just going on memory of a rumor I heard, but there *is*
a distinct possibility that PP&M were "put together" to
provide a musically "nice" voice for Bob Dylan's
songs.
WIlipedia sez:
"The group was created by manager Albert Grossman, who sought to create a folk "supergroup" by bringing together "a tall blonde (Travers), a funny guy (Stookey), and a good looking guy (Yarrow)." He launched the group in 1961, booking them into the Bitter End, a coffee house in New York City's Greenwich Village that was a favorite place to hear folk artists. ....
Their biggest single hit came with the Bob Dylan song, "Blowin' in the Wind," which was an international #1. It was the fastest selling single ever cut by Warner Brothers Records. For many years after, the group was at the forefront of the civil rights movement and other causes promoting social justice. The later hit "Leaving on a Jet Plane" was actually written by the then unknown John Denver."
