Peter Yarrow, a key member of the influential folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary, has died at his Manhattan home on January 7th. He was 86. The group is best known for its iconic songs such as “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “If I Had a Hammer.” However, Yarrow’s career took a hit when he pleaded guilty to a morals charge involving a minor. Despite this setback, his contributions to folk music remain significant, leaving behind a legacy of protest anthems that continue to inspire new generations of musicians and fans.
