MARY TRAVERS
Following a long battle with leukemia, the Peter, Paul and Mary singer died Sept. 16 at age 72. The singer had won five Grammys with the trio, whose folk songs include "Puff, the Magic Dragon" and "Blowin' in the Wind." "Mary helped awaken mainstream America to the humanizing message of folk music. She reached millions of people in the struggle to guarantee social justice for all and has left a profound and lasting impact on all of us," her bandmates and friends said in a statement.
