I was born in 1953. In, I think, 1955 The Weavers played at the University of Illinois. My very first concert. I've loved them ever since. Pete is still alive and beyond doubt should get a Nobel Peace Prize. Write your congressman(or woman) and ask that they nominate him. Unless they're Republican, in which case you would just be wasting your time.

Cut my harmonizing teeth on this one, singing with my family to make our own fun. . . so much fun that we never knew how "deprived" we were.

This video is much better than the original weavers record with gordon jenkins stings added.
Ledbelly's lyric was "I'll GET you in my dreams." but that didn't fly on a commercial label and on TV.

@wheimer2 The version by Gordon Jenkins was #1 at that time.

@pannoni1 Tony Bennett didn't make a comeback. He never left.

Just a bit of research on the Weavers will clue you in on how popular they were, how important to the development of what became 'folk music', and what they suffered, labeled communists and blacklisted, unable to perform. Their catalog on Decca was pulled off the shelves. Eventually the tide turned, after several years, and they were able to perform again. "Goodnight Irene" was a HUGE hit - starying at #1 for 13 weeks. .
