Hard to believe it’s been 50 years since [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]The Tokens[/lastfm] released the iconic song and CBS-FM staple The Lion Sleeps Tonight!
In 2011 the boys from Brooklyn celebrate the song being released and hitting #1 on the charts! You can help the Tokens celebrate by joining them at the Brooklyn Book Festival for a massive sing-along event!
High NOON on Sunday, September 18th is the date and time to head over to the Brooklyn Book Festival, which will be held at Borough Hall – 209 Joralemon Street in downtown Brooklyn!
The FREE festival will be held from 10am-6pm with over 260 authors on hand and literary-themed events scheduled through the day!
All you need to do in order to participate in The Lion Sleeps Tonight sing-along is show up at the festival ready to sing just before noon on the 18th. Bring your friends and family to make this a memorable event for all!
