Stay Tuned By Stan Cornyn: Finding a Buyer … Again? (Article)
Tuesday, May 28, 2013
Every Tuesday and Thursday, former Warner Bros. Records executive and industry insider Stan Cornyn ruminates on the past, present, and future of the music business. 1967’s agreement between Atlantic Records - that it’d be bought by Eliot Hyman’s Warner-7Arts, and that Atlantic would now be owned by someone other than Ertegun-Ertegun-and-Wexler -became more and more difficult for Atlantic. But for Warner Bros. Records, at least up top, up at Mike Maitland’s peak, that deal was stunning. This new “Records” set up, it was like your apartment having two kitchens and two laundry rooms. Who needed

Stay Tuned By Stan Cornyn: Getting Heard (Article)
Tuesday, February 19, 2013
Every Tuesday and Thursday, former Warner Bros. Records executive and industry insider Stan Cornyn ruminates on the past, present, and future of the music business. The morning after Mike Maitland got the phone number he should call, he called. He connected with that Albert Grossman, who had this trio for sale. He’d assembled them, rehearsed them, kept them out of New York until The Bitter End. His super-wish: he’d create, record, and manage a folk song group with sex appeal (more than, say, Pete Seeger and all those folkies). He had cast his trio carefully. “They go by their first names,”

Rhino Factoids: Mama, Mary, and Ms. Mitchell (Article)
Thursday, June 26, 2014
45 years ago today, ABC aired a TV special which brought together three of the most talented women in the “M” section of the Famous Musicians Phone Directory of 1969: Mama Cass, Mary Travers, and Joni Mitchell. Okay, so maybe we’re stretching it a little bit by putting Ms. Travers in the “M” section – not to mention by suggesting that there might be such a thing as a Famous Musicians Phone Directory – but if such a publication did exist, we’d like to think that, if you tried just looking up “Mary,” you’d be directed to “See ‘Peter, Paul and Mary.” Moving on… On June 26, 1969, The Mama Cass

Now Available: Peter, Paul & Mary, Discovered: Live in Concert (Article)
Tuesday, November 18, 2014
It’s a good time to be a Peter, Paul & Mary fan. Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers first came together in 1961, and although they took the occasional hiatus here and there over the years, they continued to play together until Travers’ declining health took her off the stage, but even after her death in 2009, Yarrow and Stookey have carried on, taking the trio’s music into their 50th anniversary and beyond. Those five decades are being celebrated on PBS on December 1, when the network premieres a new documentary, “50 Years with Peter, Paul and Mary,” but the celebration really

Bob Lefsetz: Welcome To My World - "Peter, Paul and Mary Primer" (Article)
Friday, October 17, 2014
500 MILES Could be the first Peter, Paul and Mary track I ever heard. A staple at summer camp, it was emblematic of the folk boom, hell, we even had a folk TV show, "Hootenanny." Everybody knew the lyrics and longhaired girls strummed the tune on acoustic guitars and this could have been the first moment I realized the power of music to get the hormones flowing. I probably heard this sung before I heard the recording. That was the power of songs back then, when they could be sung. And we did. IF I HAD A HAMMER A Pete Seeger/Lee Hays composition, it's hard to overestimate the ubiquity and

Once Upon a Time at the Top Spot: Peter, Paul and Mary, “Leaving on a Jet Plane” (Article)
Tuesday, December 20, 2016
47 years ago today, Peter, Paul and Mary flew to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for the first and only time, doing so with a song written by a gentleman who went on to score a few number-one hits himself. Written in 1966 by John Denver, “Leaving on a Jet Plane” actually had another title when it was first composed, and it’s one that will be familiar to anyone who remembers the lyrics to the song: “Babe, I Hate to Go.” Denver’s producer, Milt Okun, talked him into changing it, and if Denver had any regrets about that decision, it’s doubtful that they survived beyond the day the song went to

Rhino Factoids: Peter, Paul and Mary are Number One…and Number Two, Too! (Article)
Thursday, October 27, 2016
53 years ago today, Peter, Paul and Mary achieved a relatively rare accomplishment on the Billboard 200: they held both the #1 and the #2 spot. In the early ‘60s, during the last days before Beatlemania kicked in and changed everything, folk music was all the rage, and few artists captured the mainstream audience’s collective heart quite like Peter, Paul and Mary. Their first album was a #1 hit, their second album was a #2 hit, and just to mess with your head, their third album didn’t hit #3, it hit #1. When that happened, however, the trio was riding so high that all three of their albums

Happy 50th: Peter, Paul and Mary, “Hurry Sundown” (Article)
Thursday, January 14, 2016
50 years ago today, Peter, Paul and Mary released the second single from their sixth studio album, earning eking out another top-40 hit on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, but their return to the top 40 on the Hot 100 would have to wait 'til the following year. The 1960s were a turbulent time for everyone, and it's an adjective that's an apt description for Peter, Paul & Mary's success with singles as well. Although Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers were folk superstars straight out of the gate, earning a top-40 hit for their debut single, “Lemon Tree,” a top-10 hit for their

Single Stories: Peter, Paul and Mary, “Puff The Magic Dragon” (Article)
Thursday, March 16, 2017
54 years ago today, Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers released a single which wasn’t actually about smoking pot, although the media repeatedly tried to convince the public that it was so. #FakeNews Seriously, though, “Puff the Magic Dragon” was not, in fact, about smoking marijuana. The beginnings of the song were the work of Leonard Lipton, a student at Cornell University who was friends with Yarrow’s housemate at the university. Reportedly, Lipton was inspired by Odgen Nash’s “Custard the Dragon,” and when Lipton came up with the idea, he sat down at Yarrow’s typewriter to get it
