Mary Travers - And When I Die

[1974Qball]

Too young too mean it.

[vsibirsky]

Totally hate the arrangement on this one. Mary tries her best but I had to hear Laura Nyro do this tune immediately after I heard this to wash this travesty out of my brain. Only good thing I can say is that Laura made money off of this.

[sTapleEVA]

well....shes dead now.....

[Mesalonika]

RIP Mary you gave us happiness and we loved listening to your wonderful voice. Salute!!

[henryg913]

Happy Birthday!

[tregibbs]

I LOVE THIS WOMAN !!!

[cottonjeff]

I loved her then and I love her now. She was a talented lady.

[PhilaSeaman]

OMG Laura Nyro does her own song better than anyone. Sorely sorely missed.

[pendragonU]

My Nanny sang her songs to me to sleep, later I listened to them live and their recordings. Miss her so much. Like Pete Seeger did, build another generation to continue hammering the Nation with songs of the heart

[Putaspellonyou]

great performance, i just wish they let people sing their songs on these kinds of shows and not have to do all the bullshit that went with it. its emberrasing to watch. pete seeger did it right for the hot minute they let him have a show...

[mountainmmama]

Mary was so so so beautiful.. she is definitely missed! RIP BEAUTIFUL!

[MrDarwinsDog]

A perfectly controlled, televised session for the masses - and I love it. Three talented women. One of my first LPs was a PP&M record w/ 'Puff....' and "Big Boat up the River" (wish I could find that). Cass Eliot is so good on camera just sitting, watching. And let's hear it for the composer of this piece - a fine, underrated performer as well - Laura Nyro. Thank them and bless 'em all.

[Withshortwings]

such a powerful voice. 

[nerblebun]

Mary was so hot. All the guys were in love with her back in the 60's. I still am...

RIP Fine Lady.

[rdvqc]

PP&M rose above the pack by the attention they paid to arrangement.

While they were not at peak musically (singing, writing etc.) they had a magic.

Quite a number of years later they came to town as part of one of their occasional reunion tours and we went to see them for "old time's sake" not really expecting much beyond a trip down memory lane.

They were better than ever. Better singers, many profound new compositions and amazing entertainers. They went on improving many years. more.

[kittykat4161]

I am 15 and I think Mary Travers is not only gorgeous, but also amazingly talented and obviously kind. I'd rather listen to her than Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga any day. R.I.P Mary, you are an inspiraion, and you will never be forgotten.

What a beautiful soul.

[pwk22]

Distinct lack of vibrato. She's not really a solo singer. Nor does she have perfect pitch.

I loves me some Mary Travers.

[Emma6649]

Not bad,not bad at all....

[unicornswithaids]

How beautiful can a woman be? I don't even have the words to describe her voice. Such a graceful, pure and talented gift she was.

[calif562]

nice mouth...

[MultiGeraghty]

What a true beauty Mary was! And such a clear voice and perfect diction, unlike the crap we are fed today!

[DELPHI1945]

OK sorry for calling you dummy. shouldn't have done it.

[HorrorPixieMassacre]

By the way.. what a creepy girl in the rainbow circus clothing... >_> wtf..

[DELPHI1945]

@HorrorPixieMassacre that's mama cass eliot dummy

[HorrorPixieMassacre]

@DELPHI1945 Oh my god... Now I feel bad, I had no idea! Guess I should have read the description.. Oh well, I still don't understand the clown outfit, though. Whatever.

[ldhorricks]

@HorrorPixieMassacre So the reason you "NOW" feel bad is because you have been told that the person you described as a "creepy girl in the rainbow circus clothing wtf" , is a person you didn't recognize as a celebrity?

[startrekkin1701]

Aw I love this. Mary was my role model growing up. (:

When I was like 6 or 7 I wanted to die my hair blonde and I wanted bangs just like Mary. (:

[MiserableOldFart]

Both Mary Travers and Laura Nyro who wrote the song were beautiful and talented. They are both missed.

[shangrigreige]

sweet

[michaelsmomoct27th]

RIP~

[TDS4UT]

What a beautiful woman both inside and outside. Rest in peace, Mary.

[henrypeckstv]

thoroughly modern mary,

[HyaPowa]

We've got four incredible ladies here, if you count Laura Nyro, who wrote this song.

Phenomenal!!

[bigal6868]

Forget this cheesy version.  Listen to her with her mates at the Australian Opera House, right here on YouTube

[fannycraddock99]

I like Mary but she should have never tried to sing any Laura Nyro song! It's just so wrong.

[HandwhistlerBen]

Mary was an incredibly talented singer and performer. That wonderful voice has been silenced, but I my memories from having seen Peter Paul and Mary from their beginning, with always be with me.

[gbien]

ok, so i like mary travers, but i love laura nyro, and i am sorry to say that mary's version of this song is amateur at best.

[1moebergs]

How poignant this song is now that she has passed away. I love her singing.

[vsibirsky]

@1moebergs and even more spiritual when you remind yourself that the author of this tune, Laura Nyro.. has left this word as well.

[Dartwith]

Mary Travers I love you :(

[funbunnymate]

Mary,there are hundreds of children that will carry on,your songs words and your passion for the world will live forever,we miss you.RIP Mary and thank you.

sweet dreams angel...

[sfmarklh]

Really beautiful-from the late 60's I guess. Dear Laura Nyro, how under appreciated you were, gone too soon. And Dear Mary- my life all the better - you were there all along. Thanks!

[driller1948]

mary was always beautiful-even at the end bobby

[DaveysMom]

What a loss for them music world......RIP Mary.....a part of my childhood as well....thank God we have her gift to keep her memory.

[Jazsngr]

I grew up listening to her. I love her voice. She really added to Peter and Paul...such great vocals. What will they do without her?

[GraceMcVie]

what an angel

[funbunnymate]

sleep peacefuly Mary..you are missed but you will never be forgotten..thank you Mary,and thank you ppmcsk for sharing this most precious clip..

[pretorious700]

Laura Nyro.....amazing....Mary......­fine

[legitim8]

Her stance, the way she moved her hands, head and shoulders...all so very much her. This sweet video brings back so many memories of seeing her perform live. Thank you for posting this.

[lantash709]

One more comment before I go...

I'am afraid all our wonderful artist who helped "Literally Change" the world for the better are going on... What shall we we do....?

[quigglesnap]

I just discovered the large amount of songs Mary Travers had. She was so beautiful and what a voice! She is sorely missed!

[fairybella18]

Wow... One child born to carry on........... What an awesome child huh?

[TheArtfulVlogger]

Beautiful Mary. I agree, the dancing is my favorite! Really no one like her...

[VidBrats]

I grew up listening to Mary, as well as Peter and Paul. How I will miss all of their Christmas specials... especially with the kids. Rest In Peace, Mary. You're voice and music will live on. Thanks ppmcsk for posting this awesome video.

[nezichov]

She was a part of my childhood. She has gone, but my childhood is still with me. RIP Mary, you were beautiful.

[DocJur101]

And when the angels hear you sing...

RIP

[SierraNagual]

I miss you so much, Mary. You are so beautiful.

[CreepyShadowGirl16]

i love how she dances when she sings :)

[ckmiller66]

You are beautiful, Mary, and I miss you! I first saw PP&M in St. Louis in 1968.  Then in Kasas City the next year. Got to the reunion concert in FL in 2005. Mary, you are part of my heart and soul.

[unclebobunclebob]

Saw her in solo concert in the early 70s. She looked beautiful in blue jeans.

[plexitab]

You'll be missed Mary. RIP

[SexiiAnna91]

hätte jemand lust mir mir zu labern am tele oder auch per cam zu chaten

[ElizaldeEdu]

I have always liked this song,, this is now one of my favorite versions along with blood sweat and tears version. Thank you Mary. :)

[unclebobunclebob]

It's a song by the amazing Laura Nyro. Check out HER version.

[MiserableOldFart]

@unclebobunclebob It's Laura Nyro's song, but the recording of it by Peter, Paul and Mary is one of the big breaks that Laura Nyro got, well before anyone had heard of her (or Blood, Sweat and Tears for that matter.) The PP&M version was a nice one IMHO, though nothing matches Nyro's originals.

[swampzoid]

we'll see you on the otherside mary.

goodbye.

[canajian]

Godspeed Mary...

R.I.P..

[meyoumovie]

Can someone tell me what T.V. show this video clip comes from ?

[mcspazotron]

One child was born and the world is still carrying on. R.I.P.

[ocnarfeara]

This is one of my favorite songs performed by Mary Travers, Thanks a lot for posting and sharing such a a beautiful clip!!

[SirWolfgaar]

Don't hit me, but was the blonde girl singer in the Muppet's band based on Mary Travers?

(Remember Zoot and Animal and those guys?)

[juniper30]

I don't think so. Janice was originally a hippie DUDE, lol! Had a soul patch and everything. But since Miss Piggy was the only chick at that time, they decided to make Janice...Janice.

Janice looking like Mary was just a coincidence. But she does! :D

[ha2152]

I always saw the resemblance too, but I really doubt it...

[jillclimbs]

Goodbye Mary... Thanks for all the times you made my heart soar... Peace...

[paticou3]

Have a good trip with Angels

[chillicothe20]

We'll miss you Mary!!! RIP

[Suzywriter]

Who in the world came up with that costume for Cass??

[ranchoboyeros]

there are legions here to carry on, Mary

[UNDERGROUND2000]

peterbage...they performed this is sydney and is on YOUTUBE....

[sllyglbrt]

what's with the orchestra?

[peterbagge]

I wish there was a clip of PP&M doing this together. Their version of this song is amazing!

[JoaninDC]

Reminds me of the prayer we'll say at Yom Kippur -- RIP Mary. You were too young to leave us.

[RedDragon7777]

Too short a life! Will miss her too much to write here. My prayers go with Peter and Paul and her family and friends. 8(

[SkyscrapercityCyprus]

r.i.p

[Johannady]

she looks a lot like my classmate!! *-*

[smeejay]

She's just leaving on a jet plane. Not sure when she'll be back again. RIP Mary.

[BernardProfitendieu]

oh, BROTHER!!

[smeejay]

Hate, much?

[BernardProfitendieu]

make corny comments much?

[smeejay]

I must say Mr. Villella you are aging remarkably well.

[hiutr23]

Gracias por tu maravillosa voz, Mary

Goodbye Mary Travers. Those of us who love good music will miss you.

[ricey28]

Mary Travers, RIP... there may be one child born and the world to carry on but you shall remain timeless and in our hearts,,, THANK YOU for the music

[coolbrit56]

I started playing the guitar because of Peter Paul and Mary. One of my altime favortie folk bands. As a matter of fact the first video I ever added as my favorite on YouTube was one of their's. I'm sad. So many famous people are dieing these day's. :{

[SiobhanCohen]

My very first album was Peter paul and Mary:Ten Years Together - I cannot imagine a world without Mary Travers! I bought the vinyl album in Maine and fell in love with the music, the group and especially Mary's harmony. A kind, caring soul who we shall miss though she lives on in her great music! Thank you Mary!

[Tuscanson]

Thank you for being part of the narrative.

[skilski2003]

Find your peace, now Mary. Thank you for the years of lovliness.

[Sabre2100]

Mary Travers passes and the world moves on. The world sucks.

[KateAnneNYC]

Mary Travers lived 72 plus years. The world has been blessed with great music, spirit, and activism. (Thank God for YouTube and folks who post bits and pieces of her legacy.)

[paterminor]

She gave me smiles and much happiness through her music. Thank you Mary. The world is a little less with your passing.

[lamplighter91]

Goodbye Mary. Thanks for everything. Thanks for the memories.

[royal1383]

Rest in Peace Mary Travers- God bless you! I will miss you

[magadog1]

Another great one to the ages. Loved Laura Nyro, and Mary Travers surely had the "right" to cover this one. Rest in Peace, dear Mary!

[oldpatrickt]

see you in honsah lee kid

[chimichagua]

Thanks for all dear Mary!!!!

[LoveRise]

Wow such an appropo clip! Hard to believe she's gone after hearing her sing like that. I guess it's true music can make us immortal.

[mojopo]

I have wonderful childhood memories of Mary and the band. My condolences to Mary's family and friends. She must have been brilliant to know.

[Tamaraacurtin]

RIP Mary

[agateseeker]

Loved this clip.

PEACE

[maymaywebkinz]

RIP. Mary

[moniraq]

Thanks for posting. Loved Laura Nyro and Mary Travers. RIP Mary Travers. Her great voice will be missed in this confused, crazy world.

[remodeldan]

Mary Travers Memory Eternal

[PhantomLyric]

How ironic that you post this 3 days before she dies... God bless her... beautiful woman.

[Suzywriter]

This song is the perfect epitaph.

[GinaToySculptor]

Love to you and God bless your soul and rest in peace, dear Mary - thank you. . .

[pbamse]

Thanks for posting

[cwartis]

Peter, Paul & Mary took the music of folk and

made it rock. They took the music of children and made it meaningful to adults. They passed us all: a hammer of justice, a bell of freedom, and, and a song of love. They did it with soul.

[clkallay]

O.K. Mary, now that you're free leave some of your active confident self in me. I need to remind myself of your continuous strength by having a bit of it kicking around in me.

[scifiwritir]

Thanks so much.

[Baldgol4]

Rest in peace and thanks for all of your beautiful music.

[IlanaR49]

SIGH... Our generation is slowly unraveling...

How sad to lose Mary...

She really did impact me in my youth and I still love her music!

[ElectricLabel]

I can't believe how sad I feel that Mary Travers has died. I always thought she was brilliant, but I actually cried, like I wasn't even fully aware, or didn't really remember how deeply her singing had touched me. But its all come back to me. What a wonderful human being. RIP Mary xxx

[coralarch]

Mary, I only saw you once, but you were unforgettable. Love always.

[magicminstrel]

What a gem she was. We will miss her deeply. Love to Peter and Noel Paul and all her friends in this world and the next.

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

RIP Mary. We really loved you.

[mernthefern21]

So sad to hear of Mary's passing.

Rest in Peace Mary. Your music and what you stood for will live on forever in all of us.

[boots61]

My heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Mary's family and friends. Hugs to Peter and Paul for the loss of their friend and partner.

RIP Mary

[CqCasting]

Thanks Mary, You've been an awsome inspiration to us all and we will never forget you.

[clydesplace]

I can't tell you how very sad I am tonight. You may be gone but your voice will live forever.

[jlunger]

RIP Mary, there'll be one child born to cary on!

[JohnBlvu]

You will never be forgotten.  RIP.

[GracieDuffy]

RIP Mary.

RIP mary 1936-2009

[cynb824]

I have seen a photo of these three wonderfully talented women in this setting but never knew from where it originated. WOW! Thank you so much for sharing this! Mary is just fantastic, so animated! I think this is the first video I have seen of her performing solo. Thanks again!
