Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey and Mary Travers form the American folk-singing trio Peter, Paul and Mary. They began in New York City’s coffee house cultural scene, and became one of the best-known and most successful folk groups. They debuted at The Bitter End, a club in Greenwich Village, New York, and their debut album, Peter, Paul & Mary, made it into the top ten.
The group had many hits, but only one recording reached Number One: Leaving on a Jet Plane, by John Denver. The trio parted in or about 1970 to pursue solo careers, but never had the success as as individuals they had achieved as a group. They reunited in the late 1970s. Peter, Paul and Mary are known for being advocates for social justice, and still tour together.
