Don't forget, he was also responsible for writing (or co-writing) the following greats for other artists:
If I Had A Hammer (Trini Lopez / Peter, Paul & Mary)
Turn, Turn, Turn (The Byrds)
We Shall Overcome (Joan Baez)
Kisses Sweeter Than Wine (Jimmie Rodgers)
And probably one of the most irritating tunes in history "Goodnight Irene", was a No. 1 hit in the USA for him and his group The Weavers.
RIP Pete.

Great shame. There was a documentary on TV last year about Woody Guthrie that Pete Seeger appeared in. Makes you wonder who is today's equivalent of these great protest singers and songwriters. |

To be fair - and this is a massive overgeneralisation I know - but young people to me don't seem to be terribly militant anymore. Not compared to even 30 years ago.
Or have I fallen into that bloody age trap?
Protest seems to not be very in anymore  |

Protest song is still alive but more usually found in pubs, cafes and at house concerts.
I can't see Bob Dylan or Joan Baez making it onto Saturday night talent contests. |
