I was just a little girl when the sixties folk singers were going strong, but I remember being on my parents pontoon boat in the summer and hearing these songs out on the lake....How I miss those times......
Mary Travers was just gorgeous. And, what a voice-----& perfect counterpoint harmony the 3 of them had.---------In 1970, Roberta Flack would make that song THE Grammy -Award winning Song Of The Year.--------In the early 60's, I was madly in love with Joan -----------even though I knew she & Dylan were together. ---------Both she & her sister Mimi, were just so naturally beautiful. -----------------------Wolfsky9
I'm not sure any three voices were ever as perfectly matched as Peter Yarrow, Mary Travis and Noel Paul Stookey. A flawless blend. A time when lyrics and voices unadulterated by auto tuning meant something.
"The Long Black Veil", even though relatively recently composed, was on Johnny's list of country musts that he gave to Roseann to help her prepare for her career..
A young C,S,N with Joni and John Sebastian. The Youngblood’s hit Come Together, it’s happening now amidst all that the current political climate tries to silence, the voices are being heard. America is waking to the injustices being perpetrated on her people and those people are saying”Enough!” This music needs to be heard by the young.
WOW. I first heard this sung by Roberta Flack and thought it was a earth shatteringly beautiful song but I can see this as the a more faithful rendition of the original. I'm Scottish so I guess that explains some of the resonance. The things you find out on RUclips by accident. Fantastic. Luv and Peace.
I am English and Scottish but was not aware this gorgeous song was written by a Scot. Wow, thanks for the info and background. I also first heard it sung by Roberta Flack in an American creepy film of all things.
This is great, really great music, but don't all the women stand out? All amazing but Joni and Johnny Cash, well that's something special. Then there's Judy Collins.......
June 2020 and some people are talking about the new atmosphere in our country and how people are waking up thinking about loving each other. Apparently they know nothing of the 60's. I just have to laugh at them and shake my head.
love this, there is an irony, of course, to the Song for David; JB's marriage to David Harris did not survive his incarceration for draft resistance, despite the ways she thought "the stars in your sky are the stars in mine" when the :little one in her arms" slept and the "flowers they planted in seasons past to bloom on the day" of his return...
Ewan MacColl may have had Scottish parents, but he was Lancashire born - and his real name was James Henry Miller! And the title of the song was 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face', not 'The First Time'! And Peggy Seeger was Pete's half-sister, not the distant cousin implied by 'a relative of Pete Seeger'. And PP&M turn 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' from a beautiful love song into a dreary dirge!
Somebody said this was The folk music revival. There's been many "folk music" revivals, if you think about the meaning---music of the folk. There's always been rich people; some of of us folk's music has been provided for them and some we've kept going for ourselves. The "folk revival" that got a lot of notice, finally when it started making money, and yes a lot of it WAS great music like this from Dylan and Cohen, was coincident NOT first with the Vietnam war and anti-establishment early hippie lifestyles (the music collected in here in Music of the Sixties quickly morphed into folk rock by many of these same and other favorite "folk" performers; expanding the field for singer-songwriters but also submerging once again folks' acoustic sing-together tendencies). No, this folk revival started even during WW2 with Woody Guthrie and the young Pete Seeger, who with the Weavers helped a Leadbelly song Irene Goodnight stay #1 on the pop music carts in I think 1952 for 13 weeks. The mid century folk revival was well underway when the young-uns in this video did their great work. The "folk revival" even while making money with LPs and shows like ABC's Hootenanny, had to fight the moneyed forces of reaction all the way, of course, with the red scare bleeding into the folk scare and an icon like Pete Seeger blacklisted for nearly two decades. Woody, Pete and co. spawned greats like Baez, Dylan, Mitchell, Springsteen and and Young. Good songs fight to survive. We the folk need to keep singing them, along with the young people of today rediscovering and hip-hopping them, to together make the music of the people live on and do work for the better world we know is threatened but know is possible. Revive, revive, and thrive! Pete Seeger (1919-2014) is having a centennial this year. Let's re-start there. RE-PETE! Live Like Pete, and.... Sing, for Pete's sake!

I would agree with her own assessment of her songwriting skills. She was no doubt aware, if not friends with, of songwriters like Tim Hardin, Eric Anderson, Bob Dylan, etc.
I haven't heard of her death.... Joan please don't keep me waiting thinling of songs gone past. Lady finger of trash planted in the upcoming neighborhoods and bringing them down, I will not sit any more old lady. Just die and go away on the winds prosperity.
I like Judy Collins but she ruined one of my favorite songs. Really great memories from 60 years ago, tarnished by a very poor arrangement of a good song.
PS, Joan Baez sung so very beautiful, absolutely, heaven-sent for sure ❤
In case nobody noticed, these were the times, the best of times. In those days at least we had hope and wanted to do something about it.
Born in 1950. Saw Peter, Paul and Mary more than once live. Tonight, they are moving my heart to tears at the beauty...
What wonderful music this was, and what a wonderful TIME to enjoy it!
I was at school in London and Mum had serious Beatlemania at this time :) ... (DOB 1954 hence my fave decade was the 70's)
I was just a little girl when the sixties folk singers were going strong, but I remember being on my parents pontoon boat in the summer and hearing these songs out on the lake....How I miss those times......
I miss those time, too, but I was the parent with the kids going to concerts and teaching them the rights and wrongs of the times.
What a treat, Joni Mitchell with CSN and John Sebastian
Great, Peter Paul & Mary - how sweet the sound. Mary where ever you are - all the best. Mary Travers R.I.P.
Stills was so cool then. So what happened? Did the facelift cause a brain implosion?
Beautiful
I have seen Peter, Paul & Mary, and Joan Baez. They have been the real thing. Joan has the most beautiful voice on Earth.
La maravilla de los años 60
Saw them in the sixties and seventies, even eighties but enjoyed Peter Yarrow more than any. In 2011. So approachable and kind.

you guys will live on forever-------from a guy in scotland
Great times the sixties when people really cared about eachother.😊
Love Peter, Paul & Mary and Joan for sure❤️🌹❣️
Loved them in the 60's

they have made me happy my hole live..I just love the feeling that we all have been around at the same time.
Fantastic

The two people they are refering to, had a daughter who was also a famous
singer. The late Kirsty Mcoll.

+Stuart Conway Kirsty was not Peggy's daughter. She was the daughter of Ewan MacColl and his former wife.
@@maryshaw678 Actually Ewan MacColl was an Englishman, christened James Henry Miller and born near Manchester.

We grew up together- you were the SONG in my heart & spirit...you always will be!
Love that 60"s stuff!
Stills amazing on the guitar, as usual.
This is great, really great music, but don't all the women stand out? All amazing but Joni and Johnny Cash, well that's something special. Then there's Judy Collins.......
Good taste shown there.
Albert Grossman or the record companies never told them what and where to sing. They controlled their
Own path
Great singers. I miss a time that I did not live.
Me too😎

The audience is actually listening
très légèrement coincés mais toujours agréables à écouter ! vintage...
Thanks for posting! This is a really good video collection of the greats of folk music.
Merci !!!
BEAUTIFUL

and Joni Mitchell's broad smile solo voice with the hippie anthem Get Together with CSN, and the smiles in the crowd.. adorable.
and Joni's soprano in diet with Johnny Cash on Long Black Veil... never heard this version before today. thanks!!!
Spotted Richard Ayoade in the audience at 4:48. ;)

Judy is too funny and cool, here. Dig it?
they are still my favorite
Guess which one was me, the former me?

Pete Seeger
(1919-2014) is having a centennial this year. Let's re-start there.

Also worth mentioning is the folk-country led by Kris Kristofferson, John Denver and Dolly Parton among others.
Now remember, Mary, my darling, no getting a suntan or anything like that or Mr Grossman will be very cross indeed.
What
@@davidanthonystone5165 Mary was instructed to keep her skin as pigment-free as possible.
That is a different sound from Judy. A little more edgy and rocky.
il s'agit de PP & M.. bien sur, les autres artistes n'avaient pas ce problème !
Do not forget to Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan?
It does not talk about they lost to.
Joan Baez is an incredible composer and writer of her music. It’s such a shame she has such little confidence and faith in her talent as a songwriter.
I would agree with her own assessment of her songwriting skills. She was no doubt aware, if not friends with, of songwriters like Tim Hardin, Eric Anderson, Bob Dylan, etc.
Ewan McColl was no more Scottish than Rod Stewart was
Get Together Bossa Nova? Weird.
I haven't heard of her death.... Joan please don't keep me waiting thinling of songs gone past. Lady finger of trash planted in the upcoming neighborhoods and bringing them down, I will not sit any more old lady. Just die and go away on the winds prosperity.
+James Sandwitch As Mark Twain once said, "Rumors of my death are slightly exaggerated."
What is the name of the song Joan Baez was singing?
Song for David ( about David Harriis, former husband and head of the Draft Resistance)
@@DickClarkmapache He went to prison for a while and he and Joan remain good friends.
I like Judy Collins but she ruined one of my favorite songs. Really great memories from 60 years ago, tarnished by a very poor arrangement of a good song.
