1960S Folk Ch 5 AU 14.Pptx
The 1960s Rebellion with a Cause Rebel without a Cause James Dean - 1955 1 Rebellion with a Cause Civil Rights Movement and Popular Music • Though rock and roll had bridged some racial divisions, it was avoided by civil rights activists as an emblem for their movement – Commercial success seemed inappropriate to associate with struggle against authority • Early worker’s union songs of solidarity “moved the movement” (Civil Rights) not rock – International Workers of the World (IWW) – Labor movement (1905)organized protests to secure equality for all workers – protest songs served as unifying force – IWW closed after World War I because of fears that it was a Communist organization • The Civil Rights movement opened the door for many black artists and black-owned record labels Woody Guthrie (1912-1967) Pete Seeger (1919-2014) • Folk music - English, Irish and Welch music brought to US by immigrants in 19th century • Simple acoustic songs about common people and ordinary events • 20th century Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger brought political material to traditional folk music Pete Seeger • Seeger sang with the band “The Weavers” If I Had a Hammer (1949) • Sang politically motivated songs to promote social action and support labor movements • Sang for peace, civil rights, and workers’ rights • Both Seeger and Guthrie “blackballed” as communists during McCarthy Hearings (1954) – Folk music popularity diminished until revival in early 1960s partially because of presumed connections to Communism 2 • Woody Guthrie - “This Land is your Land” (1940) written in part to show distaste for Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America” (1939) which he felt was unrealistic and did not represent all people • “I sing the songs of the people that do all of the little jobs and the mean and dirty hard work in the world and of their wants and their hopes and their plans for a decent life” - Woody Guthrie God Bless America Irving Berlin (1939) God Bless America, Land that I love. -

A Singer Who Let That Big Light of Hers Shine by Dwight Garner Odetta Performing on Stage in London in 1963
A Singer Who Let That Big Light of Hers Shine By Dwight Garner Odetta performing on stage in London in 1963. Ronald Dumont/Hulton Archive, via Getty Images In the biography of nearly every white rock performer of a certain vintage, there’s a pivotal moment — more pivotal than signing the ill-advised first contract that leads to decades of litigation, and more pivotal than the first social disease. The moment is when the subject watched Elvis Presley’s appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” on Sept. 9, 1956. For Black audiences and many future musicians, the crucial moment came three years later. On Dec. 10, 1959, CBS, in partnership with Revlon, broadcast a prime-time special called “Tonight With Belafonte,” produced and hosted by Harry Belafonte, the debonair and rawboned Jamaican- American singer. These weren’t easy years for Black families to gather around the television. As Margo Jefferson wrote in her memoir “Negroland,” they turned on the set “waiting to be entertained and hoping not to be denigrated.” Belafonte was given artistic control over his program. He told executives he wanted a largely unknown folk singer named Odetta to perform prominently. One executive asked, “Excuse me, Harry, but what is an Odetta?” Revlon was bemused to learn she did not wear makeup. The hourlong show was commercial-free except for a Revlon spot at the beginning and end. At the start, Belafonte sang two songs. In what is, amazingly, the first in-depth biography of this performer, “Odetta: A Life in Music and Protest,” the music writer Ian Zack picks up the story. -
Pete Seeger, Songwriter and Champion of Folk Music, Dies at 94
Pete Seeger, Songwriter and Champion of Folk Music, Dies at 94 By Jon Pareles, The New York Times, 1/28 Pete Seeger, the singer, folk-song collector and songwriter who spearheaded an American folk revival and spent a long career championing folk music as both a vital heritage and a catalyst for social change, died Monday. He was 94 and lived in Beacon, N.Y. His death was confirmed by his grandson, Kitama Cahill Jackson, who said he died of natural causes at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. Mr. Seeger’s career carried him from singing at labor rallies to the Top 10 to college auditoriums to folk festivals, and from a conviction for contempt of Congress (after defying the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950s) to performing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at an inaugural concert for Barack Obama. 1 / 13 Pete Seeger, Songwriter and Champion of Folk Music, Dies at 94 For Mr. Seeger, folk music and a sense of community were inseparable, and where he saw a community, he saw the possibility of political action. In his hearty tenor, Mr. Seeger, a beanpole of a man who most often played 12-string guitar or five-string banjo, sang topical songs and children’s songs, humorous tunes and earnest anthems, always encouraging listeners to join in. His agenda paralleled the concerns of the American left: He sang for the labor movement in the 1940s and 1950s, for civil rights marches and anti-Vietnam War rallies in the 1960s, and for environmental and antiwar causes in the 1970s and beyond. -

Marshall, the founder of the Flicker Arts Collaborate, RIIFF has become a focal point of international films by everyone from up-and-coming filmmakers to highly seasoned actors and directors.
