One of my favorite singers when I was a teenager, is dead at the age of 94. May he R.I.P.

Thanks for all the great music and insights into the world around us Pete, you will be missed!

I used to have a copy of Woody Guthrie's autobiography, Bound For Glory. Woody's good friend Pete Seeger wrote the introduction, which was as much fun as the book itself. I still remember others' covers of his more famous songs, Peter, Paul & Mary singing 'Where Have All the Flowers Gone?' and Trini Lopez's big hit with 'If I Had a Hammer'.

He had a good long run, and won't be forgotten anytime soon.

RIP Pete, i listened to you so often back then.

He also sang the german "Die Gedanken sind frei".
I am sure he was also on the CIA's black list because of his 'leftist' songs.

@Catfish the FBI is responsible for internal intelligence so Pete Seeger was on Hoover's blacklist for his leftist songs.
