A propos de cet article

Signed and inscribed warmly by Noel Paul Stookey: "For the 'glamorous' . . In thanks for the hopes for the years for Love of it all." Both book and dustjacket are in excellent condition. From their early days in Greenwich Village s coffeehouses to becoming central figures in the 1960s folk revival the trio s performances were deeply tied to social causes civil rights, anti-war protests, and environmental movements. The book blends their collective voice, even posthumously including Mary Travers perspective, to reflect their unity and shared values. Beyond her beauty and voice, the book reveals her as a principled, trailblazing woman who defied norms and inspired generations.

This isn t just a retrospective it s a heartfelt tribute to a group whose harmonies carried the hopes of a generation. ; Square 4to 9" - 11" tall; 144 pages; Signed by Author.

Synopsis

This carefully crafted and collectible volume tells the intimate story of Peter, Paul, and Mary and their music, in their words and with iconic images that follow their passionate, fifty-year journey to the center of America’s heart. Photographs, many rare and never before published, taken over five decades by some of the world’s top photographers, follow them from their earliest performances in the 1960s, when Mary was the most desired, beautiful, and charismatic performer and a new role model for women. Follow the trio as they lead America to discover the passionate soul of folk music. Join the struggle for racial equality, social justice, and freedom in this memorable journey, from the historic 1963 March on Washington with Martin Luther King, Jr., to the trio’s appearance before a half million people in 1969 to end the Vietnam War, to their singing at the Hollywood Bowl for Survival Sunday in 1978, helping to launch the anti-nuke movement, the world’s first international environmental movement.


Through these images, readers will feel and almost hear the trio’s songs calling for a more caring, better world as they performed with a courage and conviction that became for so many the embodiment and soundtrack of their generation’s awakening to conscience, to activism, and to a new dream for all of humankind. Peter, Paul, and Mary’s songs of defiant hope and a certain unmasked innocence are still a powerful part of our American consciousness, and this book reenacts the history of how the trio marked many lives with their indelible stamp of honesty of the sort we all yearn to recapture and recreate today—for ourselves, our children, and the generations to come.

À propos de l?auteur

Peter, Paul, and Mary came into being at the dawn of John F. Kennedy’s presidency, as America entered one of its most dramatic periods of social and political change. With music being one of the great forces that brought them together, Americans united in unprecedented ways to create a more just and peaceful society. Folk music, with its ability to reach people’s hearts, became the sound track of this remarkable quest, and Peter, Paul, and Mary became standard-bearers of America’s new hopes and dreams.
