The New Christy Minstrels is an American folk music group that came to prominence in the 1960s. The name deliberately evoked Christy's Minstrels, an enormously popular 19th century blackface minstrel group founded by Edwin Pearce Christy. Formed by Randy Sparks in 1961, the group had several Top 40 folk music hits, including "This Land Is Your Land", "Green, Green", "Today" and "Ramblin'". Current members of the group include Randy Sparks, Clarence Treat, Jackie Miller Davidson, Art Podell, Dolan Ellis, Becky Jo Benson and Bill Boycott.
