Glenn Robertson Yarbrough (January 12, 1930 – August 11, 2016) was an American folk singer and guitarist. He was the tenor lead singer of the Limeliters from 1959 to 1963 and also had a prolific solo career. Yarbrough had a restless dissatisfaction with the music industry that led him to question his priorities, and he later focused on sailing and setting up of a school for orphans.
