Early life and family

[edit]

Peter Yarrow was born inManhattan,the son of Vera Wisebrode (née Vira Burtakoff) and Bernard Yarrow. His parents were educatedUkrainian Jewishimmigrants, whose families had settled inProvidence, Rhode Island.

Bernard Yarrow (1899–1973) attended theJagiellonian University(Kraków, Poland) and theOdesa University(Odesa, Ukraine), before emigrating to the United States in 1922, at the age of 23.[1]He anglicized his surname from Yaroshevitz to Yarrow, obtained a Bachelor of Science degree fromColumbia Universityin 1925 where he joinedPhi Sigma Deltafraternity,[2]and graduated from Columbia Law School in 1928. He then maintained a private law practice in New York City until 1938, when he was appointed an assistant district attorney under the then-district attorney,Thomas E. Dewey.In 1944 he was recruited into theOffice of Strategic Services,where he served with distinction.[3]

After the war, Bernard Yarrow joinedSullivan and Cromwell,theDullesbrothers' law firm.[4]He was a founding board member of theNational Committee for a Free Europe,an anti-Communist organization. In 1952, he became a senior vice-president of the CIA-funded Radio Free Europe, an organization he helped to found.[5]

Yarrow's mother Vera (1904–1991), who had come to America at age three, became a speech and drama teacher at New York'sJulia Richman High Schoolfor girls. She and Bernard divorced in 1943 when their son Peter was five, and Vera subsequently married Harold Wisebrode, the executive director of theCentral SynagogueinManhattan.[6]Bernard Yarrow married his wartime London OSS partner Silvia Tim, and converted to Protestantism.[7]

Peter Yarrow spent the summers of 1951 and 1952 at Interlochen's Music camp. Peter graduated second in his class among male students with a physics prize from New York'sHigh School of Music and Art,where he had studied painting. He was accepted atCornell Universityas a physics major but soon switched majors, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts inpsychologyin 1959. Among his Cornell classmates wereLenny Lipton,Thomas Pynchon,Richard FariñaandDavid Shetzline.[citation needed]

Yarrow began singing in public during his last year at Cornell while participating in Harold Thompson's popular American Folk Literature course, colloquially known on campus as "Romp-n-Stomp". The course was "a highlight of late-1950s student life at Cornell", Yarrow reminisced, and the ability to sing and play guitar was a prerequisite for enrollment.[8]Thompson would lecture on a topic for 20 or 30 minutes and afterwards a student would sing songs related to his theme. The experience of performing in front of a large audience was a thrilling one for Yarrow, who discovered he loved it. He branched out to lead community sings on weekends.

Upon graduation, Yarrow played in folk clubs in New York City, appeared on the CBS television showFolk Sound USA,and performed at theNewport Folk Festival,where he met manager and musical impresarioAlbert Grossman.[9]One day, the two were atIsrael Young's Folklore Center inGreenwich Villagediscussing Grossman's idea for a new group that would be "an updated version ofthe Weaversfor the baby-boom generation... with the crossover appeal ofThe Kingston Trio".Yarrow noticed a picture ofMary Traverson the wall and asked Grossman who she was. "That's Mary Travers," Grossman said. "She'd be good if you could get her to work."[10]The lanky, blonde Kentucky-born Travers was well connected inGreenwich Villagefolk song circles. While still a high-school student at the progressiveElizabeth Irwin High Schoolshe had been picked out by Elizabeth Irwin's chorus leaderRobert De Cormierto sing in a trio called The Song Swappers, backing upPete Seegerin the 1955FolkwaysLP reissue of theAlmanac Singers'The Talking Unionand two other albums. As well as performing twice with Seeger at Carnegie Hall, Travers had also played a folksinger in a short-lived Broadway play calledThe Next President,starring satiristMort Sahl,but she was known to be painfully introverted and loath to sing professionally.[11]

To draw Travers out, "Mr. Yarrow went to Ms. Travers's apartment onMacDougal Street,across from the Gaslight, one of the principal folk clubs. They harmonized on 'Miner's Lifeguard', a union song, and decided that their voices blended. To fill out the trio, Ms. Travers suggested Noel Stookey, a friend doing folk music and stand-up comedy at the Gaslight. "They chose the catchy" Peter, Paul and Mary "as the name for their group, sinceNoel Stookey's middle name was Paul, and rehearsed intensively for six months, touring outside New York before debuting in 1961 as a polished act atThe Bitter Endnightclub in Greenwich Village. There, the singers quickly developed a following and signed a contract withWarner Brothers.[11]

Warner released Peter, Paul and Mary's "Lemon Tree"as a single in early 1962. The trio then released"If I Had a Hammer",a song written in 1949 byPete SeegerandLee Haysto protest the imprisonment of Harlem City CouncilmanBenjamin J. Davis, Jr.under theSmith Act."If I had a Hammer" garnered two Grammy Awards in 1962. The trio's first album, the eponymousPeter, Paul & Mary,remained in the Top 10 for ten months and in the Top 20 for two years; it sold more than two million copies. The group toured extensively and recorded numerous albums, both live and in the studio.[12][13]

In June 1963, Peter, Paul and Mary released a 7 "single of"Blowin' in the Wind"by the then-relatively unknownBob Dylan,who was also managed by Grossman. "Blowin' in the Wind" sold 300,000 copies in the first week of release; by August 17, it was number two on the Billboard pop chart, with sales exceeding one million copies. Yarrow recalled that when he told Dylan he would make more than $5,000 (equivalent to $50,000 in 2023[14]) from the publishing rights, Dylan was speechless.[15]On August 28, 1963, Peter, Paul and Mary appeared on stage with the ReverendMartin Luther King Jr.at his historicMarch on Washingtonwhere their performance of "Blowin' in the Wind" established it as a civil rights anthem.[16]Their version also spent weeks onBillboard's easy listening chart. By 1964 the 26-year-old Yarrow had joined the Board of the Newport Folk Festival, where he had performed as an unknown just four years earlier.[17]

Yarrow's songwriting helped to create some of Peter, Paul and Mary's best-known songs, including "Puff, the Magic Dragon","Day Is Done","Light One Candle",and" The Great Mandala ". As a member of the trio, he earned a 1996Emmynomination for theGreat PerformancesspecialLifeLines Live,a highly acclaimed celebration of folk music, with their musical mentors, contemporaries, and a new generation of singer-songwriters.[18]

Yarrow was instrumental in founding the New Folks Concert series at both theNewport Folk Festivaland theKerrville Folk Festival.[19]His work at Kerrville has been called his "most important achievement in this arena".[20]

Yarrow co-wrote and produced "Torn Between Two Lovers",a number one hit forMary McGregor.He also produced threeCBSTV specials based on "Puff, the Magic Dragon", which earned anEmmynomination for him. In 1978 Yarrow organized Survival Sunday, an antinuclear benefit, and after a period of separation, he was once again joined by Stookey and Travers.[21]

Yarrow and his daughter, Bethany Yarrow, often perform together. Together with cellistRufus Cappadocia,they form the trio Peter, Bethany, and Rufus.[22]They released the CDPuff & Other Family Classics.In 2008, the musical specialPeter, Bethany & Rufus: Spirit of Woodstock,featuring a live performance of the band, aired onpublic television.[23]

Yarrow portrayed leftist intellectual Ira Mandelstam in the 2015 filmWhile We're Young.[24][25]

Social activism

[edit]

Yarrow has long been an activist for social and political causes. What he did was not always popular. According toThe New York Times:

As their fame grew, Peter, Paul and Mary mixed music with political and social activism. In 1963, the trio marched withMartin Luther King Jr.inSelma, Alabama,andWashington, D.C.The three participated in countless demonstrations against the war in Vietnam. They sang at the 1969 March on Washington, which Mr. Yarrow helped to organize. Though their activism provoked a steady stream of death threats, they were never harmed. "But for years, I used to bite my fingernails on stage," [Mary] Travers says. "There you are and look like the back porch light, and stare out at 12,000 or 15,000 people. Any one of whom could have had a gun."[26]

Operation Respect

[edit]

In 2000, in an effort to combat school bullying, Yarrow helped start Operation Respect,[27]a nonprofit organization that brings to children, in schools and camps, a curriculum of tolerance and respect for each other's differences. The project began as a result of Yarrow and his daughter Bethany and his son Christopher having heard the songDon't Laugh at Me(written bySteve SeskinandAllen Shamblin) at the Kerrville Folk Festival.[28][29][30]

In March 2008, Yarrow toldReuters:

Operation Respect has been my main and all-consuming work for the past 10 years. My perception is that the kind of bullying, humiliation that goes on in children's schools leads to high rates ofdepressionthat was virtually unknown when I was young and the highsuiciderate of teenagers which we know is almost inevitably caused by bullying or mean-spiritedness. It is a reflection of the role models that young people observe on TV shows like a lot of the reality shows. It is also part and parcel of the characteristics in the adult world of America.[31]

Other activism

[edit]

Yarrow's leadership in the campaign to freeSoviet Jewryinspired another generation. Of the song "Light One Candle", Rabbi Allison Bergman Vann wrote:

Peter Yarrow's now famous song, which was written in 1983, became a defining song for my generation of high school and college students to become activists, to make the world a better place. I heard Peter Yarrow singing that song on the steps of the Capitol, in 1987, twenty years ago next week, during the march to free Soviet Jews. Listening to him sing, surrounded by literally thousands of like-minded individuals, I learned of my obligation to change the world; to engage in tikkun olam, repair of our broken world. And, during that incredible day, I knew that we could, indeed, change the world.[32][better source needed]

In 2005, Yarrow performed inHo Chi Minh Cityat a concert to benefit the Vietnam Association of Victims ofAgent Orange;Yarrow pleaded with theVietnamesefor forgiveness of the United States.[33]

Yarrow serves on the board of directors of the Connecticut Hospice.[20][34][better source needed]

On November 1, 2008, Yarrow performed across New York City for volunteers who worked for thepresidential campaign of Senator Barack Obama.[35]

On October 3, 2011, Yarrow, his son, and his daughter made an appearance atZuccotti Parkduring theOccupy Wall Streetprotests, playing songs such as "We Shall Not Be Moved"and a variation of" Puff the Magic Dragon ".[36][37]

Yarrow is a member ofBraver Angels.[38] On April 3, 2021, he participated in an online interfaithPassover Sederhosted by the organization.

Personal life

[edit]

Yarrow has cited Judaism as one of the roots of hisliberalviews.[39]

While campaigning for 1968 presidential candidateEugene McCarthy,Yarrow met McCarthy's niece, Mary Beth McCarthy, inWisconsin.He was 31, she was 20.[40][41]They were married in October 1969[39]inWillmar, Minnesota.Paul Stookey wrote "Wedding Song (There Is Love)"as his gift for their wedding and first performed it at St. Mary's Church in Willmar. They had two children, but later divorced.[42]

In December 2000, Yarrow'sLarriveeacoustic guitar was stolen on an airplane flight. In early 2005, fans spotted the guitar oneBay.TheFBIrecovered it inSunny Isles Beach, Florida,and returned it to Yarrow. He did not press charges, as the person from whom it was recovered was not the same individual as the one who had stolen it.[43]

Yarrow performed the world premiere of "The Colonoscopy Song" on theCBSearly morning programThe Early Showon March 9, 2010.[44]

Yarrow has acknowledged being an alcoholic, and sought treatment for the disease. He considers himself in recovery.[45]

A longtime resident of New York City, Yarrow has also owned a vacation home inTelluride, Colorado.Yarrow's son, Christopher, is a visual artist who in the late 2000s owned an emporium inPortland, Oregon,named The Monkey & The Rat.[46]

Criminal conviction and pardon

[edit]

In 1970, Yarrow was convicted and served three months in prison for taking "improper liberties" with 14-year-old Barbara Winter, who went with her 17-year-old sister to Yarrow's hotel room in Washington, DC seeking an autograph. Winter stated that Yarrow answered the door naked and made her masturbate him until he ejaculated. Yarrow served three months of a 1–3 year prison sentence.[47][48][49][50][51]He apologized for the incident, saying that "it was an era of real indiscretion and mistakes by categorically male performers. I was one of them. I got nailed. I was wrong. I'm sorry for it."[48]

Yarrow was granted a presidential pardon byJimmy Carteron January 19, 1981, the day before Carter's presidency ended.[47][48][52]For decades, Yarrow avoided mention of the assault, but by the early 2000s, it became a campaign issue for politicians he supports.[50][53][54]In 2004, U.S. RepresentativeMartin Frostof Texas, a Democrat, canceled a fundraising appearance with Yarrow after his opponent ran a radio advertisement about Yarrow's offense;[50]in 2013, Republican politicians in New York called on Democratic congressional candidate Martha Robertson to cancel a scheduled fundraiser with Yarrow.[53][55]In 2019, he was disinvited from a folk music festival when the organizers were informed of his conviction.[56]

In May 2021,The Washington Postwrote that "[Yarrow's] pardon by Carter — perhaps the only one in U.S. history wiping away a conviction for a sexual offense against a child — escaped scrutiny when it happened. It was granted just hours before the American hostages in Iran were freed, which captured headlines for weeks." The same article details other allegations of sexual assault of minors made against Yarrow.[47]

Awards and honors

[edit]

Yarrow received theAllard K. LowensteinAward in 1982 for his "remarkable efforts in advancing the causes of human rights, peace, and freedom".[57]In 1995 the Miami Jewish Federation recognized Yarrow's continual efforts by awarding itsTikkun OlamAward for his part in helping to "repair the world".[57][58]

Yarrow was awarded the Kate Wolf Memorial Award by theWorld Folk Music Associationin 1993.[59]

In 2003 a congressional resolution recognized Yarrow's achievements and those of Operation Respect.[39][60]
