Peter Yarrow is a
member of the Peter, Paul & Mary, the most successful folk music
group in history.  At 70, Yarrow is not
only one of the best-known proponents of the late-1950s/early ‘60s American
folk music revival movement, but he is still extremely active, as a performer
and social activist.  

   

Peter,
Paul and Mary sang at the March on Washington 
in 1963 and marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the historic Selma-to-Montgomery march
in 1965.  Yarrow helped organize and run
the early Newport Folk Festivals, which launched the careers of many young folk
singers, such as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. 

   

Yarrow has written several well-known songs, including
“Puff, the Magic Dragon,” a children’s song recorded by Peter, Paul & Mary,
and "Torn Between Two Lovers," a number-1hit for Mary McGregor.  This past spring, "Peter, Bethany &
Rufus: Spirit of Woodstock" appeared on national public television. It
featured 17 songs, performed in concert with his daughter, Bethany.

   

Yarrow started Operation Respect, a non-profit organization,
founded in 2000, that offers children a curriculum of tolerance and respect for
each other's differences in schools and camps around the country.  He also founded the “Save One Child” Fund at Beth Israel Hospital ’s Institute 
 of Neurology and
Neurosurgery (INN) in 1996 to provide free medical care for children from all
over the world, whose families could not afford their critically needed
neurosurgery.  In 2003, a Congressional
resolution recognized Yarrow's achievements and those of Operation Respect.  Still as active as ever, Yarrow continues to
tour and record.
