Where Have All the Flowers Gone (Seeger)
This 1926 Irving Berlin song was recorded countless times. It appeared in one of the first "talkie" films The Jazz Singer in 2017, sung by Al Jolson.
Pete Seeger wrote new verses to go with this great Irving Berlin song. You can find this version in his autobiography Where Have All the Flowers Gone and also on the video above, singing with his grandson Tao Rodriguez Seeger.
