He continued, \u201cI saw these young people at Cornell who were basically very conservative in their backgrounds opening their hearts up and singing with an emotionality and a concern through this vehicle called folk music. It gave me a clue that the world was on its way to a certain kind of movement, and that folk music might play a part in it and that I might play a part in folk music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Per the AP, during the turbulent 1960s, he and Noel Paul Stookey<\/strong> and Mary Travers<\/strong> performed and released no fewer than six Billboard Top 10 singles and two number 1 albums.
