The Gadabouts was a choir for senior citizens living in Kingston and the adjacent areas. Originally this was a singing group created by the City Parks and Recreation Department in 1968 and it evolved into a performing choir by November of that year.
This record, consisting of cover songs, was created for the tercentennial celebrations in Kingston by the Gadabout choir. This record was to be marketed with a tour of Western Canada by the Gadabouts.
In 1973, the Gadabouts also preformed songs from this record (When We Grow Too Old to Dream and We'll Have a Dream of You) for Queen Elizabeth II when she visited Kingston. At the time the group consisted of 48 women in their late 70s and 80s and performed wearing growns and wigs from the 1700s.
