    Written by Bob Dylan. Folk and protest music were very big at the time and very much part of the hippy and protest generation.... Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel.... all very much loved. You could not get a more iconic song or one more reflective of that time period. It had huge impact. In Australia, we had The Seekers.

      The late, great Pete Seeger (also a humanitarian, activist, environmentalist!) wrote “If I had a Hammer”, while he was in the folk group, THE WEAVERS. He co-wrote it with Lee Hays, who was also one of the Weavers. Seeger also wrote, “Where Have All The Flowers Gone?”, which was also covered by Peter, Paul & Mary. The lyric that always stays with me on that is “Where have all the soldiers gone? Long time passing. Where have all the soldiers gone? Long time ago? Where have all the soldiers gone? Gone to graveyards, everyone. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?”

Seriously, for a song with basically 10 lines, every single one is meaningful, rich and vibrant, and full of emotion. Dylan definitely wrote a GOAT song, and Peter, Paul, and Mary absolutely did it justice.

    There has been folk music since forever. But when the Kingston Trio had a massive hit in 1958 with "Tom Dooley," the genre exploded and dominated popular music for years until Beatlemania and the British Invasion happened in 1964. Some former folkies then adopted electric guitars & drums and created what became known as "folk rock" (the Byrds, Lovin' Spoonful, and many others, including the writer of this song, folk singer Bob Dylan).

    Now this is music from my generation. I love Peter, Paul and Mary. Their songs were the first songs I learned to play on my guitar. I played guitar in a three person group in high school and we played a lot of their music. Brings back memories! We called ourselves The House Divided….which makes no sense now or then!😂😂😂. The two guys wore red shirts and white pants. I wore a long white dress with red trim. We thought we were destined to fame! But we all broke up and went away to college. It was a fun time.

    Greetings Jay and Amber
    This was a Vietnam War (mainly) protest song first released by Bob Dylan in May 1963.When released 3 months later by Peter, Paul, and Mary, it made it all the way up to #2 on the Billboard Pop Chart and spent 5 weeks on the Easy Listening Chart that year. Though several artists have sung it including Dylan, their version is the MOST remembered and highest selling. It was also used for the Civil Rights Movement because it talks about peace, war, and freedom.
    The "Blowing in the Wind" has been described as "impenetrably ambiguous: either the answer is so obvious it is right in your face, or the answer is as intangible as the wind".
    I could be remembering wrong from a documentary, but I think this song was also sung at "Woodstock '69".

    "500 Miles" and "Leaving on a Jet Plane" are classics, but an often overlooked Peter, Paul, and Mary song is one called "I'm in Love with a Big Blue Frog". It's a fun catchy tune that also carried a deeper message about prejudice in the 1960's. They are also famous for singing "Where Have All the Flowers Gone", but if you react to that song, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE react to the Kingston Trio's version of it!!! The Kingston Trio was one of the first groups to start the folk movement in the 50's and 60's, and they have an incredible catalog. I think you guys would really dig their harmonies. They were the first to record "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" (written by Pete Seeger) in 1961.

    This was the group that helped launch John Denver's music career around 1969, when they sung his "Leaving on a Jet Plane." There's a video on YT of them singing this together. Check it out.

    I wrote a thesis some years ago about folk music and how it was the particular genre of music that crossed multiple generations in its appeal. These were the songs that families sung all together on road trips. A particular folk tune that may truly give you pause is Malvina Reynolds singing "Little Boxes" - very haunting.

    Peter Paul and Mary have SO MANY wonderful songs from the 1960s to the 1990s. I have every single album of theirs. Their harmonies are so beautiful. The lesser known songs of theirs are definitely worth listening to, but there would be far too many for you to pick just one.

  • @marleybob3157
    @marleybob3157 Год назад +9

    This was a big campfire song back in the day. I saw Peter, Paul and Mary in concert (again, back in the day) and they were great. Their personalities really come through their performances. They also sang other Dylan songs such as "The Times They Are a-Changin'", "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right",and "When the Ship Comes In."

  • @oakhillfound847
    @oakhillfound847 Год назад +6

    I think PPM covered this song to a hit but this was back in an era where folk music ruled. They covered the Dylan song Dont Think Twice as well.
    Also PPM were so popular they helped other folk singers get popularity such as Gotdon Lightfoot and John Denver.

    I grew up with songs like this. Songs like this and all the songs you react to from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's were on the radio EVERY DAY. I feel so blessed to have grown up in that time. I feel so sorry for today's youth and the type of so called "music" that's popular today.

    Check out their 25th Anniversary concert - they are not only incredible singers, but they are funny too!! You must listen to RIGHT FIELD (and watch the video from that concert).

    This is a great cover of a Bob Dylan song!! Dylan also wrote what is arguably the greatest cover song EVER - All Along The Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix. Even Dylan himself preferred Jimi's version! Another excellent Dylan cover is It Ain't Me Babe by The Turtles. Listen to Dylan songs as he performs them, & all the wonderful covers of his great songs!! Incredible variety, & so very entertaining!!
    As for Peter, Paul & Mary, listen to their cover of John Denver's song, Leavin' On A Jet Plane. Quite beautiful!

    In the very early 60's, folk music was "in" and this became an instant classic. P,P, and M (Mary Travers) were very big and had great comeback hits with "The Great Mandela" and "I Dig Rock and Roll Music" in 1969. That's a terrific fun song.

      This Land is Your Land was written by Woody Guthrie, one of Bob Dylan's mentors and idols. Guthrie came out of the Dust Bowl during the depression. He sang to protest for the migrant American farm workers. 'Crossed the country hopping freight trains and organizing labor in the hobo camps for the nascent union movement. Woody's son, Arlo Guthrie would carry on his fathers work as a folk singer. He created the song and the movie, Alice's Restaurant. He also performed at Woodstock.

Peter wrote Puff the Magic Dragon, and also wrote the Great Mandekka, Weave Me the Sunshine, Day is Done.

    I grew up listening to PP&M, and so there are countless songs I could recommend from them -- but I'll start with a few that have been favorites since I first heard them as a kid. For some great ballads: If I Had Wings, The Song Is Love, Don't Think Twice It's Alright, Early Mornin' Rain, and (though I think you guys already may have done this one) Leavin' On A Jet Plane. And then for a fun, more uptempo one, where they kind of poke fun at rock & roll: I Dig Rock And Roll Music.

  • @kathleenmenker3853
    @kathleenmenker3853 Год назад

    I was privileged to see Peter, Paul and Mary twice years ago.
    The first time was the fall of ‘61 when I was a senior in HS. My date and I often went to a coffee house, The Lemon Tree, after our main event, but not that night. I still feel deprived because the day after there was an article in the newspaper saying that they had popped into the Lemon Tree with no warning and jammed for over an hour!
    The second time was in the 80s with my husband and other family members. Their music never gets old!

    I’m glad you guys did this one, and I’m glad you liked it. This group was my mom’s favorite when she was a teenager. It’s worth noting that in the early 60’s there was a thing called the folk music revival, or “boom.” It was pretty much the biggest thing going on just before the British Invasion. So many of the American artists that had success later in the decade were steeped in this kind of music (I’m thinking of CSNY, the Grateful Dead, Simon & Garfunkel, but there are countless others).

    This came out in the 60's, it most certainly is not a cover of a Tom Petty song. He came out in the late 70's. But, you obviously got Bob Dylan mixed up with Tom Petty and that is completely understandable, Amber. I didn't mean to sound grumpy at first, you guys are great. Plus, you mentioned Bob,so... keep doing your thing.
