Thread Name: Can a pop song become traditional?
Subject: RE: Can a pop song become traditional?
Of course popular songs have been taken up by folk singers and altered through the traditions of the folk process countless times. Paul Oliver and Abbott-Seroff are examples of people who have documented examples. I'll add a possible one that I've never seen anyone mention: the "Corn Shucking Time" that Jimmie Strothers knew was possibly influenced by the "Corn Shucking Time" that was used in His Honor The Barber.
