Yarrow took lead vocals on Puff, the Enchanted Mythical beast, The Incomparable Mandella and Day Is Finished, tunes he either composed or co-composed with Noel Paul Stookey. Stookey is the last enduring individual from the gathering, as Mary Travers kicked the bucket in 2009.

Stookey told the New York Times that Yarrow was his "inventive, enthusiastic, unconstrained and melodic more youthful sibling" whom he "developed to be thankful for, and to adore, the adult past his-years astuteness and rousing direction he imparted to me like a more established sibling. Maybe Peter was both of the siblings I never had and I will profoundly miss both of him."

In their 1960s prime, the gathering had six US Top 10 singles and one No 1, a front of John Denver's Leaving on a Fly Plane, as well as five Top 10 collections.

They were additionally politically critical. In August 1963, the dynamic triplet joined the Walk on Washington and sang a front of Weave Dylan's Blowin' in the Breeze on the means of the Lincoln Dedication, which solidified the tune's heritage as a song of praise of the social liberties development.

Yarrow's melodies were many times political, recounting the narrative of a conflict dissident on hunger strike in The Incomparable Mandella, from 1967, and proposing to his child, on Day Is Finished, that his age could make a superior world.
