Remembering Pete Seeger
|
| American folk singer Pete Seeger passed away at age 94, leaving a musical legacy that forever altered the sound of popular song and serves as a clarion reminder how powerfully folk art can inspire positive social change. His music touched people all over the world. Perhaps he will be best remembered for adapting an old, forgotten song of the American labor movement of the 1930s and 1940s, to become the soundtrack of the civil rights movement. âWe Shall Overcomeâ is still celebrated today â from Birmingham to Belfast to Bombay â as the ultimate anthem of our shared dreams of a just and hopeful future. This obituary by ABC News captures Pete Seegerâs unique ability to build community through popular song. |
