Peter Yarrow
Peter Yarrow (May 31, 1938 – January 7, 2025) was an American singer‑songwriter and social activist best known as a founding member of the influential 1960s folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary. Born in Manhattan to Ukrainian Jewish immigrants, he studied psychology at Cornell University before joining the Greenwich Village folk scene. Alongside Noel Paul Stookey and Mary Travers, Yarrow helped popularize Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind” and co‑wrote the beloved “Puff, the Magic Dragon.” The group became a musical voice of the civil rights and anti‑Vietnam War movements. In 1970, Yarrow was convicted of taking improper liberties with a minor, serving three months in prison and later receiving a presidential pardon in 1981. He continued performing, often with his daughter, until his death of bladder cancer in New York at age 86.
