Written by Bob Dylan. Folk and protest music were very big at the time and very much part of the hippy and protest generation.... Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel.... all very much loved. You could not get a more iconic song or one more reflective of that time period. It had huge impact. In Australia, we had The Seekers.

[@grievousangelic]

The Seekers were awesome, too!

[@jimhalas4195]

Loved the Seekers, and I’m from the U.S.

[@andrewr311]

Peter, Paul and Mary and THe Seekers are quite similar but still have their own flavour

[@Clayton.Bigsby.360]

I'd rather listen to fingernails on a chalk board, I would rather chew on aluminum foil, this is terrible, And these people pretending to like it is even worse. Lol

[@susanlane8803]

RIP Judith Durham, you were wonderful!

[@thomasmayk]

Their three-part harmony is unmatched. Putting them together was an inspiration. It just had to be.

[@joannevincent2035]

Mary Travers will never be forgotten for her voice, her talent, and her humanity.

[@krazykitty7277]

Very nice job!! 71-year old female boomer here. My millenial son happened to be in the car with me recently when I was listening to an old Peter Paul & Mary CD. He noted that every song was about peace and love, which is great. However, my generation's leaders grew up to start more wars than probably any generation in history. Hope you youngsters do better! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@sarahweers8035]

Another vote for “Where Have All The Flowers Gone?”, as well as “If I Had a Hammer” and “The Wedding Song” ( done by Noel Paul Stookey). These albums were played frequently when I was small, and all these years later, I still love them. Thanks for reacting to this one. (They did a wonderful version with a choir on their Christmas special.)

[@txheadshots]

I remember learning how to sing “If I Had a Hammer” in elementary school music class in the 70s

[@drieuxkoeppel8152]

The late, great Pete Seeger (also a humanitarian, activist, environmentalist!) wrote “If I had a Hammer”, while he was in the folk group, THE WEAVERS. He co-wrote it with Lee Hays, who was also one of the Weavers. Seeger also wrote, “Where Have All The Flowers Gone?”, which was also covered by Peter, Paul & Mary. The lyric that always stays with me on that is “Where have all the soldiers gone? Long time passing. Where have all the soldiers gone? Long time ago? Where have all the soldiers gone? Gone to graveyards, everyone. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?”

[@CamoJan]

You just brought back to my memory that “The Wedding Song” done by Noel Paul Stookey, was sung at our wedding 42 years ago! ♥

[@Mandolorian1001]

Where have all the flowers gone was written by pete seeger. My dad knew him well, and loved his work. My dad, Harry Welling, performed it as well; and you can find the extended performance here on youtube

[@debihuffman7650]

The Wedding Song was sang at my wedding in 1979

[@suewilliamson5382]

It’s amazing how many songs from our generation (60s and 70s) are still relevant today. It just shows you how far we’ve come and how far we have left to go.

[@craiggillett5985]

And no matter how things change they remain the same, there’s nothing really new

[@jameswiglesworth5004]

They are all still relevant because, there were great writers, writing songs with depth and meaning, lyrically, very few modern artists have anything to say

[@melanlaspinas9649]

Those were golden hits of yesterday. I thank God my childhood days were in the late 60's and my teen years were in the 80's. Thank you guys for featuring very good old songs of our ancestors.

[@Clayton.Bigsby.360]

As you back another American proxy war in Ukraine, filling the cophers of the military industrial complex!! "In the fields the bodies burning, as the WAR MACHINE keeps turning" what a joke. Take another dose of the Trumptard syrup and make some more big pharma billionaires!!

[@dggydddy59]

Maybe it actually shows how far we HAVEN'T come. I'm afraid that's the way I'd have to put it, unfortunately.

[@ronnie237]

I’ve been listening to this song for almost 60 years and it still emotionally gets to me.

[@greg2976]

Same here!!!!!!

[@zoegartham312]

With lines like "How many deaths will it take 'til he knows that too many people have died," or the ones that Amber pointed out, how could it NOT get to someone? Seriously, for a song with basically 10 lines, every single one is meaningful, rich and vibrant, and full of emotion. Dylan definitely wrote a GOAT song, and Peter, Paul, and Mary absolutely did it justice.

[@terryquinn7765]

60 more Ronnie!

[@User2718218]

An epic song of biblical proportions.

[@georgemcnair3647]

same here. I've loved them since I was a baby {and I'm 55}

[@joeyrobison6629]

This song is one of the reasons Dylan won the Nobel Prize in literature!

[@timothymcfall8973]

And the fact that he sold his soul to the devil!

[@johndoe-gt6gp]

This one and a couple of hundred others.

[@williammcgrath9466]

They sang this song at the 1963 March on Washington where MLK gave his “I have a dream” speech.”If I had a hammer” and “ Lemon tree” are 2 more of their hits.They had dozens.Also John Denver’s “Leavin on a jet plane “ .

[@gordonglasgow2711]

This song was always magical! Dylan's lyrics are amazing, and the combination of their voices takes it to another level. I love the way each verse starts out with just Mary Travers and Peter Yarrow singing, and then Paul Stookey comes in on the last half and just builds the power. And then it drops back to Mary alone for the final line. They performed this song at the 1963 March on Washington, at which Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his "I Have A Dream" speech. Joan Baez, Bob Dylan and Odetta also performed that day.

[@michaelrawling9085]

60 years later, this song still must be sung.

[@gkiferonhs]

Dylan deserves his Nobel Prize for literature.

[@dodster11]

Dylan DID WIN the Nobel Prize for literature in 2016

[@zenhaelcero8481]

@@dodster11 I think Greg was just acknowledging that Dylan does, indeed, deserve that prize.

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Leaving On A Jet Plane" and "If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song)" !!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

100

[@Gulfmist_63]

John Denver wrote Jet Plane

[@lizetteolsen3218]

I just repeated that as well.

[@brendatrump1271]

They sang If I Had a Hammer, which was written by Pete Seeger, in 1963 at the March on Washington. You must hear it.

[@CJBW]

Five Hundred Miles great cover they do.

[@BringItMAGA]

Humans never learn. So these songs from my childhood are still relevant. Beautiful song. Great group.

[@lizetteolsen3218]

This is considered the iconic song of a generation--written by Dylan. Have always loved Mary's voice. Loved Puff for years and years--you have wee ones--such a perfect song. Check out 'If I had a Hammer' and the saddest, "Leaving on a Jet Plane'.

[@bryanwhitton1784]

Two of my favorites are 500 Miles and Christmas Dinner from Peter, Paul and Mommy. When my kids were young and my life was happy we wore this album out playing as a family.

[@walterrutherford8321]

Also anti-war songs from the same time period: If I Had A Hammer, Where Have All The Flowers Gone.

[@walterrutherford8321]

If I Had A Hammer, and Where Have All The Flowers Gone, are other very popular anti-war songs from the same time period:

[@ShannonR1969]

"Leaving on a Jet Plane," written by one of their favorites, John Denver!

[@kathleenmenker3853]

I was privileged to see Peter, Paul and Mary twice years ago. The first time was the fall of ‘61 when I was a senior in HS. My date and I often went to a coffee house, The Lemon Tree, after our main event, but not that night. I still feel deprived because the day after there was an article in the newspaper saying that they had popped into the Lemon Tree with no warning and jammed for over an hour! The second time was in the 80s with my husband and other family members. Their music never gets old!

[@jeffpawlinski3210]

Folk Music at its pinnacle. Simply...beautiful.

[@sheilameyers152]

Folk music was cool with me…especially Peter Paul and Mary! I would try to harmonize with them! Bob Dylan was a folk music guru writing all those songs with in depth meaning😃

[@davidahart2113]

Great reaction to a great song! You. Should do a reaction video to their song "Leaving On A Jet Plane." Mary Travers' voice is amazing on that song as well. The writer of the song was one of the Rob Squad's favorite artists, John Denver.

[@howardhales6325]

"Where Have all the Flowers Gone" still chokes me up after all these years.

[@paulcwalina7910]

Another one of their best and most beautiful lyrically is 'Where Have All the Flowers Gone?' (And it's always ok to applaud Bob Dylan, Amber)

[@cherik6710]

Came here to suggest this song too, thank you!

[@Alan-lv9rw]

I met Mary in Connecticut back in 1979. She was so nice.

[@debbiedebster5806]

I remember being a kid and PBS would have their concerts on thru the years... kids, young and old, all smiling and singing... just so beautiful! ❤✌

[@DavidB-2268]

They still do, from time to time.

[@YarnCrafts4lefties]

Omg yes!! I was thinking the same. I'd sit with my parents watching and singing together.

[@RonSafreed]

This song came out in 1963 & I was 7 years old & in the first grade & this song has stayed with me ever since!!

[@jessicalee7119]

This song has made me cry for over 50 years! They have so many great songs, I hope you listen to more of them. Try to find, If I Had a Hammer. This was released in 1962. Folk music was very popular then. Poets wrote many of these songs. Back then people spoke out about social issues with their music.

[@coolcpa3321]

Also, The Wedding Song (There is Love) that Best Man Paul Stookey wrote and performed for the 1969 wedding of his bandmate, Peter Yarrow. The song is perfection.

[@shhaggman]

Yes to if I had a hammer for sure

[@DandyLion662a]

Definitely If I Had a Hammer. Lemon Tree is pretty good too.

[@zoegartham312]

@@DandyLion662a If I Had a Hammer, Lemon Tree, and lets not ever forget Leavin' (On A Jet Plane). Classics.

[@NavvyMom]

@@DandyLion662a So glad you guys are mentioning Lemon Tree. It always seems forgotten because of all the other more well known songs.

[@alanlittle9352]

The questions voiced in this song are questions for all eternity, the answer is blowin' in the wind.

[@willowthegood9035]

They also did a song "Lemon Tree" Everytime my grandmother would cook with lemons, she'd sing this song.

[@clydeb7713]

Written by the iconic Bob Dylan 👏 enough said.

[@pjg58x]

My 4th grade teacher in the 60s was very much into folk music. She played folk albums in class. Some days she would bring her guitar and teach us to sing folk songs. This song was one of them.

[@geoffthomas3238]

Similar story and great memories for me it was my 2nd grade teacher in 1972. Always had her guitar and wearing John Denver glasses and taught us all to sing folk songs especially Peter Paul and Mary, the Kingston Trio, Pete Seeger. Loved her as a teacher and remember those days as filled with hope and music.

[@sukie584]

When I was in elementary school in Brooklyn, in the 60s, they used to play protest, anti war songs all the time in auditorium.

[@katejones5396]

For me it was grade 5 in 1975, my teacher played guitar and taught us songs. I especially remember singing Blowing in the Wind, If I Had a Hammer, Me and Bobby McGee, and Take Me Home Country Roads. Now and then the principal would join us with his guitar but he always sang Blue Suede Shoes :)

[@1177kc]

Mine did that in the late sixties/early seventies. We sang Peter Paul and Mary, Joan Baez and John Denver songs. I distinctly remember her putting a 45 on the turntable and without any introduction, launching us into the world of Elton John with Crocodile Rock… blew our little grade school brains.

[@markthompson4804]

Thank you both for putting Blowin in the Wind by Peter Paul & Mary a beautiful cover of Dylan’s timeless song

[@carolyncappitelli1460]

My favorite song is "The Wedding Song" by Paul Stookey, Paul from Peter Paul and Mary. It was my wedding song in 1975. There wasn't a dry eye in the Church. Even the organ player was crying.

[@brucefrank5556]

I saw them 4 times. Paul would never sing the Wedding Song. I wish I could have heard it live.

[@debihuffman7650]

It was mine in 1979

[@dansace1]

This came out when I was 9. My dad was a fan of folk music. The Kingston Trio, Pete Seeger, Dylan, Baez and others were on a lot. The themes of peace and justice shaped myself and many of our generation. Thanks for listening to them. For something a little more uptempo, try "If I Had A Hammer", a song about righting injustices. I think you'll like it - it's rousing.

[@cking8631]

As a kid growing up in the 70's, I learned how to sing harmony by listening to my parents' Peter Paul & Mary albums. I didn't even know what harmony was, I just loved it when they did it!

[@greg2976]

Who ever thought to name the group: Peter, Paul, and Mary, was a genius! So simple!🤔😂👍

[@SpuzzyLargo]

There has been folk music since forever. But when the Kingston Trio had a massive hit in 1958 with "Tom Dooley," the genre exploded and dominated popular music for years until Beatlemania and the British Invasion happened in 1964. Some former folkies then adopted electric guitars & drums and created what became known as "folk rock" (the Byrds, Lovin' Spoonful, and many others, including the writer of this song, folk singer Bob Dylan).

[@Sactown5472]

A few more songs they recorded Leaving on a Jet Plane, The Wedding Song both gorgeous!

[@roy19491]

"If I had a Hammer" was their chart-breaker, and got them national attention....us 60's kids loved them

Amber's clapping was just adorable ❤️❤️ love love love her❤️❤️

She is a rare and special person. ❤️

[@sarajones5436]

Saw them at a 25 year reunion concert. It was amazing to watch 80 year old grandmothers and 5 year old kids singing along.

[@cpete2976]

Who VOTES YES for: I Dig Rock and Roll Music (uptempo song), The Wedding Song (There Is Love), If I Had A Hammer (Mary is awesome!), Leaving on a Jet Plane (written by John Denver, again Mary is awesome), This Land Is My Land, and Where Have All the Flowers Gone. And you will have just scratched the surface of this incredible folk trio.

[@jamesdlogan8975]

Definitely the wedding song.

[@BadgerBJJ]

My mother was a hippy and loved Peter, Paul and Mary. She used to listen to them cleaning the house.

[@craigwells3655]

You guys would LOVE the Wedding song. A total classic, played at millions of weddings, I think, by Paul Stookey. Love when songs have something to say. Songs for the grownups.

[@coopm3087]

[@sharonpate5481]

This is the first song I ever memorized and learned enough to play along on mom’s guitar! 👵🏼💜☮️ this is real folk music 🤗

[@Sabrina79]

This song is hypnotic to me. And their harmonies are beautiful. ❤

[@glenonoko4918]

This was one of the leading protest songs of the 60s, covered by many artists and performed in many venues, but also widely sung in churches, schools, and youth groups, plus of course rallies, protests and other events.

[@emmitstewart1921]

They had the quiet, gentle way of singing, but some of the songs they sang struck so deep into social issues, and the way they sang them was so strong that we tend to forget the people who sang them before and after. All we remember is the message of the song and Mary's voice.

[@cathynuytten798]

Now this is music from my generation. I love Peter, Paul and Mary. Their songs were the first songs I learned to play on my guitar. I played guitar in a three person group in high school and we played a lot of their music. Brings back memories! We called ourselves The House Divided….which makes no sense now or then!😂😂😂. The two guys wore red shirts and white pants. I wore a long white dress with red trim. We thought we were destined to fame! But we all broke up and went away to college. It was a fun time. Thanks for letting me share! Love your videos so much !

[@4yules]

mary had a towering voice with a presence from the type of songs they sang...legendary performers.."if i had a hammer"

[@randyspence6253]

That's iconic. I love the bands from the the 60s love generation even though it's before my time. Such a cool 60s vibe. The Mamas & the papas are the best. You should check out Joni Mitchell's "both sides now" live.

[@Earcandy73]

Peter, Paul & Mary, along with The Carpenters taught me how to sing. I met Peter and Paul in 1994-they signed my albums. Mary wasn’t feeling well that night.

"Where have all the flowers gone" is a very powerful song.

[@KingOfErehwon]

"Leaving on a Jet Plane" was a big hit of theirs that many people relate to when thinking of this group.

[@duncansonoryan]

Mary belts on "if I had a hammer". She was a really underrated singer.

[@cjinasia9266]

Hardly underrated. They were one of the biggest groups of the time.

[@stuartwald2395]

They performed this song in 1963 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, and later that day Dr. King gave the "I have a dream" speech.

[@jimdavis4145]

Thanks for playing this one!! My favorite Dylan cover by Peter, Paul, and Mary is "Don't Think Twice, it's Alright" It's powerful!

[@erict956]

There is an amazing clip on KZbin that has Mary singing with Mama Cass and Joni Mitchell which I have probably watched a thousand times and I'll continue to do as it shows us just what beautiful really is.

[@bobblowhard8823]

I grew up with songs like this. Songs like this and all the songs you react to from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's were on the radio EVERY DAY. I feel so blessed to have grown up in that time. I feel so sorry for today's youth and the type of so called "music" that's popular today.

[@DG2244]

Sung 59 years ago and still prevalent today. A standard all should be held to.

[@RyanWitalison]

Growing up in the 80's I watched Peter, Paul, and Mary every time they appeared on PBS during the 80s and early 90s

[@silverlobo2135]

Greetings Jay and Amber This was a Vietnam War (mainly) protest song first released by Bob Dylan in May 1963.When released 3 months later by Peter, Paul, and Mary, it made it all the way up to #2 on the Billboard Pop Chart and spent 5 weeks on the Easy Listening Chart that year. Though several artists have sung it including Dylan, their version is the MOST remembered and highest selling. It was also used for the Civil Rights Movement because it talks about peace, war, and freedom. The "Blowing in the Wind" has been described as "impenetrably ambiguous: either the answer is so obvious it is right in your face, or the answer is as intangible as the wind". I could be remembering wrong from a documentary, but I think this song was also sung at "Woodstock '69".

[@DanoSeer]

I grew up singing this song in grammar school. Many young guys had a crush on Mary. What great memories and real heartfelt music.

[@dewman0269]

My favorite group of the 1960's...I remember watching them in the early '60's...they were such a relevant group for that time...they did so many wonderful songs...they did a wonderful reunion concert in 1985...they continued singing together until Mary's cancer got real bad and she passed...the guys did many tribute concerts to her memory sometimes bringing in other folk singers that they worked with and were friends with... The guys are in their 80's and retired today...so much to tell about this trio...they were legendary singers and teachers to the world...

[@starleet2001]

Written in 1962. I used to sing it in elementary school folk music class. Still love it.

[@cassyharrison3592]

They had so many good ones, it's hard to pick a favorite. They did a great cover of "This Land Is Your Land"....full of energy!

[@Blue-qr7qe]

This Land is Your Land was written by Woody Guthrie, one of Bob Dylan's mentors and idols. Guthrie came out of the Dust Bowl during the depression. He sang to protest for the migrant American farm workers. 'Crossed the country hopping freight trains and organizing labor in the hobo camps for the nascent union movement. Woody's son, Arlo Guthrie would carry on his fathers work as a folk singer. He created the song and the movie, Alice's Restaurant. He also performed at Woodstock.

[@brucefrank5556]

I saw PP&M 4 times. True entertainers. Peter and Paul are still going strong.

[@gdmyers47]

[@maryannaudia880]

They sang this song in Wash. DC - March on Washington with Martin Luther King speaking - i think it was August 28, 1963. Brings tears to my eyes

[@lindakinninger5500]

This is a classic 60’s folk song. Bob Dylan started out in the folk genre & when he started going electric (guitar),he was literally booed off the stage because people were expecting the acoustic folk sound

[@kentclark6420]

I think the fans were rude and ungrateful for acting that way. You can really destroy someone's self-esteem. But he should have warned everyone, like sent a note to all the ticketholders, that he was changing his style. Or announce to everyone before they bought the tickets, somehow.

[@Arieeeee]

I remember watching them on PBS in the 80's when I was a kid and you'd see most of the audience in tears and I didn't get how a grown man could be crying like that. Now I get it.

Peter, Paul, and Mary where one of the super stars of folk music!!

[@BigAl53750]

Paul Stookey (the tall one) wrote a song for his freind Peter’s (the short one) wedding. It’s absolutely the best wedding song ever written! Bar none! You guys should take a look. Also. if you wanna see just HOW strong Mary’s voice was, take a look at a song called; If I had My Way. It’s an amazing, and LOUD song!

[@blackprix]

The relevancy of lyrics for my generation is the music Peter Paul and Mary were at the forefront of music like this. So many decades later so much to say and it’s the same today as it was then

[@Nikki-kr2se]

"500 Miles" and "Leaving on a Jet Plane" are classics, but an often overlooked Peter, Paul, and Mary song is one called "I'm in Love with a Big Blue Frog". It's a fun catchy tune that also carried a deeper message about prejudice in the 1960's. They are also famous for singing "Where Have All the Flowers Gone", but if you react to that song, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE react to the Kingston Trio's version of it!!! The Kingston Trio was one of the first groups to start the folk movement in the 50's and 60's, and they have an incredible catalog. I think you guys would really dig their harmonies. They were the first to record "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" (written by Pete Seeger) in 1961.

[@michaellazzeri2069]

P., P., & M sang this in that summer of '63, at The March On Washington ; it's here on YT. I watched on TV when they did it. 100,000 people with the peace sign up in their hands raised !

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

I have to say that I discovered Peter Paul and Mary from my mom's record collection as a kid in the 70s and I have loved them ever since! Their song Lemon Tree always gets me because my Grandmother had a beautiful big Lemon Tree in her backyard that I used to climb and hang out in, sitting among the branches and the fragrant lemons, when I was very young. Also their version of John Denver's Leavin' On A Jet Plane is so great! I still listen to them to this day..

[@ruserious9577]

"We don't know their names yet..." Lol! I was like..."C'mon man!" I cracked up when you caught yourself!

[@oakhillfound847]

I think PPM covered this song to a hit but this was back in an era where folk music ruled. They covered the Dylan song Dont Think Twice as well. Also PPM were so popular they helped other folk singers get popularity such as Gotdon Lightfoot and John Denver.

You guys cant imagine how it was in the 60 s. We had this great music on the radio 24/7 and didnt appreciate it at the time but we sure do now

This was a big campfire song back in the day. I saw Peter, Paul and Mary in concert (again, back in the day) and they were great. Their personalities really come through their performances. They also sang other Dylan songs such as "The Times They Are a-Changin'", "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right",and "When the Ship Comes In."

They did a version of "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" which has a similar theme.

Paul wrote and performed the "Wedding Song (There is Love)". It is outstanding, and definitely worth a listen...

[@Amadeus1066]

I absolutely agree! One of my favorite songs!

[@beedeegee9374]

It was performed at our wedding almost 40 years ago.

Early Morning Rain, is absolutely fantastic by Peter Paul and Mary...

For another counterculture of the era, Original Cast "One Tin Soldier" (It was used in "The LEgend of Billy Jack". "Eve of Destruction" is another that still rings true today.

"Where Have All the Flowers Gone", and "The Wedding Song" are 2 of my favorites.

Bob Dylan is a freaking songwriting genius!
