My Take
Mary Travers fascinates me less as one third of Peter, Paul and Mary than as a witness to a turning era. Raised inside Greenwich Village's folk awakening, she carried a contralto that gave the trio its spine, and she lent that voice to the civil rights movement when it mattered. What I admire is how she treated song as testimony rather than entertainment. A Kentucky-born girl who became one of the defining sounds of the 1960s is a remarkable arc, and her death in 2009 closed a real chapter. To me she's proof that conviction can outlast a melody.
