Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen 2009
The singer, banjo player and songwriter Pete
Seeger, who has died aged 94, popularised folksong performance during the 1940s and 50s and was a key
figure in the folk revival from the 60s onwards. He wrote Where Have All the
Flowers Gone? and helped make famous We Shall Overcome. A multitude of artists
recorded his work across six decades, including Odetta, Bruce Springsteen and Peter, Paul and Mary, and he recorded more
