Ep. 69: Noel Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul, and Mary
Peter, Paul and Mary, the iconic folk trio of the 1960s, achieved remarkable success and left an indelible mark on the American music landscape and social conscience. With their rich and unforgettable harmonies and lyrics that led the charge for societal change, they became the voice of a generation, producing timeless hits like "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Leaving on a Jet Plane." Their influence extended beyond music, contributing significantly to the Civil Rights and Anti-War movements of the era. Following the group's disbandment, Noel Paul Stookey embarked on a solo career, where he continued to enchant audiences with his poignant songwriting and soulful performances. His solo work, characterized by its spiritual and introspective themes, further solidified his reputation as a distinguished and impactful artist in the folk music genre.
In this most memorable conversation, Noel and I cover the span of his life, from learning what harmony is by singing as a child with his father, through the highs of Peter, Paul, and Mary, to his wonderful solo career. The highlight is being treated to a special performance of "Wedding Song (There is Love)"
Noel is one of my musical heroes, whose voice has been part of my life for as long as I could remember, and it was a great honor to have such a delightful conversation with him.
If you enjoy these meaningful and insightful conversations with artists, please share them with others. Thank you so much for listening to a simple guy who loves music and the people who make it.
