Turn! Turn! Turn!” (1965) by  The Byrds

The most successful recorded version of the song is the #1 hit single by pioneering folk-rock band The Byrds, released in October 1965.

    Seeger was one of the most famous, today, of the Blacklisted during the McCarthy era. He wasn’t let back into the mainstream until the Smothers Brothers had him on their show in the 60’s.
