🎶 Goodbye to a Folk Legend 😭
Peter Yarrow, the beloved singer-songwriter and one-third of the iconic trio Peter, Paul and Mary, has passed away at 86, as confirmed by The New York Times.
A towering figure in the 1960s folk revival, Yarrow helped define an era with timeless songs like “Puff the Magic Dragon,” “If I Had a Hammer,” and “Blowin’ in the Wind.” But beyond the music, he was a fierce voice for change — championing civil rights, peace, and human dignity through every note he sang.
Even after the group parted ways in the '70s, Peter never stopped — he continued writing, performing, and advocating for causes close to his heart. Whether on protest lines or in classrooms, he used his voice to uplift others and inspire unity.
Peter Yarrow wasn’t just a musician — he was a messenger of hope. His legacy will live on in every chorus sung for peace and justice.
🎵 Rest easy, Peter. Your song will never fade. 🕊️
