Ok Maybe that is not Folk. But these are: The Seekers,
The Mommas and Poppas. Peter Paul and Mary, Joan Baez,
All New kind of Folk, and the New Young Clubbers, loved them:
Let’s hear some of those recordings:
Put in:
All My Trials, Peter,Paul and Mary 3.17
The Vietnam War started in 1954.. American Young Men
were being sent to fight in the Vietnam War.
And this was the start of the PROTEST MOVEMENT.
This brought Many New Kind of Songs to Folk Music
So, We had New Songs, new Singers. Like Joan Baez, Tom Paxton,
And So Many More real new sort of Songs:
So We Got Songs Like this.
