Peter, Paul and Mary

Peter, Paul and Mary are an American folk music group formed in New York City in 1961, during the American folk music renaissance phenomenon. The trio consists of tenor Peter Yarrow, baritone Paul Stookey and contralto Mary Travers. The group's repertoire includes songs written by Yarrow and Stookey, original songs by Bob Dylan, and covers by other folk musicians. They were very successful in the early and mid-1960s, with their debut album topping the charts for weeks, and helping to popularize a folk music renaissance. After Travers' death in 2009, Yarrow and Stookey continued to act as a duo under their own names.

Peter, Paul and Mary are the best folk band and have been called the pinnacle of the folk industry just because their first album made him famous. Their first song, Puff the Magic Dragon, was released in 1963, bringing a sense of protest and riot to listeners in a particular era. They formed their band on the basis of their friendship and they were very successful.
