Peter Seeger (May 3, 1919 - January 27, 2014) was an American folk singer and activist. A fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, he also had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of the Weavers. In the 1960s, he re-emerged on the public scene as a prominent singer of protest music in support of international disarmament, civil rights, counterculture and environmental causes. Seeger was one of the folksingers most responsible for popularizing the spiritual "We Shall Overcome" that became the acknowledged anthem of the 1960s American Civil Rights Movement. At the November 15, 1969, Vietnam Moratorium March on Washington, DC, he led 500, 000 protesters in singing John Lennon's song "Give Peace a Chance". In 2008, Appleseed Recordings released Seeger's first studio album in 12 years and though once banned from commercial TV, he made an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman. He died in 2014 at the age of 94.
