I love the Serendipity Singers and this album! What fun it is! I just really like choral groups and this type of folk music. The melodies and harmonies are great, and the songs are just fun. I have three favorites on this album - "Let Me Fly", "Beans In My Ears", and "Movin' In My Heart". I think I really like that third one because the Osmonds performed it in a medley on their live album back in the 1970s (I had not heard that song until they performed it). All the songs are great and I think you'll enjoy this album! Plus - how can you not like an album with a banjo???

Not a bad album. I have it on vinyl as well. "Beans in My Ears" was a minor hit, getting to Number 30 in mid 1964. Good post; I'm sure many will enjoy.
Their 1967 release, "Love is a State of Mind" is a weird venture into psychedelia-lite. Worth checking out, though.
Thanks for this, Esther:)
When I was a boy, my Mom & I would sing it together & get the giggles - I still love it!
The whole record is so upbeat, and I like the other 2 tunes you mentioned as well!
