Good guess Barry but not right. Barry McGuire of New Christy Minstrels fame(Green Green) hit #1 with Eve of Destruction and I believe is now retired and lives in New Zealand.
Here is a hint, he was front man and lead singer for a group that did not actually play their instruments on recordings and faked playing them on tv. He and his bands first seven songs all charted on the top ten--the only other bad to do this in the 1960s was the Lovin' Spoonful.
