Peter, Paul and Mary's career, first from 1961-70, then from 1978-present, was extremely successful, as they were the leading folksinging group in the USA, with hit songs Including If I had a Hammer, Puff The Magic Dragon and Lemon Tree.

You may not be a fan of Folk Music, but it's hard not to enjoy Peter, Paul and Mary's excellent blend of harmony-and Mary Travers was a great part of that..Prayers to her Family and to Peter Yarrow and Noel Paul Stookey..
