654 Peter, Paul and Mary “Blowin’ in the Wind” 1963

“their most successful year was 1963 when for pop radio Peter Paul and Mary were the focal point of the burgeoning folk movement. They had Top Ten hits with 'Puff the Magic Dragon' (a children's song that was accused of harboring drug references) and 'Blowin' in the Wind' and 'Don't Think Twice It's Alright', songs which brought their author, Dylan, into the public arena. The trio also led the singing at Martin Luther King's civil rights' march on Washington” (Phil Hardy, The Faber Companion to 20th Century Popular Music, 2001).
