Yes, we need some of these national jingles right now for our own comfort and hope.

Congratulations. You got married and stayed together when so many were divorcing. You both did well!!!

Sadly the world has changed, and not for the better.

A Very special memory for you and your friends. Thanks for sharing and as a one time resident of St. Louis I am jealous.

Yes, we lost our exquisite Mary, but Noel and Peter are still performing in 2024! I have tickets to see Peter in April!

​@@bobhrfarm Please share some memories of the concert. Thanks.

Hey bless ya Millie. This does bring a smile to my face, and I feel at ease (for a bit). This was back when we could just be kids. Shame most kids don’t know.

I couldn't agree more At my ripe old age of 76

You too?? I cry every time I hear Puff. It just so sweetly describes moving from child to adult.

Amen you are so right.

Comment gave me chills.

I saw them in Paris(i'm french)in 68..and I fall in love !

Great tribute to the greatest to Peter Paul &Mary, that you gave them. I'm in my 70's and in the 60's in our house we had every album they made all the to 70's we played the albums everyday..

YES YES, what you said. Beautiful Mary ❤️

Yes, and no apologies for being a blonde.

ahem, blond and a half@@greendeane1

Mary was beautiful? She was homely!

@@mikegarippo7815 I was so in love with Mary Travers when I was young. i am 83 now and I once saw her in concert in the early sixties.. I'll remember her beauty and charisma until the day i die. Her presence filled the room. i guess you think she was homely because she wasn't covered in tatoos and body piercings.

Me too. Class of 69

The Best of times

Where did you learn that "folk singers" should be capitalized?

Me too, '69

I saw happy you had the privilege to have seen them as I did in their early years. Their talent only approved over the years unto Mary’s passing

SO GLAD FOR YOU MATE THAT YOU SAW THEM

My wife and I are celebrating our 60th anniversary in September and we loved PPM back then. They and John Denver were our favorites, we still love to hear their music.

My name is Mary and I'm not a virgin was loud and clear without being said. lol

@@tonithenightowl1836 Yes; it was a JOKE. We used to have those back then. She wasn't making the point you just made; that's a lot more modern (and has far less class.)

I’m a few years younger than you. I was introduced to them when I was 6 or 7. I’ve seen them in concert a few times, too.

Likewise. I first heard Peter, Paul and Mary aged 8 whilst living in Australia in the early 1960s and have some very fond memories of their songs being played at school events.

I'm 72, and assume I first heard them about 10 as well. I saw them three times in concert, and Perter and Paul in a final tribute at Ravinia after Mary passed away. Best folk group of all time.

I saw them while I was in college in 1966(76)now) and still listen to them on records, cassettes, and cds. Love their songs and music. They led a generation to be what we old folks are today.

I saw them at a Rally in Washington, DC in 1983, they hadn't lost their touch!

You too

Peter Paul and Mary have yet to be discovered in my own damn country...decades later.They are PHENOMENAL!!! HARMONIES UNMATCHED TO THIS DAY!!!!

I sometimes think that auto-tune is to vocals what CGI is to visuals. There's absolutely something there, but it's been unnaturally enhanced.

The Kingston Trio would like to sing for you

The memories made me cry too. Joy in days past , hope for days to come. I could listen for them all day.

I was soon after a music major and we didn't listen to popular music...50 years later I still don't.

So true!

Yes the sweet nightingale that she was❤

An incredible representative of the best in women.

Goddess among goddesses, the one and only, outstanding human-doing and greatly missed, sweetness that will always be-Mary 💜🌻💜 This world has been blessed by her and I’m sure it’s better off for said blessings 💜🌻✌️

So true! I was very surprised when in about 1980 they came to Minneapolis and sang at a restaurant as I thought they filled concert halls. I didn't plan ahead and can't remember how soon I found out... I think it was after the fact, as usual for me ha! As a kid I my sister and husband got a very nice floor console type of stereo, a Webcor, as a wedding gift when they married in 1961. They liked PPM and I remember The Sand Pipers album. I like the Folk Music era. I like others too like The Mamas and the Papas, Christy Minstrels. I like how PPM has such control and like the song, "Lovin' Me" (don't know the name) how they go from soft and increase their volume then back off. I gues RCA or a major label actually put them together. I guess they didn't form the group themselves.

Mid 60's for sure, we were blessed with many great musicians and story tellers in the 60's and 70's😎😊

@@gregkump3639 I would quickly add The Seekers to this list of stellar groups. RL

@@rlewis1946 no problem here! We were overwhelmed with great works!!!!

P P and M yes but the Beatles no

My wife and I had that played as our wedding song when the band called us onto the dance floor for our first dance as a couple.

it is in a movie with Clint Eastwood that really left an impression on my memory

Shaped my perception of the world. Love their music so much that my life long friends started a folk group. Learned to play and sing everyone song PP&M recorded. It us now posted on You Tube by my talented Grandson. We called ourselves The Grouppe. We may never pass this way again. 😊

As Hunter Thompson said, "...We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . . So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark-that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.” ― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

I was 18-20 yo on the heydays of PP&M. It still feels like fresh and beautiful I am now 75 and stiol listens to their music regularly Classic pop

Ah Herman, I am also 75 & PP&M were the big loves of my teens & early 20s in Melbourne. I saw them so many times on their Australian tours in the 60s & 70s, they were a huge part of my growing up. They never let us down, performances were all sublime. I still listen to them with gratitude for all they brought with them. I remember them as a strong commentary of the world which changed so much, and they are still too immediate for me to feel nostalgia. It could all have been yesterday !

They still live

Amen

Thanks for Ur Service:)

Couldn't agree more Neil. I was in the Navy and went to Vietnam. First thing I did returning home was see them in Long Beach CA

My wife, Sue & I were married in early 1966 after dating since late 65. Our song was & still is, 'Let's Hang On' by the Four Seasons. A few said it would never last but we're still here & together after more than 57 years.

Wow what a memory hahahaha good for you hope you have some time to go a healthy and happy 2024 💟☮️🕉️☸️🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🌈🌈😍🦋☮️🌻💐🍀💜🌹☔️☔️💝🌏🙏🙏💙💙💙💙💙💙

**MAKE AMERICA MERRY AGAIN**

Me too! Check out Mary Lou by The Creative Force, Amazing!

Mr. Collinjohnrudd, You're breaking my heart. I think I'm just a bit younger than you because I don't really remember Peter, Paul and Mary first hand but I remember nostalgicly hearing them throughout my childhood. Their cousins too: Joan Baez, Simon & Garfunkel, Judy Collins... none are forgotten. You need only listen to the many versions of Sound of Silence to know that what I say is true. My nephews who are in their 30s are aware and appreciative of this wonderful tradition. It lives on in Irish music and in some country music, especially that which has political, patriotic and faithful overtones. Many of us stand with you and all is not lost. Ronald Reagan and his emulators have said The Best Is Yet To Come. Change is hard won and often painful but what is great about the United States will survive. People like me have you to thank. Look upward and outward and keep the spirit of hope that is so evident in those songs alive. You Are Not Alone. I think perhaps I know another song that might cheer you. It goes like this: When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roar, whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul. May the good Lord bless and keep you. May He lift His countenance upon you and give you peace... there is one other song that might help: One Day at a Time, Sweet Jesus, that's all I'm asking of you. Just give me the strength to do everyday what I have to do. Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine. Lord help me today. Show me the way, one day at a time. My prayers are with you and anyone who may read these words. Instead of trolling or Doomsday-ing, let's pray for each other, our beleaguered elderly president, our country and our troubled world.

@@baxtercol That was beautiful Colleen, thank you

@@vickeysteffin8061 thank you for noticing. I pray it lifted you up

@@baxtercol It did yoy are a blessing.

What the hell went wrong? Maybe their truth was not true. And maybe the sexual revolution and multiple forms of neo-Marxism followed.

I'm 69 so I'm about your same generation, and I would have given anything for that straight, blond, shiny hair of Mary's!

Good for you man.i really wanted to see them live to😢

good morning my friend neil how can i get in touch with the seekers too am also 67 yrs

good morning my friend neil i didn't know that mary was not a blonde too

Good evening my friend who liked my comment here too

I saw them in the mid to late 60's at the Stadium in Sydney. Terrible venue (it was a boxing stadium) , but one of the best concerts I have seen.

Agreed!!!!!!

The more I thought about your comment, the more it makes sense. I thought my mom loved PPM, but when I shared this, she wasn't that excited. As I moved on to more PPM videos, I realized why my Mom gave up on this group: they became liberal extremists. They were activist musicians. They're AMAZINGLY TALENTED, but their message became more and more militant and "woke". No matter how great the talent, if it lacks underlying integrity and Truth, it won't survive. God is in control, not arrogant activists. I trust God, not the statistics and coercion of leftist extremists.

@@ghrohrs2020 If you think PPM were leftist extremists...God help YOU!!! If you think singing songs promoting peace is leftist extremism ...see a fekn psychiatrist. And ask Jesus for forgiveness.

stinky trump sucks.

Amen !!

Saw them in Milwaukee in the summer of '76. Fog rolled in off the lake, a million dollar effect courtesy of mother nature.

Ɓeauriful sònĝ well sung.

I saw them several times, as well as Mary as a solo artist. There's simply nothing that compares to those voices singing together. I have loved them for many years.

Agree 100%. I'm 79 years old and love their music as much as I did when I was 22. @@gailkinney8683

Me too! I was young in the 60ies.... And I love Peter, Paul and Mary. They released for the first time, Mr. Tambourine Man, from Bob Dylan.

Amen to that.

Amen

A DOUBLY RACIST war

Never think of it as a decline, but as a great source of change and a renewal of hope

Thank whatever powers be that we still can resonate with this (meaning P, P & M and their music and musicianship) and recognize it as powerful and significant

Absolutely. From what I've read, Mary never thought she was much of a singer in these early days, and Peter and Paul brought her in for some "sex appeal". How wrong she was. While they all sound perfect, she's the one that stands out.

Could listen to each always

@@justinsomsel1162she was part of the triad, and made the group outstanding; as did Paul and Peter.

Es el mejor grupo de habla inglesa que conozco.

Joan Baez.

Not beautiful outwardly.

I still cry a wee bit, when singing along to Puff

@@mariellengiordano9884 And you know all the words too! I'm just assuming here.

@@jameseubanks1817 Of course! This song got me through a dozen years of babysitting, as well as raising a daughter. Each and everyone of these children know the song. There is another generation of adults singing to their children. :)

😂❤❤❤❤❤🎉

Me too.

Bob Dylan, a Minnesotan like me🎉

If we is the USA, remember Vietnam.

Just elect a liar and poof

If only the changes we made had been for the better. It breaks my heart to think of what we could have done but didn’t. If we had only listened to the poets and singers…….

Closest competition might be Ann Wilson, whose range rivals Linda’s at her most glorious. Then there’s Joni Mitchell

@songdoctor8896 -- True....yes The Golden Age......BRAVO from Acapulco!

Linda's voice always sounded like a one person chorus, even though she sang with a chorus a lot.

If you like singers with a bell quality I'd recommend a young KZfaqr called Allison Young. She does covers that are totally fresh as well her own writing.

I will never, no not ever forget the greatness, the sweet harmonies of Peter, Paul, and Mary!!!!!

Great stuff

Their style is timeless. They sang for you not at you.

Great harmonies. Remember listening to my older sister's Peter, Paul, and Mary records whenever she went out on dates.

"How unfortunate it is that the political theory which animated much of that era's music, whatever good has come from it, has matured into the dark and insane plague we suffer today." What was heartfelt idealism morphed into rigid authoritarianism.

same here, and I notice they've passed

There were no drugs in the early days of that music. None.

True 😭

What a hopeful time

True...so true. Perfect harmony ...53 here my papa introduced me to them when I was a child. Love them even more now and strangely enough I'm reintroducing them to my papa because I think he forgot how good they are
