Peter, Paul & Mary: Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey (vocals, guitar); Mary Travers (vocals).
Although the Weavers' Lee Hays and Pete Seeger wrote "If I Had a Hammer" in the early 1950s, the group never recorded the song in their original incarnation. Until Peter, Paul and Mary released it as their second single in the summer of 1963, it was a fairly obscure tune even in folkie circles. Their spirited rendition of Hays and Seeger's tune quickly became an enormous pop success and also turned the song into an anthem for the collegiate folk revival, guaranteed to appear at least once in every campus hootenanny well into the '70s. It's also the showpiece of Peter, Paul and Mary's self-titled debut album, one of the best-selling folk records of all time.

"I believe that recording artists in the 1960s did a great deal to end our involvement in Vietnam. Although I was draft age at the hight of the war, Peter Paul and Mary were before my time. They have to be the first to sing out discreetly against that horrible dabacle. It's great folk music too. This album is a great window into the mindset of the early 1960.s,"
