Peter Yarrow, a founding member of the iconic folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary, passed away at 86, leaving behind a significant legacy in music.
A prominent figure in the 1960s folk scene, Yarrow's original song 'Puff, the Magic Dragon' became emblematic of the era's musical spirit, reflecting themes of childhood innocence.
Despite his legal troubles in the 1970s stemming from an incident involving a minor, Yarrow's career was later revitalized, particularly after receiving a presidential pardon from Jimmy Carter.
Peter, Paul and Mary's music shaped the 1960s folk revival movement, with their harmonious sound and socially conscious lyrics resonating deeply during that tumultuous decade.
