Description

In spite of everything . . . here is the first and only book that visually tells us the intimate story of Peter, Paul, and Mary and their music, through their own words and with iconic images that follow their passionate, fifty-year journey to the center of The usa’s heart. The perfect of thousands of photographs, many rare and never before published, taken over five decades by probably the most world’s top photographers, follow them from their earliest performances in the 1960s, when Mary used to be the most desired, beautiful, and charismatic performer and a new role model for women. Follow the trio as they lead The usa to discover the passionate soul of folk music. Sign up for 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, you’ll feel and almost hear the trio’s songs calling for a more caring, better world as you see them performing with a courage and conviction that became for such a lot of the embodiment and sound track of their generation’s awakening to sense of right and wrong, 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 a part of our American consciousness, and this book reenacts the history of how the trio marked our lives with their indelible stamp of honesty of the sort we yearn to recapture and recreate in our own time—for ourselves, our children, and the generations to come.
