Talk:Peter, Paul and Mary

You never heard of...?!

Well, Hayford, I can understand if you've nevah hoid of The Great Mandela, (especially since I just looked it up and see it written as 'great Mandela/Mandella/Mandala' and I don't have an album handy to check, but...but...which other one did you miss--Where Have All the Flowers Gone or The Wedding Song--and why do you admit that in public?  :) Aleta Curry 22:21, 2 September 2008 (CDT)

Geez, I grew up on "Flowers" and still play it on my computer when its alloted time comes around in the rotation (in fact, I love that song), but the Wedding Song is new to me. Frankly, I never liked any of their albums after about 1966, I guess.... Bought some of them, then threw them away -- they were becoming too trendy.... Hayford Peirce 00:07, 3 September 2008 (CDT)

Ha! Well, I figgered it was "Flowers" that you knew, because of your generation, but one doesn't like to presume, y'know. The Wedding Song (There is Love) was a late one, which explains why you missed it--it became oh, so overused--it was like the Flavour of the Month Wedding Song for kids a little older than I was. Actually, come to think of it, was The Wedding Song *actually* a PP&M hit, or was that a Paul Stookey solo effort? I'm starting to think the latter--hmm....

Do you like The Fureys version of Flowers, by the way?

Never hoid of either the Fureys OR their version of Flowers. :( As for The Wedding Song, my The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits says it was a 1963 hit for Patti LaBelle (#37), called Down the Aisle (Wedding Song), and a #24 hit in 1971 for Paul Stookey called Wedding Song (There Is Love). Dunno if the two songs are the same, however. In any case, I never heard either of them....
