Peter Seeger, più noto come Pete Seeger (New York, 3 maggio 1919 – New York, 27 gennaio 2014), è stato un cantautore e compositore statunitense di musica folk. Assieme a Woody Guthrie (con cui ha collaborato e cantato fin dagli anni quaranta) e Bob Dylan, è fra i più conosciuti folk-singer statunitensi. Attivista politico della sinistra americana e uno dei massimi autori della folk music e della canzone di protesta degli anni cinquanta e sessanta, è autore di famosi talking blues. In Italia era molto nota la sua canzone If I Had a Hammer, lanciata da Rita Pavone con il testo in italiano scritto da Sergio Bardotti e il titolo Datemi un martello, una versione yéyé che non aveva nulla a che fare con il testo e il messaggio dell'originale. Pete Seeger acquistò maggiore notorietà presso il grande pubblico nel 2006, grazie al quattordicesimo album in studio di Bruce Springsteen, We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions. In questo album tributo sono presenti brani tradizionali che Seeger ha contribuito a rendere popolari. Wikipedia
