Peter Yarrow, who rose to fame as part of the folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary, passed away at 86 after battling bladder cancer for four years.
Yarrow was not only known for his popular songs like Puff the Magic Dragon, but also for politically charged performances, notably at the 1963 March on Washington.
His musical contributions include hit singles and notable political activism, with songs that reflected social issues and the yearning for a better world.
Despite his success and prominence, Yarrow had a controversial past, having served prison time for indecent liberties, a factor that affected his later career.
