trion toimintaan aina vuoteen 2004, jolloin sydänkohtaus pakotti hänet vetäytymään.
