American Folk singer and activist Pete Seeger has passed away at the age of 94.
Rest in Peace Pete. With a career that spans a barely
believable nine decades, a hatful of hits including “If I Had a Hammer (The
Hammer Song),” “Where Have All the Flowers Gone,” and “Turn! Turn! Turn! (To
Everything There Is a Season)” the single-handed popularisation of the
five-string banjo in modern music and a rightful claim to having had a major
hand in the 50s and 60s folk boom that brought the likes of Bob Dylan and Joan
Baez to prominence, there can be few artists as influential as Pete Seeger.
