Today The New Christy Minstrels ( HD, HQ) with lyrics

The popular folk song Today comes from the 1964 lighthearted western comedy film Advance to the Rear which was set in the American Civil War. The song was composed (both lyrics and music) by Randy Sparks who was a member of The New Christy Minstrels and it was this vocal group that perhaps had the most commercially successful recording of the song. The song has been recorded by several artists, including the late John Denver, but perhaps the most amusing aspect of this lovely ballad is that so many people assume it to be a centuriesold folk song and not part of a Hollywood soundtrack.
