While he lent his voice in support of social justice causes throughout his 94 years, one cause hit particularly close to home. Their version of “Goodnight, Irene” was the No. Later, Seeger became a member of the Weavers, a folk quartet that popularized such traditional songs as “Wimoweh” and “Kisses Sweeter Than Wine.” The two created the Almanac Singers, a group focused on patriotic and pro-labor union performances. He began as a solo artist, joining forces early on with mentor Woody Guthrie. His adaptation of “We Shall Overcome” became an anthem of the civil rights movement. Seeger (1919-2014), the child of two classical musicians, used traditional folk music to raise awareness of the social and political causes of his time. Pete Seeger, the social conscience and clarion voice behind such folk classics as “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” and “If I Had a Hammer,” will be honored with the latest stamp in the Postal Service’s Music Icons series. The Pete Seeger stamp will feature a photograph taken by the singer’s son Dan.
