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.
