Pete Seeger

Description:

A rich piece that sheds light on the early days of Pete Seeger, the founder of the folk singers! Pete Seeger was a central figure in the folk revival movement. He wrote many anti-war songs including "Where Have All the Flowers Gone," and popularized the Negro spiritual released in 1901 as "Victory for Us," a song that symbolized the civil rights movement. His influence on his followers is immeasurable. This CD focuses on his early career from among his many recordings, and we have selected the most representative songs of his career. The excellent jacket, with his glasses in one hand and his guitar resting on his cheek in the other, is a must-see in its paper jacket. Commentary: Toru Sunaga
