Elvis was influenced by Carl Perkins....any way ya look at rock and roll...it came from the black gospel music from the south...Elvis was  big gospel fan...i love the ole blues singers....Muddy Waters...Led Zep copied his style...rock music i guess came from the black music scene from the early days....Elvi is also part cheeoke indian...german and english

Wow, just now I see Pete Seeger is on PBS on American Masters!

[Deb_c430]

I liked a lot of folk singers, but i was always more into the eagles, Jackson brown,  that generation.

Woody came first, then Dylan, then Arlo.  Dylan started to become popular in 62 or 63.  Arlo first got widespread notice at the 67 Newport Folk Festival.  By then Woody was hospitalized with Hundington's, as Eric said.  Bob Dylan was a devotee of Woody's work, his "Song for Woody" is for Woody Guthrie.  Arlo grew up making music.  In '67 he recorded "Alice's Restaurant," which got national attention.  Arlo made a film of Alice's Restaurant.  Woody is in the film, as is Lee Hays, another folk legend and contemporary of Woody and Pete Seeger.  

In the Youtube link I posted above, Arlo plays with Pete, Pete's grandson Tao (standing between Pete and Arlo, Arlo's son Abe (drummer) and Arlo's Daughter Sara Lee.  That video is about 15 years old.  That bunch is still touring with the addition of more of Arlo's children and their spouses and children.  Pete is 88 or 89 now and still going strong.

(I'm a folk music lover, can you tell?)


I guess we hijacked this Elvis thread - oops!

In the early days when Dylan first came to NY, he used to visit Woodie who was in a hospital in Brooklyn.  Woody had Huntington's disease and spent the last years of his life in the hospital.  Dylan talked about the influence Woody had on him in the mini autobiography he wrote.

[Deb_c430]

so arlo came first?   then dylan?   elvis i only started liking lately, my sister s all loved him, one used have a shrine with candles even for him,  after he passed So I had to be different,  

[jdwithhcv]

Arlo Guthrie's father Woody was one of Dylan's biggest influences.
