as a folk rock solo singer in the 1960s, he was best known for his hits "eve of destruction" and "sins of a family", both written by p.f. sloan. barry's other chart successes were "child of our times" and "cloudy summer afternoon (raindrops)" (penned by travis edmonson of the 1960s folk-duo, bud & travis). "eve of destruction" sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. the album, "eve of destruction", peaked at no. 37 on the "billboard" 200 album chart during the week ending september 25, 1965. that same week the single went to no. 1 on both the "cashbox" and "billboard" hot 100 chart. mcguire was never again to break into the top 40. the song knocked "help!" by the beatles out of the top spot on the chart. according to mcguire, "eve of destruction" was recorded in one take on a thursday morning (from words scrawled on a crumpled piece of paper) and then he got a call from the record company at 7:00 the next monday morning, telling him to turn on the radio — his song was playing. the recording includes an "ahhh" where mcguire could not read the words. the temptations referenced mcguire's song "eve of destruction" in their song "ball of confusion (that's what the world is today)".
