Mary Travers' Death (Peter, Paul and Mary) - NBC Nightly News

[@albertsiniscalco1373]

Growing up in Greenwich Village in the 60's I remember Peter Paul and Mary walking around the neighborhood with guitars.'' slung on their back. They would stop and talk with us kids and just kind of hang out for a while and play some tunes. Just regular young people who happened to be getting famous. But they were so down to earth, and even then I realized they truly cared. I especially loved Mary. Her kindness just radiated. I guess I had a boyhood crush. When I heard of her passing I thought back to those wonderful days. Before the big rock star. When musicians really cared about what they sang about The music of Peter Paul and Mary was not only beautiful, but it meant something to so many of us. and it helped define who we really are as a nation.. RIP Mary Travers

[@markthompson4804]

That must have been so cool in the Village and seeing them I was a huge fan of theirs like forever

[@pomerau]

That's just .......... Wow! 🤭

[@mydogsameatspurpleflowers705]

It's been over 3 years since she died, and I still cry when I see this. Those 3 were the best, and they all knew how to speak tranquil words to troubled hearts, one song at a time. We lost a heluva lot when we lost Mary. So wise, so wonderful, so beautiful, so powerful was her voice in such a way that it still resonates and strikes that wonderful chord in everyone's heart.

[@maartenvisser64]

Amen

[@darrelladams6788]

Amen again 😂❤

[@johnbrothers8226]

I was born in 1950. 'bought a guitar in 60 and learned many of their songs. I am still in love with Mary.....

[@nancyfernandez5545]

She will really be missed...Her voice was pure and powerful, so unique. No need of choreography to hold the listener's attention. RIP, Mary.

Thank you so very much to Peter, Paul, and Mary, such talented troopers who gave us all so much pleasure over so many years. And thanks too for the wonderful technology courtesy of KZbin that we can re-live all the wonderful memories yet again, day after day.

[@eingelbertdiola6115]

Yeah peace be to her.One of my favorite classic groups.God bless you Maam Mary.

[@busyfloornurse]

God Bless You Mary! I grew up listening to you, with Peter and Paul. Heaven gained an outstanding addition to their angelic choir.

[@MARYKSTIVER]

She was a beautiful woman inside and out and will always be alive in my heart

[@vett62]

Some gave none, some gave some, and some gave all-including their lives. Peter, Paul and Mary always gave all they had, to all of the world. They made a difference, make a difference, and will always impact the way the world looks at themselves and others. Some heard what they had to say, but some would not listen. With their songs, they brought out the message of history..."Those that ignore History are doomed to repeat it". Some lead, some follow, but some are wise. Thank you PP&M.

[@popciclelover]

She will be missed :( im 12 years old i loved her singing, and my sister heather is 9.. my aunt showed us her songs.. and my sister knows all her sister by heart the first time she heard it.. she fell in love with the songs

[@harrystoller4147]

Whose sister was she?

[@margo3367]

I saw her. I mean I saw Peter, Paul and Mary at the Berkeley Community Theatre. I don't remember what year it was. My mom took me as I was a little girl then. I still remember how her blonde hair was constantly in motion as she swayed to the beat, the emotion of the songs. It was beautiful. ✌️❤️

[@amp3cx10000a7jp]

Her singing voice is blowing with the wind all over the world.

[@marthavh2678]

Thats an era of music to which those of us born and raised in the circa of the 60's will forever hold dearly in our hearts.... RIP, Ms. Mary T...😊❤🏆👏💐

[@davedrolett6890]

The best folk trio ever! Mary you'll never be forgotten, RIP

[@davedrolett6890]

Thank you Helena. I'm seen her in sing in Boston before she ( Mary ) got famous.

welch ein trauriger Moment...Mary Travers, eine Stimme geht dieser Welt verloren...

[@annettekoch3766]

Oh how I loved her voice and all three of them were great. She truly is missed but the music lives on.

[@beckybanta126]

My all time favorite group & their songs. I lost count how many times I saw them in concert. Met them after one of their first concerts in Cincinnati, Ohio. Mary invited me to touch her hair...it felt like fine corn silk. She noted that she could not keep a curl of any kind. ALL 3 so talented & dynamite together!❤

[@hplundholm4631]

Solche Menschen sollten EWIG LEBEN! Danke Mary für deine Musik.

[@SaskiaCornell]

You will never be forgotten Mary and bless you too - your music will live on forever. Saskia

[@rgk99]

Something beautiful that in 2022 it’s sad to be reminded of legendary entertainers passing away. 13 years later and it still leave an sense of loss.

[@jimmyjohnson9615]

When she sang she seemed to be a bit of angel. RIP Mary. Thanks for the good memories.

[@pamsalvo1875]

"Oh babe, I hate to go" I hated to see you go, but thank you so very much for the beautiful, wonderful and powerful memories.

[@mattleinhauser9166]

She was so awesome and gorgeous. Love you always Mary ❤❤❤❤ RIP my angel 😇😇😇😇

[@heywilbur]

Fall 1963 I was 8 yrs old and my mom took me to see them. My first concert ever and just a few years ago I discovered part of their live album released the next year was recorded that night here in Terre Haute, IN. Made a big impression on me... went on and worked as a keyboard player for 25+ years in Nashville.

[@barbarabaker9041]

I loved her singing. She was an angel. Oh great I'm crying again. Love you Mary. Rip an angel.

[@hhj4439]

[@bernhardlohr4662]

RIP Mary ! The red "Most beautiful Songs"-D-LP is one of my favourite 60`s records...!

[@diannegazzola1957]

I miss them. They were great and seeing them skip on stage with , Mary's hair flowing like silk they were infectious. RIP Mary 💔 you were a gift to the world with your many talents.

[@janinewalker4060]

I will always miss your wonderful voice!!! God Bless!

[@jameshansen8220]

Love, compassion, kindness, peace, Mary, forever true!

[@Kate1Chopin]

Mary's voice will always be remembered, I am sure. Stellar!💕

[@pdef1949]

I just ran across this video while researching a song, and was touched by it......maybe feeling some of my own mortality, since I grew up listening to PP&M. I saw Mary Travers live in 1980 at a folk festival concert along with some other folk icons of the early 60's. Good Lord, did she have the pipes!

[@prest2100]

She was a beautiful woman who with Peter and Paul sang of fight for peace and love. In this world we still have wars killing or kids in different lands to wars on our streets Some day i hope we will have peace and love with all nations and people in every town in American .

[@hhj4439]

may her memory be a blessing I sing their songs in her memory

[@MarkChussil]

I met Mary twice, both times by happenstance. She was warm, welcoming, unaffected, kind, and gracious in every way. And their music... oh, their music... I think someone described them as an angel with two cellos. The rich, intricate harmonies, so perfect and joyous they made it look easy. Best ever.

[@vincebaseley13]

Yeah some memories always make you cry. PP and M are such memories. Mary was and still is unique.

[@dixiestevens6120]

Even now that she is gone she lives in the eternal music as long as we listen to there music they live in our hearts minds souls and spirit. I listen to there somgs on the radio with there record and now you tube. Yes they maybe gone but they will live forever in my heart. Rip and god bless you.

[@freddyjefferson4526]

music back then was powerful.....always trying to make a change for the better

[@McCRBen]

When did you meet her ?

[@richardgreen9393]

sara parker you are an asshole

[@swearenginlawanda]

Absolutely fantastic voice. I was fortunate to meet them at Griffiths Park in LA. The Brownie Troop i was in is on the cover of one of their 45s and sheet music. I will always remember that day. Forever my favorite group.

[@bobhess7036]

That voice. Something indescribable about it. It reached down inside of you and gave you chills.

[@MegaCaptain54]

a true troubadour, mary set the standard. we would not have the peace movement we do today without the true pioneers like, peter, paul & mary, bob Dylan, joan baez, and the list goes on. sleep well mary. 72 is not quite the ripe old age we all dream of, but you had a hell of a run. what you did for us all will nev er be forgotten. may you sleep with the angels, mary. you sang like one for all those decades. I miss you. thank you & farewell

I saw them in Dallas @ SMU in 1964 and again in 1968 in Kansas City, MO a great experience.

[@MoorOfDundee]

It's been 14 years since she died and I still weep after seeing this wonderful story on PP&M.

[@beckylipps7286]

Great group, grew up in their era. So sad. My fav was “The Hammer Song”

[@NeilJR]

Many years ago I heard PP&M were performing in Las Vegas. I had seen them live in Australia three times and thought for old time’s sake I would like to see them one more time and take the kids along to let them hear and see the iconic group I grew up with. So I booked tickets from Sydney to LV and within a month I found out the concerts were cancelled. I sent an email to their PR group asking what was going on and what was the rescheduling outlook. I got a reply they didn’t know. It turns out that I would never see them ‘live’ as a group again. But I still can access their music on KZbin plus my LPs and CDs ( remember them?) RIP Mary Travers.

[@sinneadfert]

It has been 22 years since Mary passed. And this still hits a chord.

[@redshibaman]

Mary Travers passed away on September 16, 2009, which is now 13 years ago.

[@ghw7192]

The last time I saw PP&M was at a concert in Atlanta many years ago. Mary had to sit through most of the performsnce, but her voice was still strong. She had one of the most distinctive voices in music. Thank you, Mary Travers!

[@zzzgeok]

Like the man said, you start to think about your own mortality when your heroes, people you grew up with lighting the way are dying off. It's a shame the at era ever had to end. RIP Mary T.

My favorite song is Leaving on a Jet Plane by Peter, Paul, and Mary. It was years before I realized it was written by my favorite singer, Henry John Deutschendorf - John Denver.

[@StevenTorrey]

Almost 10 years ago... When you grow up with people, their death is such a personal thing....

[@jamnee]

I watched their performance of Blowing In The Wind on a Jack Benny Show video. Mary's performance brought tears to my eyes and so many other performances as well. She will truly be missed.

[@tufur08]

The answer is in your children. God bless them. I am still on that jet plane.
