"
Flowers" was a hit recording for the Kingston Trio (1962); Marlene Dietrich, who recorded it in English, German and French (1962); and Johnny Rivers (1965).

Turn!
Turn!"
in 1965.

"We Shall Overcome" (also recorded by Joan Baez and many other singer-activists)
that became the acknowledged anthem of the Civil Rights Movement, soon after folk singer and activist Guy Carawan introduced it at the founding meeting of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in 1960.
In the PBS "American Masters" episode , Seeger said it was he who changed the lyric from the traditional
"We will overcome" to the more singable "We shall overcome".
