I cant disagree more with the above review. To answer the original posted question, the Kids of the Kingdom were a live singing group of young talented clean cut kids, (of diverse ethnicities) who started out in the late sixties around the time the new Tomorrowland of 1967 premiered in Disneyland. They performed often at the Tomorrowland stage, and also the Tomorrowland Terrace, and became a signiture act of the park durring that period. Although the above "critic" thinks that the repetoire on this album is unusual for the Kids, during the period that this album was released, it was exactly the same style of music they were performing in the park. Eventually Disney World got its own Kids of the Kingdom, and a new generation of this group still performs in the Florida resort to this day. Over time their music has become more bland, in my opinion, and it is now more appealing for very young children, but in the late sixties, when this album was released, the group had not mellowed out to what it is now. They were very relevent to what was going in in popular music durring that period, singing music that was popular and familiar to most modern day audiences of the time, and in my opinion, this music is great even today. It is Sixties pop with a touch of Disney, and how could you go wrong with that combination. Yes do buy the album, it is great. I listen to my copy often.
