Summary: A name I will never forget.
Comment: This is one of the most inspiring stories I've ever seen. I knew some of Pete Seger's songs without knowing his name. Now, it's a name I will never forget. Not necessarily because of his transcendence in the music of our world, but mostly as an example in ethics.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Carry it on
Comment: I love this! It's a piece of history captured, the power of song, and the impact one human being with a banjo following their heart can make. I grew up with Pete Seeger, and remember being at his childrens concerts. Thank you to all who put this together.

Editorial Reviews:
|
In Pete Seeger: The Power of Song, Director Jim Brown documents the life of one of the greatest American singer/songwriters of the last century. Pete Seeger was the architect of the folk revival, writing some of its best known songs including Where Have All the Flowers Gone, Turn, Turn, Turn and If I Had A Hammer. Largely misunderstood and criticized for his strong beliefs he was picketed, protested, blacklisted, and, in spite of his enormous popularity, banned from commercial television for more than 17 years. Musicians including Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt, Brice Springsteen, Natalie Maines, and Peter, Paul and Mary appear in this intimate portrait and discuss Seeger s lasting influence on the fabric of American music.
