It might be a good idea to develop a hagiology of people in the music business from the Folk Scare era:
  • Harold Leventhal, music manager for The Weavers, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Alan Arkin, Judy Collins, Theodore Bikel, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Mary Travers, Tom Paxton, Don McLean and many others.
  • Milt Okun, created arrangements or produced for a large number of popular groups and artists such as Peter Paul and Mary, The Chad Mitchell Trio, The Brothers Four, John Denver, and Miriam Makeba. In 1968 he interviewed many American folksingers and published the songs they chose in Something to Sing About!.
  • Howie Richmond (TRO/The Richmond Organization), owner of many folk music publishing labels:
