Peter Yarrow, Folk Music Icon of Peter, Paul and Mary, Dies at 86

Peter Yarrow, a member of the beloved folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary, has passed away at the age of 86 in New York after battling cancer. Known for hits like ‘Puff, the Magic Dragon’ and their rendition of ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’, Yarrow’s music resonated with themes of social activism in the 1960s. Despite facing controversy in the 1970s for a criminal conviction, Yarrow remained a prominent figure in the folk music scene until his later years, when he toured again with his bandmates until their eventual separation.
