I grew up listening to this song. I didn't catch who it was until decades later when I happened to catch Ralph Bashki's flick "Heavy Traffic" and this version of Scarborough Fair played during the closing sequence. Payed attention to the credits and got the name, then went out and copped a CD with it on there.
