About Louis Gottlieb

Louis Gottlieb credited as Lou Gottlieb, was an American bassist and comic spokesman for music trio The Limeliters. He held a PhD in musicology and was considered one of the so-called "new comedy" performers, a new generation of unabashed intellectuals that also included Mort Sahl, Nichols and May, and Lenny Bruce. In 1966 he established the Morningstar Commune, a community that he declared open to all people and which later became central to a legal dispute related to the ethics of ownership of land. Lucky Lou (West Knoll Records, 1987) Gottlieb performed in the 1968 movie I Love You, Alice B.
