The Highwaymen were an American 1960s "collegiate folk" group. The quintet's version of "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore", a 19th-century African-American work song, released in 1959 under the title "Michael", was a Billboard number-one hit in September 1961. The group scored another top-20 hit in 1962 with a version of Lead Belly's "Cotton Fields". "Michael" sold over one million copies, achieving gold record status. The group originated at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, where its members were undergraduates.
